A solidly qualified media professional with a string of qualifications in the journalism and communications fields, her star continues to rise at the SABC.

Her latest appointment is that of acting group executive corporate affairs and marketing, a position that enjoys a high public profile, but quite demanding as in this new position she will have to manage a number of interests from diverse stakeholders.

Ms Seapolelo also served as the Acting General Manager for Media Relations as well as the SABC Spokesperson from 2019 until 2021,” said the SABC in a media statement.
