    Africa Melane talks to Gabriel Eksteen

    Did you know that since the show started at 6AM up until now, nearly
    ten South Africans have suffered strokes?


    The Heart and Stroke Foundation says ten of our citizens suffer this life-changing
    health event every 60 minutes. And what is more alarming is that any one is at risk for having a stroke!
    The biggest risk factor for having a stroke is high uncontrolled blood pressure.

    increase the risk for a stroke.

    strategically with these limited resources if we are to turn the tide on crime.

    or at the end of our fishing line.
