Partying at Parow on Madiba Day

Live performances

Approximately 200 locals and staff celebrated the birthday of one of the world's most famous icons, with Cape Town's Premier, Helen Zille delivering an inspirational speech to add to the crowds' joyful spirit.

The partners collected much needed food for the hungry as their 67 minutes of giving back. A red carpet set the stage for businesses and locals in the area to carry in their food product donations, and the crowd was treated to musical and dance talents on PenBev's Coca-Cola gig rig stage.

The fun-filled line-up included acts by Rouchelle Liedemann (the station's breakfast presenter and Skouspel performer); Jan-Hendrik Fourie (guitarist and singer); Neville D (singer); the One Crown rock band; the Little Drummer Boys; and the Origin of Dance kids.

Donating supplies

In the spirit of giving, PenBev supported the Beaconvale Frail Care Centre by donating much needed supplies to the home for less fortunate who live at the Centre in Mitchells Plain. Thirsty participants were also treated to an ice-cold soft drink donated by the company.

"We are grateful to be in a position to give back to our local community and we would like to thank the radio station for giving us the opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to the local community," comments Denise Green, CSI manager at PenBev. "We wished Madiba a happy birthday and a speedy recovery and were very fortunate to be part of various Mandela Day activities."

"Madiba has positively impacted South Africa and the world with his acts of service, humility and forgiveness. These qualities were evident today with organisations, listeners and charities participating on our premises. We sent a big thank you to PenBev for bringing extra joy to this festive occasion," comments Hardus Zevenster, CEO at Radio Tygerberg.
