HOT 102.7FM to Honour Legacy of Mark Pilgrim at ‘Pilgrimage’ Party

Posted on by

I worked with the late Mark Pilgrim during my film and TV industry years. He was our presenter on “Power of 10” and I also produced a live corporate TV show for a large bank, where Mark was the presenter. I will always remember his professionalism as well as his warm, happy and friendly demeanour. He was quick with a joke and being the technology fundi that he was, he was always ready to help if we were challenged with technical difficulties. He is sorely missed on the airwaves and in our hearts.

HOT 102.7FM will pay tribute to this renowned broadcaster, Mark Pilgrim, and honour his legacy by hosting the ‘Pilgrimage’ Party at The Sound Room in Kyalami on Saturday the 10th of June 2023.

The event aims to celebrate the life of one of HOT 102.7FM’s most respected and loved presenters and provide listeners with the opportunity to pay their respects to the man many knew simply as ‘Baldy’, while raising money for one of Pilgrim’s favourite charities – the Reach for a Dream Foundation.

Pilgrim died in March this year at the age of 53 after a battle with cancer, but left his mark on the radio industry – in the hearts and minds of both its members and listeners. It was therefore no surprise that tickets to the Pilgrimage Party sold out in less than 48 hours.

Rubicon’s Latest Collection at SA Fashion Week

Posted on by

21 April 2023 saw the House of Rubicon bring to life an authentic celebration of heritage with the showcasing of their latest collection at South Africa Fashion Week.

Commemorating twenty-one years as a style and culture institution in South Africa’s fashion landscape, Rubicon’s Spring/Summer 2023 collection marries the eastern and western influences with African elegance, while paying homage to the reimagined Myth of Origin story about the lost kingdom of Mapungubwe. 

Founder and Creative Director, Hangwani Nengovhela draws inspiration from the landscapes and artifacts recovered at the world heritage site. The kingdom’s origins, passed through oral history, tell a tale of three brothers journeying through the region. One brother was inspired to stop and sleep over while the other two traveled on. He awoke the next morning to the breathtaking sight of Mapungubwe’s landscape with it’s beautiful salt pans. This brother went on to establish the kingdom that would later be known as both an economic and cultural trading hub inviting travelers from throughout the continent as well as overseas, including Europe and Asia to make the journey to trade in gold, pottery, beading, and other items that were highly coveted in the great iron age.
