Comedy for a Cause

The Edith Benson Children's Home in Sherwood, home to at least 60 children of various ages was recently gutted in a fire. Since then, the community at large have shown grate generosity in donating clothes, food and other necessities that were required for the care of the kids. Although there were many donations, it still isn't enough and more funds are needed to repair the home. With this in mind, Comedy for a Cause came about, Jo Holroyd went about and appealed to almost every single comedian in Durban to come together and assist with the relief of the Edith Benson Children's Home by partaking in this one night only comedy showcase.

The lineup is like a box of chocolates as Durban's biggest, smallest, and brand new comedians share the stage for a hysterical night of comedy in order to raise funds for a cause that is no laughing matter. The show which will take place next Tuesday at the Sky Venue which is based on the top floor of the Southern Sun Elangeni Maharani will include likes of East Coast Radio producer Rory Petzer, award winning Zulu comedienne Nono R, East Coast Radio's Neil Green, Leah Jasmine who self professed herself as Durban's "Queen of Woke Comedy", dark comic and culture expert Bob Perfect as well as newcomers like Akheel Maharaj, Troy Tesla, Sbu Myanda, Musa Zondi and Venessa Morton as well as a host of up and coming established comics. The lineup is colourful, and their topics will be too, so it's best to leave kids at home for this one as a no under 18s are allowed.

Worlds Longest Test Drive

Want to be part of history? Well this is your chance! In celebration of launching their new Sportage model, KIA Motors South Africa are taking this opportunity to embark in what will be the Worlds Longest Test Drive right here in our country. Kicking off on October the 14th in Durban, the route will see a fleet of 10 Sportage's travel across the country visiting the numerous KIA Motors dealerships, and finally ending the journey in Cape Town on the 20th of October.

The test drive won't only be the longest in distance but also the biggest in terms of number of vehicles used in it. The vent will bring together hundreds of consumers from all across the country as they test drive a part of the route in a relay, not only to experience what the new Sportage has to offer but also putting them in with a chance to win the all-new KIA Sportage. 

David Sieff, the Marketing Director of KIA Motors South Africa had this to say, "As the vehicle that revolutionized the compact SUV market and the KIA brand in South Africa, the all new Sportage will make a bold statement when it launches locally in October. It's a vastly improved vehicle in every way, and will prove itself over the duration of the World's Longest Test Drive as the ultimate compact SUV for South African families."

The entire journey will be captured on various recording devices, from dashcams to drones and a 24-7 film crew as part of this epic event. Joining the fun also will be local and international KIA spokespeople, local artist and celebrities as well as Instagrammers such as Lebo Lukewarm and Mike Eloff. KIA Motors is also taking this opportunity to give back to the communities on route by delivering educational supplies to schools in need.
