Two popular South African sporting brands committed to shine a brighter spotlight on local talent. Award-winning broadcaster, Carol Tshabalala, fondly known as South Africa’s First Lady of Sport, has partnered with community-focussed sports betting operator, Hollywoodbets, as their latest Brand Ambassador.
Tshabalala, a broadcast veteran of 20 years, has been involved in many of the biggest sporting events in the world. Some of her notable achievements include being the first African female sportscaster to host the Ballon d’Or Awards in 2010, while she was also SuperSport’s anchor for the FIFA 2010 World Cup Tournament with fellow Hollywoodbets Brand Ambassador, Robert Marawa. Tshabalala is currently a live studio anchor for the DStv Premier League and also covered the AFCON tournament. Her sterling work in sportcasting was recognised when she received the 2021 Soccer Africa’s 20th Anniversary Award.
