Talent Short Bio

Andile Ncube the words ‘ambitious’, ‘eloquent’ and ‘charismatic’ would immediately come to mind; and are in fact the contributors to Andile’s path to becoming one of South Africa’s leading and favourite sports presenters.

Originally beginning his TV career on the SABC music show ‘One’, Andile helped to transform the show into the channel’s flagship music show.

Not only did he harness his presentation skills, but he ultimately become one of the shows executive producers and he oversaw the process of transforming the show to what it is now, ‘LIVE’.

Andile has recently been announced as the anchor of two new shows, the most exciting football / talent show to ever hit Mzansi – Nedbank Ke Yona Talent Search and the world’s biggest talent search, XFactor – both airing on SABC.

His height of football achievements came when he was invited to be part of the Ajax Football Academy, which was sadly cut short by a career-ending injury.

This did not dampen Andile’s love and passion for sport.

Andile was handpicked to broadcast at the FIFA World Cup in 2010, hosting the flagship football show on SABC 1, ‘Soccerzone’. The success of the show led to Andile hosting a weekly show called ‘Soccer 411’.

His expansive knowledge of both local and international football, makes him the perfect host for a show that is full of banter and expertise.

Other current shows include Nedbank Ke Yona Team Search on SABC 1 and Sports Goes Retro.

All of this, combined with Andile Ncube past radio career on 5FM and the Breakfast Show on TruFM are but a few of the reasons that Andile is one of the most influential young men in the South African entertainment industry. With his continuous love and passion, Andile is well on his way to becoming a powerhouse in the industry. Most recently, Andile Ncube has been welcomed as the new addition to the Radio 2000 sports show, which airs from Monday to Friday from 18:00pm – 19:00pm.

Talent FAQ's

Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.

Virtual speaking appearances can indeed offer cost savings compared to in-person events. Virtual speaking rates are often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates due to factors such as reduced travel expenses and logistics. This makes virtual events a cost-effective alternative for organizations looking to book speakers within a budget.

Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.

The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.

Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.

Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.
