“It’s incredibly heartening to see young people eager to step up and contribute to the community. Their dedication and past contributions at the Welcoming of the Whale Festival have already made a significant impact, and we are thrilled to welcome them into the RTL8 family,” the spokesperson of RTL8, Shaun Venter, said.

The new recruits will undergo a vetting process at the Brighton Beach Police Station, where they will receive police clearances as part of their official onboarding. According to Venter, this step is crucial as it aligns with RTL8’s standards for ensuring the safety and integrity of their community outreach efforts.

The new team members include Simo Duma, Lusanda Mbhele, Ayanda Smith, Brandon Swartling, Bright Raula, Masilo Masilo, Lindelwa Damane, Lusanda Mbhele, Siyanda Dlamini and Mhlengi Mkhize.

In a statement from the organisation, they said that the introduction of these young talents signifies a promising future for RTL8’s community initiatives.
