About Thabo
Thabo has covered South African sports betting since 2019. He oversees all editorial content on Tips, from operator reviews to regulatory analysis. Before joining NWG, he worked as a sports journalist covering PSL and provincial rugby. He holds a diploma in journalism from the University of Johannesburg.
Thabo sets the editorial standards for every review published on Tips, including the seven-category scoring framework and the test methodology that governs how operators are assessed. He reads every review before publication and is the final decision-maker on ratings and factual disputes.
He follows licensing decisions from South African provincial gambling boards closely and has tracked the NGB Act 2004 regulatory landscape since its first major amendments. His regulatory analysis articles are among the most-read pages on the site.
