Mablomo, born Jacob Malesela Legodi, is a 30-year-old seasoned events’ guru, voice-over artist, actor, and musician from rural Mashashane Bellingsgate, outside Polokwane in Limpopo.
With a career spanning over six years, Mablomo has established himself as a talented and versatile artist in the entertainment industry. He is the proud Founder and CEO of Mablo Productions and Mablomo’s Media Expo & Projects- a Global Media Prolific Group Pty Ltd.
Mablomo made his first TV debut on SABC 1’s popular Skeem Saam and eTV’s Rhythm City as an extra. He has collaborated with acclaimed South African giants, including Seputla Sebogodi, who serves as his acting coach. Mablomo has also worked under the direction of the late Mr. Mahuma Paul Rapetsoa and Matome Rapetsoa, the Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Mahuma Group and Get Down Productions. “I’m forever grateful for the experience and wisdom gained from working with industry legends at Matora Complex. Our heritage is a treasure”. Mablomo expressed.
In addition to his practical experience, in 2019 Mablomo has undergone formal training in Media Studies completing 8 modules at NQF Level 4, covering topics such as theatre, performing arts, directing, producing, scriptwriting, radio, film, and backstage. He also completed a 12-month program from Cathsseta under MIA (Mahuma Institute for the Arts) and holds a qualification in Mechanical Engineering, NQF 4 Engineering and Related Design.
Mablomo has been featured in several stage plays written and directed by the late Mr. Mahuma Paul Rapetsoa, including “Can’t Wait,” “Our Cry,” “What If,” “Beyond,” and “Not Worth It.” He has also established an NPO registered with the Department of Social Development, Mablo Productions, which recently introduced the Industrial Theatre production “Pandemic,” written and directed by Skeem Saam’s Itumeleng Kekana, Kwena Tiisetso Mashala (Author of Bokgoni). Mablomo plays the role of Lebeu in this play, which focuses on GBV. He will be touring schools in the Capricorn Municipality later this month to educate learners about GBV and health. “It’s alarming to see how Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is escalating in our country, yet many people still remain silent and unwilling to discuss the issue openly. Education and awareness are crucial in encouraging people to speak out and break the silence surrounding GBV.” Says Mablomo .
Legodi has bagged special features on several Gospel music videos with big names including Dr.Winnie Mashaba ft. Mr Kreative Kutullo Moagi and Nico Moteni’s Fola Moya Waka and Lemenemene by Mr Kreative Kutullo Moagi.

He has also worked with the prominent figures and featured on various media houses, including Thobela FM, Energy FM, Gateway FM, Radio Turf, and Strictly Mashashane. Mablomos is also available for all sorts of appearances. “Special thanks to Tswako Music and Dr. Winnie Mashaba for allowing me the opportunity to be part of her music journey”. He said.
Mablomo’s ultimate goal is to build huge studios all over Limpopo where talented youth can reach their full potential. He is currently focused on securing stakeholders for his NPO Mablo Productions, to spread GBV awareness more widely. Mablo Productions is proudly supported by Mablomo’s Media Expo & Projects, King Maker Production, and Wyza Media Studios. “I urge the Department of Arts and Culture, SAPS, Department of Health and other organizations to support our community-impact initiatives”.
