Talented Joe ‘nailed’ it
with his voice
HEILIE COMBRINCK
“
Be patient Babe. This is your break that you’ve always wanted.”
These words made Joe Fredericks (33) stay in the queue for an audition of SA’s Got Talent, after he phoned home telling his wife Andrea, it was too cold, he was heading back! “Out of about 7 000 hopefuls on that icy cold Jozi morning I made it through to the top 18. That’s quite an achievement, I believe,” said Joe Fredericks, who was born and raised in the place where all the elephants are, Addo. Joe, an Assistant Accountant at Mercedes Benz Commercial Vehicles East Rand, was the first SA’s Got Talent semi-finalist with the highest public votes, who automatically made it through to the finale which will will be broadcast live this Sunday on e.tv at 18:05. “I discovered that I had talent during a Christmas play in Sub A (Grade 1) when my late music teacher Mr Potgieter asked me to sing ‘Stille Nag’. “I must say I nailed it with my soprano
voice at that time (1988),” said Joe. He matriculated at Gamble Street Secondary School in Uitenhage where he became the Head Boy of the school and boarding house during 1999. I was involved with a lot of music projects and talent competitions and even won a talent search competition hosted by the Uitenhage Child & Family Welfare Society. “A special shout out to Patrick Lindoor or better known as ‘Tururu’. He is one of my role models and a great musician.” Joe is currently staying in Brakpan and he and his wife Andrea have two beautiful kids Jazmyn (8) and Nehemiah (5). “They are my everything and my biggest fans. I love them madly. I am so blessed and I believe that is only God’s favour. I am the third child of my late parents Mr and Mrs Fredericks. I miss them so much, but know they are smiling down on me right now,” said Joe in conclusion. )Joe urges the people from the Eastern Cape to watch the show on Sunday, 18:05 on e.tv and keep on voting.

Brandwag at school of broadcasting - first for EC Algoa FM has partnered with its weekend lunch presenter Tové Kane to open the School of Broadcasting in the Eastern Cape. This is a first of its kind for the province, according to Kane. What is just as exciting is that Brandwag High School has started its own online streaming radio station to instil confidence in their learners when it comes to communication. Thus Algoa FM and Kane have decided to give a free course to one of the school’s learners.
“Some 25 years in the radio industry and related fields have given Tové an edge in understanding the art of communicating,” says Algoa FM managing director Dave Tiltmann. Tové graduated from Rhodes University in 1992, worked at Talk Radio 702 in 1992 during her undergraduate studies, served as the Breakfast Jock at Smart FM in 1994 and as a sports anchor on Talk Radio 702. She worked as a presenter on 94.7 Highveld Stereo from 1996 – 2006, and won the Crystal Award for Best Radio DJ, defeating the other nominees for this award, including Alex Jay,

Jeremy Mansfield, Gareth Cliff, DJ Fresh. Her career includes working on Jacaranda FM between 2006 and 2009 and again in 2010, after which she joined Talk Radio 702 to present Solid Gold. “The school is not just aimed at aspirant radio or TV broadcasters, but is ideal for any who wants to enhance their vocal ability and open up new opportunities,” says Kane. “It will open windows of opportunity for many people including students/scholars with a dream of being on radio, business people who need to improve their presentation
