My one on one interview with Leigh-Anne Williams

Hello All

Let me just do a  Throwback  ( #tb )  to that time in 2013, when I visited the Expresso Show Studio during their live morning broadcast, to interview some of their presenters.


With her infectious smile and huge personality, Leigh-Anne Williams sat down with me after her live recording of the Expresso Show on SABC 3 to tell me a bit about her favourite travel destination.

Leigh-Anne and I. She is still smiling even after an early morning recording of the show.

What was your one favourite place either locally (in South Africa) or abroad to visit?

"My favourite place has to be Seychelles. The serenity of it and the people are so welcoming."

What about the place did you enjoy?

" It has to be the coral beach. One can do so many water activities there like snorkeling and scuba diving. There's windsurfing and waterskiing as well. I like being adventurous."

Any interesting fact(s) that you learned about the place while you were there?

"The people are really friendly. The wildlife is spectacular. They speak English, Creole and French. I loved hearing their lingo."

Any recommendations that you would give to others when visiting the place?

"Seychelles is not expensive at all. They have a popular delicacy called Breadfruit, which can be eaten boiled or fried. Very interesting."

My visit to the Expresso Show studios in Sea Point, Cape Town

I am a Capetonian born and bred like I have mentioned before. I love the Atlantic Seaboard, especially Sea Point. The amazing fresh air near the ocean. The fantastic mountain views and where better to have a studio, than in Sea Point with those views. Locals and foreigners, usually use the Sea Point Promenade as their point of retracting from the world and going for an early morning run or walk before or after work.

So on the 7th floor of a very stylish and modern office building in Sea Point, SABC 3's morning breakfast show,  "The Expresso Show" is recorded. I visited the studios one early morning, where there was a buzz of activity in the studio as live recording was taking place. Such energy radiated through the different areas of the studio.

Well, I would be surprised if that energy was not there. With the views of the mountain and ocean on either side of the studio, how can anyone who is part of  The Expresso Show not be energised to work there. The employees day starts early, so the smell of  fresh coffee through the back area of the studios is dominant.

Check out my blog soon for my face to face interviews with presenters of the show: Graeme Richards, Ewan Strydom, Leigh-Anne Williams, Danine Naidoo and Photographer for the show, Gunther Schubert.
