Toy Story: Nay Nay & Bompie

For our second interview on the show, we discussed an upcoming event held by the Toy Story car club called The Youth In Me Parkjam. Nadine Jardine, Nay Nay, and Nico Joseph, Bompie (in Jasmine’s opinion the “best nicknames ever), are cousins from Delft in the northern suburbs.

“Our main factor here is to give back to the community,” Bompie said. “We want to focus on making lifestyle changes and motivating the young generations of today.”

He said they wanted to shake off the sometimes negative stereotype of “car clubs” and promote a message of positivity. In line with this effort, Bompie and Nay Nay have organized a youth day at . It will have live music and DJs, although the headliners are to be announced on social media. Bompie said that he is excited to bring back rap into its original park setting. 

A potjie kos competition will also be held. Any extra food will be given to the homeless people in and around Delft. Nay Nay said she wanted to get involved because she witnessed the struggles of underprivileged orphans who need support. Toy Story has many charitable events throughout the year that aim to uplift the community.

The event will be held Saturday June 16that 10 AM at the Netball Courts on Voorbrug Main Road in Delft. Registration is 50 rand. To stay up to date with the Youth In Me Parkjam follow Toy Story on their Facebook page under Toystory. For more information or to register, contact D-Low at 084-377-6886.
