A young, budding DJ's dream comes true thanks to The Big Favour
Not only did his wish come true, but this young, up-and-coming DJ also got to meet one of his idols.
In case you missed Thursday's Big Favour, listen to it in the podcast then read more below:
I received an email from Sbonelo, a budding 23-year-old DJ from Eshowe.
He's a huge East Coast Radio fan too and gets his inspiration from our very own DJ Deon Govender and his show, East Coast Party People.

For years, all Sbonelo's has dreamed of is becoming a club DJ. Sadly, finances are tight and Sbonelo wrote in asking if there was anything we could do to make his dream come true?
Donovan Rasch from Musicians Gear Zone in Umhlanga jumped on board and offered to sponsor Sbonelo a top of the range Reloop Beatmix MKII DJ controller and set of Ultrasone DJ Headphones.

Deon Govender also popped in and offered to give Sbonelo some lessons, so look out East Coasters - DJ Sbonelo could soon be playing at a club near you!
A massive thanks to Donovan and his team at Musicians Gear Zone in Umhlanga for making Sbonelo's dream come true.
