Hansa approves of this board member
The quest to find South Africa's newest Hansa Board of Approval member came to a nail-biting close on Metro FM late last week as Khayelitsha resident Khuthala was awarded the title of “Honorary Hansa Board of Approved Member”, which includes one year's salary of R600 000.

The dramatic final took place live on Metro FM on Friday, 29 August 2008, during the Glen Lewis and Unthai show, where Khuthala went head to head with Piet from Rustenberg, who won R30 000 as a consolation prize.
The competition received tremendous support from the public, with over one million SMS entries being received. Over one million entrants from around the country participated in this competition, either by being selected by a Hansa Board Member scout for an interview or SMSing a number on special promotional packs.
After an extensive search, two finalists were identified and brought to Johannesburg, on a full expenses paid trip, for the final round of interviews, which took place on Metro FM's afternoon drive-time show “The Avenue with Glen And Unati”.
