In the world of radio, Romy Titus is no stranger. "Change is the only constant I guess, and in the world of sport, it’s no different. SABC has undergone changes as a whole and I’ll now be focusing on a weekend sports show called, The Touchline with Romy Titus on Radio 2000", said Romy. Sticking to her true sporting passion, coming up with the shows’s name was no easy task. "There were so many names that my Producer and my Executive Producer and I had to narrow it down to a top 3…. Because I’m known in the sports world for my football touchline reporting, we thought to bring it home to the hearts and the minds of the fans in this way… I feel it has a nice ring to it too.” Romy, who has made her business to put women in sport as her focus, aims to invite various women guests to the show and offer them a platform to share their story. The show encompasses all sport from the cinderella sports to main stream sports such as soccer and rugby. "I’ve gone as far as embracing sport within communities. I’m talking about pre-primary sports days and encouraging tomorrow’s Boks and Proteas as well, that is important to me.” Romy says. What can we expect from the show? Expect to be satisfied!!! She’ll be serving up a mean dish of all sorts of sports! So come hungry! Romy has always been a visible figure within the sporting industry and she credits sports for how it unifies a community, a school, a family and a country. "There’s nothing you cannot tackle without sport as the catalyst. That’s the beauty of being the voice behind the mic …. There’s amazing stories to share and I’m in the driver’s seat!” she concludes. When asked if there were any interesting guests we can look forward to, Romy jokingly responded with, “Man, if I can find Lewis Hamiliton, Sloane Stephens or Serena Williams they’ll be in the studio in a heart beat… but before we give the international stars a platform, local is lekker and our own home grown stars are all invited to share “The Touchline”, with me. Romy, who has been with Radio 2000 for many years, hopes to grow the show and maintain that valued relationship. "The station has always valued me and I have never taken my job for granted. Not for a minute! While I stand in on talk radio from time to time – I hope to grow the female voice in sport on the station and to instill in people that I might wear a dress and rock heels – but sport is part of my DNA and I’ll give it my very best. The sky is the limit and we’ve not had a female only show where she will be heading up a sports show solely on the station. I make that my challenge." Tune in to Radio 2000 every Saturday and Sunday, 3-6pm for The Touchline with Romy Titus. Follow Romy on Social Media: Facebook: @RomyTitus1 Twitter: @romytitus Instagram: @Romytitus

When it comes to prime time television and the South African film Industry, Mishqah Parthiephal has fast become a household name. Mishqah, who plays the role of ‘Vania’ in the most popular Soapie in the country ‘Skeem Saam’ or ‘Kris Laurenson’ in ‘Snake Park’, has just landed a leading role in the much anticipated international cinematic release ‘Keeping Up with The Kandasamys’. Mishqah could not be more privileged to be working with the heavy weights of the film industry – which would not be possible without the association of the National Film and Video Foundation. “I heard there was an audition for a huge feature film in Durban. I knew this was an opportunity i couldn’t miss out on, so i jumped into my car and drove 6 hours from Jhb to DBN for the auditions. I guess I nailed it, because i was offered the role a few weeks later.” Mishqah plays Jodi – “We are very similar in many ways. She’s a strong young woman who isnt afraid to tell people around her what’s in her heart. She’s kind and gentle and very loving.  We are even similar in the way that we dress. We both live in shorts and sneakers! But saying that I can not wait to experience the journey that she will take me through. She has such a beautiful soul, and I can not wait to learn from her.” Mishqah explains. Keeping up with the Kandasamy’s is produced by Helena Spring who is the winner of a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Television Movie, for Yesterday (directed by Darrel Roodt) British Academy Television Award for Best Single Drama for Red Dust. “I think that Keeping up with a Kandasamys is a beautiful story that reflects true Durban Indian culture, I can’t wait for the world to see it.” says Mishqah. The movie will be released in March 2017. Mishqah in the making: Mishqah has a wealth of film experience, having starred in the 2010 epic ‘White Gold” which told the story of how Indians came to South Africa. After Mishqah starred in White Gold, her outstanding performance caused a ripple effect in the film industry and she has subsequently acted in several films that followed. Her most recent film “Paraya” premiered at this years’ Cannes Film Festival. By the looks of things, Mishqah is ready to take on the world, with Keeping Up with Kandasamy’s marking her second international film release at such a young age. When Mishqah isn’t on a film or soapie set, her time is spent shooting TV commercials. You may recognise her from the Nedbank, Varsity College, Discovery, first for women or Perfect Touch advertisements. With such an impressive track record, it’s clear that Mishqah Parthiephal has been making all the right moves – her transition from the ‘Small Screen’ to the ‘Silver Screen’ has been effortless and fluid and we can’t wait to buy a ticket to see her in Keeping Up with the Kandasamys.
