JOBURG – Carol continues to break boundaries as a sportscaster
Award-winning local sports broadcaster, Carol Tshabalala, is now a regular face on the British soccer show, Barclays Premier League Football Today.
Tshabalala is a sports television presenter, emcee, radio presenter, boxing ring announcer, scriptwriter and voice artist.
She recently anchored the Premier League Football Today live show in the London studios, alongside two English Premier League greats, Darren Bent, former Sunderland and Tottenham Hotspurs player and Matthew Upson, former Chelsea and West Ham player.
The self-acclaimed first lady of sport, Tshabalala has now been in the business for 16 years and is arguably one of the best sports anchors this country has produced.
