This is a recent story I worked on that was published today:

Shoprite South Africa

Ram Harisunker: the mentor who shaped generations of retail leaders From a teenage receiving clerk at a Glenwood supermarket to the boardroom of Africa's largest retailer, Glenashley resident Bhikram 'Ram' Harisunker's remarkable journey inspired generations of South Africans.

You may have noticed that over the past few weeks I've been sharing some of the stories I've had the privilege of writing for Post Plus Newspaper.

One of the greatest joys of this role is celebrating the incredible people, organisations and unsung heroes who make our communities such special places to live.

Now I'd love your help!

I'm looking for interesting story ideas and inspiring people to feature, including:
🍲 Home cooks and bakers with a passion for food
🏆 Young people excelling in sport or academics
🎨 Individuals pursuing unique hobbies, talents or entrepreneurial ventures
❤️ Community champions making a difference
🎭 Artists, musicians, cultural groups and local organisations doing great work

If you know someone whose story deserves to be told, please let me know.

You can:
📧 Email me at [email protected]
or
💬 Leave a comment below and I'll get in touch.

Every community has remarkable people whose stories inspire others. Together, let's shine a light on them and celebrate the positive things happening around us.

I look forward to hearing your suggestions!

With thanks

I have to express my gratitude to 'Annan' Selvan Naidoo of the 1860 Heritage Centre who kindly shared valuable input to my write up...

It was truly a pleasure to capture some of the incredible history dating back 40 years of the RP Moodley School...

I used to play a lot of golf. I do miss it, so writing this piece was especially nostalgic.

Read about this incredibly talented golfer who attributes much of his success to the work put in.

May it inspires you to achieve your own personal pursuits. POST Plus IOL News

Vivek Singh’s Royal Durban triumph Vivek Singh, 42, came from three shots behind to win the Royal Durban Club Championship, sealing victory with a playoff par.

In every community, there are individuals who quietly step forward when challenges arise — not waiting for change, but becoming part of it.

I recently had the privilege of writing a piece for IOL highlighting the efforts of a Musgrave resident who is making a meaningful difference through simple, consistent acts of service and leadership.

It’s a powerful reminder that while service delivery challenges may exist, community-driven action still has the ability to restore pride, inspire others, and create real impact.

Take a moment to read the story below — I hope it resonates as much as it did with me while writing it.
