Game-Changing SuperSport Disruptors: Women Who Lead, Glow, and Take Up Space

To close out Women’s Month with power and flair, SuperSport and PUMA joined forces to celebrate the women who are shaking up the sports media landscape — redefining influence, visibility, and storytelling.

Hosted at Glow Hire Studios, the day brought together some of SuperSport’s most dynamic digital creators and sports personalities: Hope MbheleZenande FunaniNqobile KhweziKriya GangiahVanes-Mari du Toit, and Ashley Pregueiro. Styled by PUMA in looks inspired by F1, football, cricket, padel, and more — each outfit captured the perfect balance of personality, power, and play.

The energy on set wasn’t just about fashion. It was about legacy. Each woman carved her own path into sports broadcasting — from modelling and acting to dominating professional courts and building platforms from scratch. Their journeys reflect resilience, creativity, and an unshakable love for sport.

The conversations went deep — touching on owning space in male-dominated arenas, inspiring future generations, and building platforms that amplify women’s voices in sport. Their stories come together in a special SuperSport Unplugged episode, premiering 12 September 2025 on YouTube.

These are the Disruptors.
