His winning combination of puppetry, ventriloquism, and satire have been delighting audiences for several years now, of course, alongside his trusty companion Chester Missing.

Doctor's surgery: Tackling eye-related issues
16 January 2021 7:15 AM
They say that the eyes are the 'window' to the soul, but too often, we neglect eye health until we notice something wrong. Most adults do not get medical eye exams as often as recommended to keep their eyes healthy and identify problems. In fact, a study shows that 64 percent had some level of impairment before they made that appointment with an ophthalmologist. Dr. Junet van der Merwe from the Advanced Durbanville Eye Clinic joins Sara-Jayne to discuss eye-related problems.
