JOE LEBOSI's bediful story

Daphne initially wanted to take up medicine. Thanks to her mother’s hunch, she changed her degree choice to Broadcasting for TV, Film and Radio and has not looked back. Her father was not in favour of her degree change, so she funded her own studies by dancing, tutoring and working part-time as a sales promoter. 

 

Upon completing her degree, she continued with her Master Degree in Screen Studies while working as a Marketing & PR executive at Skywalker TV Facility House. It was during her second year completing her Post-graduate studies, that she was offered a job as a Broadcast Journalist at TV3, and the rest, as they say, is history.

 

Anchoring numerous types of television programmes; from Personal Finance, News & Current Affairs and Magazine shows, to light-hearted entertainment and travelogues – both LIVE and recorded; Daphne has also embarked in producing and acting.

On some days, she sings on events and also mixes on with her Pioneer decks, when her alter ego DJ Def-J beckons. She is also the cofounder of online stores Baajookoo and Eleanor by Daphne Iking.
