BOBBY SKINSTAD
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Robert Brian (Bobby or Bob) Skinstad (born 3 July 1976 in Bulawayo, Rhodesia) is a Zimbabwean-born South African rugby union player who has represented the national team, the Springboks, 42 times, scoring 55 points (11 tries). Skinstad was selected by Western Province for the Currie Cup and Super 12, and went on to captain both sides. He then moved to Johannesburg and played the 2003 season for the Golden Lions (Currie Cup) and the Cats (Super 12) before leaving for the United Kingdom. Having represented South Africa at all levels, including captaining the under 21 Springbok side in 1996 and 1997, and playing for the SA Sevens team in 1997, Skinstad made his début for the Springboks as a replacement on 29 November 1997 against England. In all he played 42 tests for the Springboks, scoring 11 tries.
His inclusion in the 1999 World Cup squad at the expense of successful captain Gary Teichmann was highly controversial in South Africa, and although South Africa finished third in the competition there were many who believed that Teichmann should have been retained as captain for that tournament. Skinstad carried a leg injury into the competition, and made little impression. Skinstad captained the Springboks in 12 tests, since 24 October 2003.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][distance type=”2″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”medium” img_link_large=”” image=”739″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]

DJ FRESH
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Thato Sikwane, aka DJ Fresh, started out in radio in Botswana in the early nineties and from the minute he was shown the mic he knew that broadcasting was the only career for him. Despite his enormous success, Fresh remains humble about his achievements and still has many goals to pursue: “I feel I still have a way to go – if I could use the analogy of a truck with ten gears I’d only be in sixth gear now. I’m still building the foundations of my career – so much can still be done. I like to push myself, the boundaries, and people’s perceptions of the boundaries. Fresh describes 5FM as having extremely high standards and benchmarks which inspire him to be even more inspired. Having spent almost 10 years on the DriveTime show, he moved on to present breakfast last year, taking over from Gareth Cliff. It was a move he took on in a heartbeat and the super early start in the mornings don’t bother him at all. He’s been quoted as saying as long as he has a mic and someone who will listen to him; he doesn’t mind doing any slot on radio.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][distance type=”2″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”medium” img_link_large=”” image=”711″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]

RON RUTLAND
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The Daily Telegraph headline said it all: ’South African fan cycles 43 000 kilometres to watch his team lose’.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Is there a bigger name in world cricket than KP? The South African who found fame and fortune in England has frequently found headlines on both front and back pages, and his England career ended in controversial circumstances, but love him or hate him, there’s no doubting the natural genius of the Maritzburg College old boy.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”S2: Episode 1 Guests”][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1427456041204{margin-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self” image=”551″ img_size=”medium” img_link_large=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]
GARETH CLIFF
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]From university radio to breakfast host on 702, Gareth shot to stardom overnight – and then went stratospheric with 5FM’s breakfast show and his role as a judge on Idols.
