UB Radio FM presenter Kitso Phologa of Kanye, the host of the popular segment The Quest, is making an impassioned plea to potential sponsors to help elevate his radio show to international standards.

A vesatile media personality, Phologa wears many hats. He is a corporate MC, television and radio presenter, motivational speaker, and trained social worker. 

“I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Community Development from the Institute of Development Management (IDM), which I completed 2021. I also obtained a Certificate in Social Work and Counselling from Bosa Bosele,” he shared during an interview.

He has brought his talent of public speaking to life by working with different organisations including the then Ministry of Youth Empowerment, Sport and Culture Development,  Fashion Show (Southern Region), Ministry of Health as MC and Host during awards ceremony, IDM Open Day Orientation and Fresher’s ball, Gamaila Festive Meltdown, Kanye Picnic Chillers, Kanye Farm Festival, Miss Seepapitso Senior School amongst others. Known for his captivating voice and motivational energy, Phologa has a growing following and is determined to make The Quest a household name beyond Botswana’s borders. 

“In addition to my radio career, I am a sought-after motivational speaker. My experience working with various corporate organisations speaks to that,” he said.

Phologa also had a short stint at Radio Botswana 2 (RB2), where he co-hosted The Warm Up every Friday from midnight to 3am alongside renowned presenter Osi Lashani. Sharing his journey in the media industry, Phologa revealed that his passion for radio began in childhood stage. 

“I was always glued to the radio. I drew inspiration from presenters like Resego Motlhokathari, Osi Lashane, and Khumo Kgwaadira. It was from them that the dream conceptualise,” he recalled.

He also served as a brand ambassador for a clothing label in Kanye and was once nominated as a Botswana Talent Show presenter. Despite his progress, Phologa admits that financial challenges hindered the full potential of The Quest. 

“It becomes difficult to bring in big-name guests and influencers from outside Gaborone due to limited funds. Many of the artists and influencers I wish to host have massive followings, but without financial support, it’s hard to accommodate them,” he said.

As the show continues to gain popularity, especially on social media platforms, Phologa is calling on businesses and individuals to support the programme through sponsorships. 

“UB Radio FM is trending right now. With the right sponsorships, we can pay experienced producers and take The Quest to new heights. The goal is to turn it into the biggest radio show in the city, and beyond,” he said in closing. ENDS
