EAST COAST RADIO REP THE WARRIOR NATION:

If it’s a Friday, there’s only one way to show up: in black, white, and nothing else. Sharks Fridays has been a popular way for fans all over the country to show support for the Warrior Nation every week. And East Coast Radio’s Breakfast Team Darren Maule, Sky Tshabalala, and Carmen Reddy are just a few of those eager fans. 

The team recently rocked their Warrior Nation club colours and spoke on air all about their love for Sharks Fridays.  

Darren: “Guys, it’s such a vibe here at East Coast Radio Studios at East Coast Radio House on a Friday. I went into the loo, and coming out of the loo was the producer for Carol Ofori’s show, and then coming into the loo behind me was the producer of my show, and everyone was wearing black and white. It was like we had a secret meeting in the loo….It’s just you and everyone else wearing black and white on the day. It’s so cool.” 

Carmen: “I love Sharks Fridays because then when you see your colleague that you don’t really normally talk to and that you don’t really know, you’re all wearing the same thing. So now you’re friends. Now you can chat to them. You can talk about your jersey, tell them how nice it’s fitting. No, I’m kidding. I love the fact that we’re all united and we’re all ready for the weekend and we just psych ourselves up and we back the Sharks, which is amazing.”

Sky: “So yeah, the vibe here at East Coast Radio House on Sharks Friday – it’s amazing. It also gives you the sense of it’s matchday or like the next day it’s going to be match day. So we’re excited. Everyone is keen. And, we all speak Sharks rugby language.”

Darren: “My favourite part about Sharks Fridays is that normally we wake up really early in the morning and we have to make the big decision about what to wear. But with Sharks Fridays, that’s eliminated. It’s so easy. It’s black and white, off the shelf, on my shoulders, bada bing, bada boom.”

Sky: “My favourite part about Sharks Fridays is the energy around the office. Everyone is on the verge of just scrumming and doing lineouts and it’s energetic. It’s fiery, but in the right direction: positive energy. 

“My favourite Jersey is the black one because it makes me look like a Zulu warrior. I’m looking forward to the DHL Stormers game because the last game the Sharks played against Munster was five star. They were amazing. And I cannot wait to beat the Stormers who I don’t think have been having a great season.”

Darren: “I love wearing my home Jersey because then it’s unambiguous. It’s black. with some white and that is not even close to any other team. Do you know which game I’m really looking forward to? You know those Stormers, they like coming here to our backyard and causing upsets. Those days are over. Sharks are taking on Stormers here at home. They’re going to be in tears.
