Thuso Motaung Biography
Thuso Motaung is a South African media personality, radio presenter and part of the famous voices at Lesedi FM, one of the top radio stations in the Rainbow Nation.
While he has been around for decades, he got a lot of bad press recently when another media personality (Kofa) said he should held responsible in the event he or members of his family are killed.
Motaung started his radio odyssey at Lessedi FM, where he inspired many with his shows. He even started a programme dubbed Bua Le Yona Mokganni in response to violence in the Rainbow Nation
Age
To become a celebrity is to become a subject of curiosity. People want to know everything about you, from where you love to the car you drive, right down to your age. But, of course, it isn’t all the time that such information is available. That is the case with Thuso Motaung at the moment. It’s unclear how old he is at the time of writing.
His looks show someone in his middle age.
Net Worth
How much is Moraung worth? That is one question that has been flying about for as long as we can remember. His exact net worth is unclear. However, based on his assets, he has a net of close to R20 million. Combine that with his wife’s and you have a much larger sum.
House
Motaung has a rich real estate portfolio, encapsulating homes in Soweto, Diepkloof, and Bloemfontein. The houses were confiscated from him when it was alleged that he stole millions of rand belonging to his employer the SABC. The houses were later returned to him after the courts found him innocent of the charges preferred against him and his wife
Cars
The media personality is doing pretty well as a person as well as in his career. Although there aren’t many details about the cars he owns, an incident in the past gives a clue about his car assets. He once once accused of stealing R32 million from the SABC and his assets were confiscated from him. But the courts found him not guilty and they were returned to him, including five cars of unknown make.
Wife
Thuso Motaung is no longer in the singles’ club. He is currently married to Mamontha Motaung, who is herself a media personality. In fact, both husband and wife have portfolios in the same media house.
According to her LinkedIn profile, she holds a bachelor’s degree in management leadership from the University of the Free State/Universiteit van die Vrystaat and another bachelor’s degree in business management from the same university.
She is currently the provincial general manager of Northern Cape at SABC, the state-owned broadcasting behemoth.
Contact Details
The media personality is said to be contactable via Studio at 0891101111 and 0891102001. We have not confirmed these numbers, however. He also doesn’t appear to be an Instagram nut, which is not surprising given his age.
Radio Career
Thuso Motaung did not just pop at the top. He had his beginnings from “humble” roots before making it to where he is at the moment. He started his radio career in 1983 when he joined Lesedi FM. Interestingly, he has been at the station since. This makes him one of the longest-serving members of staff at the station.
Of course, in the period since he joined, he has made remarkable career progress, as well as earned a dedicated following.
