John Berks, the legend, to visit Krugersdorp
John will talk about his early life and radio events and personalities that he knew and worked with.
John Berks, who is considered a very important figure in Krugersdorp, will be back in town in March.
He is one of South Africa’s leading radio personalities and will be introduced by Robin Binckes who is the author of the newly released book What A Boykie – The John Berks Story. John will talk about his early life and radio events and personalities that he knew and worked with.
The Rotary Club of Krugersdorp will be hosting this event on 28 March at the Golden Age Village, and the community is invited to attend. The evening will include soup and sherry at a cost of R80.
After many rejections in the radio world, John began his career on LM Radio. He went on to be the catalyst that started “Top Twenty” Radio in South Africa and became the highest earning radio personality in South Africa. This opened up the world of prank calls made by characters such as Gertie, Jan Sweetpak and many others.
Robin Binckes decided to write his new book about John and his personal as well as prank-calling life. The book will be on sale the evening at R300 per copy.
To make a booking, please contact Dehlia van Staden via 011 953 3727.
