Producer and Manager Leneave Hansen joins The Morning Cruise to introduce BLACK VULCANITE.

Black Vulcanite, they appear to remember the future. They are not a rag tag posse of loonies that see things that don't exist; they are a rag tag posse of loonies that see things that don't exist YET. Some of you will call them visionaries long after their time and some of you will marvel at their gifts today. This bio has nothing to do with precognition or how they are kinda fuggen dope, this is a terrestrial and extraterrestrial broadcast announcing their presence in your schools, malls and offices. I hope you are watching closely.

Black Vulcanite members Mark Mushiva, Alain Villet & Nikolai Tjongarero arrive in CPT in July watch this space for gig updates!

In Studio Today: Sammi Cakes





SAMMI CAKES

Young Entrepreneur Samatha Luter explains that she Sammi Cakes was born out of both necessity and demand. Sam says, after being retrenched she attended a short baking and cake design course and started baking for friends and family. The demand for her novelty cakes soon grew and continues to rise.

Sam adds that young entrepreneurs should identify their strengths and 'do what they love', they should also be resilient because the entrepreneurial route is a challenging one, but if one does what one loves the rewards are far greater than the risks.

In Studio Today: Liesl Schoonraad


In Studio Today: Liesl Schoonraad

Strong Woman Liesl Schoonraad joins The Morning Cruise.


  STANDING STRONG FOR THOSE WHO CANT




  

 WHO AND WHAT IS STRONG 4 CHARITY?


Strong 4 Charity is the brainchild of Liesl Schoonraad. A strongwoman from Cape Town South Africa who has completed 3 challenges of which 2 were strength events, in 2011.


Liesl succesfully pulled a 10 ton truck in November 2011 and became the first woman in South Africa to do so. In December 2011 she became the first woman in the world to pull a Dakota Aircraft. Both pulls were done in a body harness only with no arm rope. She did all the events to help raise awareness around Cerebral Palsy. A condition where you have very little or no muscle control. In April 2011 on her 40th birthday she completed one of the world's most dangerous sea swims from Robben Island to Big Bay in Cape Town.


Liesl is currently planning to visit schools and hospitals to motivate kids to "stand strong" even when times are tough and life hits with challenges. Dedicated to her sport, she shows compassion to those less fortunate by pushing her body to the limit.


In 2012 she will do demo's of strength events to encourage children to one day consider becoming the future strongmen/women of the world. She is currently also doing motivational talks to encourage people to empower themselves on a physical. mental and emotional level. It has been wonderful to have the support and thumbs up for combining the sport with charity and motivational events from a few of the world's best Strongmen such as Terry Hollands, Mark Felix and Derek Poundstone as well as receiving huge support from her friend, WWE The Big Show.


With huge media interest (tygerburger, die burger, die beeld, the new age, sabc news, e-tv news, sabc expresso show) in the past 2 events as well as radio interviews we are convinced every company and sponsor involved will benefit from being a part of these epic adventures.


She has the support from Planet Fitness Gym, home of Liesl Schoonraad, to assist her in working on her fitness and strength. Schools, hospitals and charities are welcome to contact us and we will see if we are strong enough to make a few dreams come true.


We hope to encourage everyone to reach for their dreams no matter what!


YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE CONTROL OVER THE PAST...


BUT YOU HAVE CONTROL OVER YOUR FUTURE! IT IS YOURS, TAKE IT!


If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact Liesl at

In Studio Today: PAWUSA

In Studio: PAWUSA General Secretary, Gavin Jood joins The Morning Cruise to discuss PAWUSA's 45 Year Celebration.

PAWUSA is one of the oldest trade unions in South Africa with a rich history of proud members united in the struggle for the rights and freedoms of workers.


The organization was formed on 23rd November 1967 in Cape Town, as the Public Service League (PSL), when access to racially segregated unions was prohibited, and changed name to the Public and Allied Workers Union of South Africa (PAWUSA), in 1995 after the event of our new democracy.

STATEMENT: Launch of PAWUSA 45th Anniversary Celebration 1967 - 2012


Held at PAWUSA national office, 5 Buiten Street, Cape Town.

Once in a while, the power of human effort triumphs over adversity, and this is the case in the existence of PAWUSA, in its fight for the rights and freedoms of workers in South Africa. Remembering this fight, and the fight for equality, in the month of the worker, has got to be placed in context.

We have launched our celebration of 45 Years in existence, since PAWUSA was founded in 1967. The celebrations will be held in November 2012, in George. Every member has been sent a 45 Year celebration pack together with a celebration lanyard.

PAWUSA, the Public & Allied Workers Union of South Africa, formerly known as the Public Servants League PSL, or SDL Staats Diens Liga, is one of the oldest unions in the Public Service.

PAWUSA'S history dates back to 1967 when the PSL (Public Servants League) was established in Cape Town, on 23 November 1967 to represent employees in the public service.
