A day of great exposure

The media has been very kind to Matla A Bana. CEO Monique Strydom started the day with an early morning interview with Expresso Show on SABC. Then a great interview with KFM and ended the day off with an hour long interview on child abuse at Radio Tygerberg. Thanx to all our media partners for helping us spread the word!
