A sought-after
MC/MODERATOR

I love conversations, whether it’s on air or through public speaking events or moderating panels, and I’m always looking for ways to broaden my horizons and learn from others. I bring this professionalism, warmth and curiosity to my role as an MC and facilitator.

"A pleasure to work with"
We had the pleasure of working with Gugu for a media roundtable hosted by The Paper Manufacturers of South Africa (PAMSA). Gugu was a pleasure to work with and interacted with our guests in a delightful manner that kept them engrossed and energetic. We highly recommend her to any company or agency that is looking for a professional MC for their next event.

"An incredible asset"
During One Day Leader series 7 & 8 Gugu proved to be an incredible asset on the show with her extensive knowledge and understanding of the socio-economic issues not only in South Africa but globally.

The contestants on the show, the producers and the audience in general benefited immensely from her wealth of knowledge.
