Well-known to OFM listeners as the journalist with the golden voice, Olebogeng Victoria Motse, or Lebo or Ole for short, was born in the North West capital of Mafikeng, and also raised in a small rural town called Whittlesea in the Eastern Cape, where after she eventually matriculated St Joseph's Christian Brother's College in Bloemfontein.

Olebogeng returned to the Eastern Cape, specifically Grahamstown and later Port Elizabeth, to further her studies.

Throughout student life, she dabbled with different forms of storytelling before settling on audio as an OFM News journalist, a place she has called home since 2017.

With family being of utmost importance, Olebogeng lives with her elderly mother and aunt, who are her support system and best friends.

When she’s not chasing stories or behind the mic, Olebogeng likes to listen to podcasts with Serial, Code Switch, Trump inc, the New Yorker Radio Hour, and Black Girl in Om, marked as some of her favourites. She also enjoys cooking, playing the piano and watching movies.

Olebogeng loves the immediacy of radio and its ability to reach people of different backgrounds and cultures. One of her passions include the African continent and betterment thereof as well as what she calls a ‘naive’ belief in storytelling's ability to change the world

Labelling herself as an oddball and nerd, and something which she believes could inform some of her strange views, Olebogeng’s favourite quote comes from her favourite author, Toni Morrison: “Make up a story... For our sake and yours forget your name in the street; tell us what the world has been to you in the dark places and in the light. Don't tell us what to believe, what to fear. Show us belief's wide skirt and the stitch that unravels fear's caul.”

She believes that this can be applied beyond the scope of just storytelling.

“All of our dreams are valid and we all can bring something to the table, so we shouldn’t be scared to go after that bold dream or bring that business idea you’ve always had to fruition. It’s a wonderful quote, by an even more amazing woman.”
