Tswelopele Mohapi Is Writing Her Own Story in Sports PR

Woman in PR and Sponsorship finalist Tswelopele Mohapi, who rose from youth football tournament volunteer to account executive at Playmakers while opening doors for other young women in sports communication, joined the class of 2026 at the 21st gsport Awards at the Wanderers Club in Illovo, Johannesburg, on Saturday, 8 August 2026.

Tswelopele Mohapi went to the gsport Awards as a plus-one and returned a year later as a Woman in PR and Sponsorship finalist, driven by her late mother’s final message, a belief in calling sport simply sport and a mission to lift women.
