30 September 2019 – School holidays are meant to be fun, so we headed off to the Weltevreden Community Center in Mitchell’s Plain for some cycling fun! Together with Coot B Community Watch and our BEC, Vyvan Bean from Mr B’s Bikes, we conducted a safe cycling school holiday program with at least 100 children from the community. Such well behaved children who enjoyed every minute of the training and cycling.

We would like to share a little more about SUGA.

SUGA | PROFILE

What do radio and cooking have in common? Nothing really, but Suga attests to the fact that the ingredients to her success lies in a tried and tested recipe of hard work and determination. Not one rest on her laurels, SUGA is constantly reinventing herself as she goes through life as a mother, media personality and qualified Chef.

SUGA has made a name for herself as a pioneer for female radio personalities, having been one of the first female presenters in South African broadcast history, to host her own Drive show back in the early 2000’s. Over the past twenty-one years she has paved the way for so many aspiring female presenters along the way and continues to push the envelope on a daily basis.

This phenomenal femme fatale is dynamite; as small as she is, she packs a punch! Her afternoon drive show is filled with exciting content; from the entertainment world, to serious topics that are on people’s minds. Her unmistakeable voice and infectious laughter are guaranteed to keep listeners tuned in and engaged.

THANK YOU SUGA for agreeing to be MC for our Auction.
