Percy Sleash SA is one of Pretoria's most promising young individuals in the media space with a few milestones already in the bag. His drive is consistent and talent is as the water flows in the streams.
He had a good upbringing, raised by both his late parents who separated when he was nine years. He's always been energetic and full of life, even in his younger years.
Percy Sleash is currently the breakfast show host at SMU FM in Ga- Rankuwa, Pretoria. He says the main reason he got into radio was because of music
"I was doing music since 2008 & our songs were not being played on radio. After years of submitting with no luck, I then taught myself how to present. It took me less than a year. I then started sending my CV and going for auditions and the love for radio has growth beyond my expectations."
Besides his radio show, Percy is currently focused on his NPO (Generational Hobo Homeless Drive), where he raises funds for the less fortunate living and sleeping in the streets. He has also since adopted a few orphanages and old age homes that he works with.
He believes he can do so much more if given any opportunity. This is something he feels people don't and should know about him. Beyond his talents, he believes the power of connections and networking opens doors and gets you closer to opportunities more than talent alone can.
"People i interact with on radio are the people i do business with and i make connections using the platform i get on radio.
In the same breath, Percy advices anyone with a dream or an idea to start doing it themselves before looking to anyone for help. "Don't wait for anyone to give it to you, first start by doing it yourself. Opportunities will come and find you while you have started."
He finds his strength and motivation from those he holds close and dear and often looks to them as a fuel to his dreams and aspirations."I think of my late Mom and Father. Then my daughter and the fact that no one can really back me up, believe in me or help me if I do not push harder."
To others, It might look like Percy is already where he wants to be. While having been on some big stages as an event MC, getting a role as an extra on Generations and on SABC News, his own radio show and an influence that's able to get people to dig in their pockets and cupboards to make donations.
He on the other side says he's still on his way to making his dreams come to life. This includes his very own radio station.
"My plan is to have my own radio station ( Tswaing Lokshin FM ) Which I have been busy with for the past 6 years. Then get a TV Show that will be focusing on giving spotlight to upcoming talent and more importantly, make Generational Hobo Homeless Drive, one of the biggest organisations in South Africa, this by having it reach everyone in all corners of the country 💙"
