Selebogo Molefe — The 'SMME champion' taking YOUFM Business Hour to new heights
'My ultimate dream is to make YOUFM Business Hour the most valuable SMME show in the country,' says Selebogo Molefe, the new host of the popular business show on YOUFM. A serial entrepreneur with a deep passion for empowering emerging founders across Africa, Molefe is now poised to redefine how entrepreneurship is discussed on radio.
Though radio was never part of Molefe's original plans, he sees his unexpected journey into broadcasting as a blessing. 'I was doing my own thing when the call to come host the business show came along. I can't wait to leave a lasting legacy in the minds of the listeners,' Molefe said.
Known for his commitment to uplifting entrepreneurs, Molefe is determined to use YOUFM Business Hour as a platform for more than just market discussions. His goal is to offer mentorship, profile up-and-coming businesses, and create a space where entrepreneurs can learn and grow together. This focus aligns with Molefe's broader passion: starting entrepreneurship-driven projects that place community development at the heart of economic progress.
With years of experience in organising high-profile corporate events, Molefe has developed a diverse skill set, from project management to event co-ordination, all of which contribute to his success as an entrepreneur. His leadership journey has also been shaped by mentorship under influential figures like Prof Bonang Mohale, a relationship that has helped him understand the importance of opening doors and creating opportunities for others.
When he's not behind the mic, Molefe is busy building his business, The Biz Plug, an SMME development agency that provides accredited training, mentorship and coaching for small business owners. The Biz Plug partners with various corporate and government agencies to drive enterprise & supplier development (ESD) and support the growth of emerging businesses.
In addition, Molefe has recently launched Share The Codes ( an initiative that connects entrepreneurs, investors and buyers to foster collaboration and growth. The initiative's Joburg chapter engagement takes place monthly at Johannesburg Business School's Centre for Entrepreneurship, with plans to expand nationally, starting with Rustenburg in August.
'I'm not a business show guy. I'm not a finance guy. What I am is an SMME champion,' Molefe says, reflecting on his years of helping companies grow. 'I've been doing this for many years, and I believe we can achieve great things for ourselves, each other, and ultimately YOUFM.'
