Guest: Kevin Botha

Pop Rock band Satellite 79 released their latest album ‘Into The Sun’ towards the end of last year – the same core group - but with a new singer and drummer.

The band has been around for many years, with the core group, Kevin Botha on bass and harmonica and Alec Leicher on guitars.

Johannesburg-born and raised, Kevin has also collaborated with the likes of Ed Jordan, Vicky Sampson, and  Mango Groove, co-writing some of their big hits.

He's been writing music since university, but his first big success was a song called Roadblock that he wrote for township artist, Mafika, winning his first gold record in 1987.

Kevin also teaches history at high school and joins us on the line.

Some people with blood-related diseases such as leukaemia, aplastic anaemia, and other rare genetic disorders reach a point where their only chance of survival is to receive a blood stem cell transplant from a donor with the same tissue type.

But the chances of finding such a person is 1 in 100,000 - and of course, can only happen if people chose to sign up on the national database as donors.

To find out more, we're joined by Alana James, Executive Director DKMS Africa, formerly known as The Sunflower Fund.
