Galleria Mall has been giving listeners a chance to win a share of R50,000 with their ‘Pay It Forward’ campaign.for almost four weeks - for a friend, a family member or someone in their community who is in need. This is a truly heart-warming campaign. Some of the winners who were rewarded with the spend at the mall really touched our hearts. The team at Galleria Mall have been so gracious as to give us R14.000 (R7,000 each) to pay forward to someone we know personally.For JSbu, the individual he would love to nominate is Chynah Wonderful Roy. Chynah has been struggling to raise funds to represent South Africa in Portugal for the Miss Teen Universe competition, so hopefully this goes a long way in helping a young black girl achieve her dreams.

Chynah's mom approached JSbu at the mall one Saturday morning and shared Chynah's story. JSbu was so inspired by her story and passion to want to help her daughter that he kept her contact details. The Galleria Mall 'Pay It Forward' Campaign came at the perfect time!
