You may know him from Deal or No Deal South Africa but he also hosts Deal or No Deal Celebrity. 

The show recently concluded with none other than Maboe in the hot seat.

The banker teamed up with Hulisani Ravele, turned the tables on our favourite host in the finale and fans of the show finally got to see what he would do. 

Maboe went all the way and won R150,000 for Hope Cape Town.

“I am happy that I got to experience that because, for the longest time, I have just been the one in the passenger seat… The fear that comes with the elation? It’s such a molave of emotions that it’s indescribable.”
– Katlego Maboe

Maboe says hosting the show has been a phenomenal experience.

Each week, people have the opportunity to change their lives and he has a front-row seat.

“[We] are all bonded together by this idea that we really want to bring back the unit of the South African family… [the whole family] all seated around, watching ‘Deal or No Deal’.” 
– Katlego Maboe 
“For me, on a personal level, it’s being able to create a space where people can really come to a moment of self-actualisation. When last did you ask your friends, ‘What do you dream about for yourself?’”
– Katlego Maboe
