Meet Suzy

"I am a single mom of two beautiful boys. I come from a family of five where I am the second eldest child. My dreams and aspirations were to become a Lawyer or Social Worker since I always felt like I needed to do more and make a difference within my community. I love seeing and making people happy no matter what.
‍
I am not a cake person, but I love savory foods. Music and dancing make me feel some sort of way as if it does something to the soul. Comedy puts a smile on a person’s face which I love because I think I am kind of funny. Putting a smile on people's faces is my motto in life, “just be easy and lekker”. Because I love making people laugh and smile, I believe that RLabs.FM can help me put a smile on your face."

Meet DJ Garry

"I took up DJing as a hobby with Electrical CircusMobile Disco which leads me to become a club DJ at Cape Town’s top night spots. I was then able to purchase my first business after my studies and ran the business for more than 25 years. This business has allowed me to do what I love doing the most which is Sound Engineering.

Last year during Covid-19 Lockdown, the events industry took a huge blow and came to a grinding halt. This was when I joined the RLabs Radio team to provide my service to link staff and community of RLabs while everyone was working from home. The segments that once started as a 1-hour program evolved into 3-hour segments and who knows what’s next for RLabs Radio?"
