Elana for Jacaranda ‘WorkZone’
JACARANDA FM has revealed that award-winning TV and radio personality and “mom-preneur” Elana Afrika-Bredenkamp will soon be joining the line-up.
From August 1, AfrikaBredenkamp will be presenting the WorkZone, weekdays from 9am to 12pm, taking over from Mack Rapapali who moves to night-time.
Elana is one of the best-known and loved personalities on the entertainment scene.
She will continue to work on current and new TV shows, as well as deliver parenting inspiration on Elana Afrika’s Baby Brunch, featured on Jacaranda FM’s podcast hub, JacPod.
Her primary focus, however, will be ensuring that WorkZone continues to deliver the “no-repeat” promise with all of Jacaranda FM’s favourite artists in the mix, stellar content and continuous updates on news and traffic.
“Bringing a presenter of Elana’s calibre and charisma on board adds gravitas to our daytime line-up.
“She’s already a hit with her roles in TV and radio, and our audience are going to love her,” said Jacaranda FM GM Kevin Fine.
“Coming back to Jacaranda FM feels like home,” said AfrikaBredenkamp. I’ve always wanted to use my talent for good – the amazing team at this radio station understands positive change and the impact of giving back, and I’m excited to be part of that!”
In other line-up changes, Mack Rapapali moves to 10pm – 1am, Monday to Thursday nights. EXECUTIVE Producers of the Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100, include Dr Precious MoloiMotsepe, Patrice Motsepe, Kweku Mandela, Dave Holmes, Declan Kelly, Liza Henshaw and Hugh Evans.
Hosts of the Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100 include Naomi Campbell, Sir Bob Geldof, Gayle King, Bonang Matheba, Tyler Perry and Forest Whitaker.
The Festival broadcast will be produced by Ben Winston and Fulwell 73 Productions. Nelson Mandela famously called for this generation to realise an end to extreme poverty in one of his last public speeches, and Global Citizen has campaigned on this message with activist-driven events in Vancouver, London, Brussels, and at the upcoming 2018 Global Citizen Festival to be held in New York’s Central Park on September 29.
Activists and music fans can begin to earn their free tickets starting on August 21, and can sign up today at www.globalcitizen.org. za, to demand that world leaders make major investments to end extreme poverty and take a stand for women and girls.
The “Mandela 100” campaign seeks to mobilise $1 billion in new commitments for the world’s most marginalised people, with $500 million set to impact the lives of 20 million women and girls worldwide.
