PRESS RELEASE: ECR presenter Zaba tells DUT students to “focus on your passion and work hard!”:
“Passion is everything. When you pick a career, make sure it’s something you love!” That’s part of the advice East Coast Radio presenter Zaba served up to students at the Durban University of Technology this morning (Thursday, 18 September 2014). “Don’t worry about the money,” she told the scores of students who gathered to watch her in action. “Just focus on your passion and work hard at it. Everything else will fall into place.”

Zaba broadcast her 9am to 12pm show live from the DUT sports centre at the Steve Biko campus, getting to know students, giving them career advice, sharing fashion tips and of course posing for selfies.
“The two mottos I live by are: ‘Change comes in a little box called patience’ and ‘To get something you’ve never had, you’ve got to do something you have never done.’ So remember that everything changes but be patient. And when you go out there to get what you want from this world, take a few risks. They’re very rewarding.”
While Zaba was live onair, DUT students got the chance to meet and interact with some of people who work “behind the scenes” at East Coast Radio, getting hands-on advice on technical and production issues.
There were also free pedicures on offer as the station gears up to celebrate #FlipFlopFriday tomorrow.
ECR All Stars (made up of ECR staff members, including Sirshin Moodliar and Jason McCall from the 9pm to midnight show, Trending Tonight) were brave (or foolish) enough to take on the DUT Basketball Team in a friendly match. Needless to say, DUT won 88-42, but everyone had loads of fun!

Hot on the heels of John Legend’s All Of Me concert in November, The Script will be wowing fans for one night only, at the ICC Durban Arena on 6 February 2015.
Talk about a worldwide phenomenon! The guys from The Script have sold over 20 million albums worldwide since they burst onto the music scene in 2001! What’s more, all three of their albums went multi-platinum throughout the world.
Hall Of Fame, the lead single from their last album #3, globally topped charts with fans snapping up over 5 million copies. The video has notched up more than 133 million Youtube views.
Lead singer, Danny O’Donoghue, has promised KZN fans all their mega-hits including, The Man Who Can’t Be Moved, Breakeven (Falling To Pieces) and For The First Time. He says they will also be sharing music from their new album No Sound Without Silence.
The Script’s music has been featured in popular TV programmes like 90210, Ghost Whisperer, The Hills, and The Vampire Diaries.
They will be supported by five-time SAMA-nominated and MTV MAMA award-winning Durban band, Gangs of Ballet.
The Script’s last SA tour was a complete sell-out so to avoid a serious case of FOMO, make sure you get your hands on your tickets early.
Tickets are R295 – R520. They go on sale on Monday, 15 September 2014 at 9am from Computicket.
