Kfm 94.5 station manager, Hennie Myburgh beams. "Six phenomenal years of Best of the Cape Awards and the excitement keeps building. This isn’t just an award, it’s a celebration of the soul, the spark and the unstoppable spirit of the communities we live in and serve. The passion pouring out from every corner of the Western Cape is absolutely electrifying, and this year we are inviting our listeners to really rediscover their home, to explore, champion, and unapologetically rave about the local icons and hidden treasures that make this place so spectacular. Let’s light up the Cape like never before."

YOCO, powering this incredible journey for the third year running, shares this commitment wholeheartedly, championing the fearless entrepreneurs and inventive small businesses that are the lifeblood of the Cape.

“The Kfm Best of the Cape Awards celebrates exactly the kind of business Yoco was built for: the café owner, the salon owner, the retailer who built something real and put their name on it. In an increasingly digital world, these businesses are the heart of their communities - the places people return to and remember. They rarely get the recognition they deserve. Putting our name on this award is our way of saying that we see them, we back them, and we built our platform for them. If you know and love one of these businesses, vote for them.” Carl Wazen Yoco co-founder.
