The International Speech
contest was something out of the ordinary for everyone at the Breakfast
Club.
The engaging and exciting contest
was held online, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Four phenomenal speakers brought their A-game and blew us away with
their speeches. They were: Gideon Louw, Marc Burgess, Nerisa Shiri Mnemba
and Vuyokazi Ntsangani.
Toastmaster Vuyokazi Ntsangani took
the first prize with her speech titled: "It's just a lie", a speech
that touched hearts and really hit home for many of us. Congratulations Vuyo!
The contest was hosted by contest chair Roxanne
Rhode and judged by an expert panel of judges headed by chief judge, Cheryll
Wright.
For a first time online contest, it worked
like a well-oiled machine. What else did
you expect with Zoommaster Jazzmin Hecht at the steering wheel?
The enthusiastic participation of Club
members is testimony to the supporting network in the Club. Congratulations to
all four contestants, you did us proud and are a true inspiration to the rest
of us!
Thank you and well done to each and every
one who took on a role and making it happen. Superb Club effort indeed!
The first and second place winners Vuyokazi
Ntsangani and Nerisa Mnemba will now go onto represent the Club at the Area
D3 Contest on 31 March 2021 at 6:30pm.
The Breakfast Club meets every Wednesday
at 7:15 till 9:00am. The Club’s activities were shifted to the online platform
in the 2020-21 term to maintain Covid-19 protocols.
