Japanese-American bride, Jessica Rebert and her Zulu prince, Bonga Chiliza's story is quite the romantic fairytale. They met shortly in London and it was love at first sight.

Three years and many round trips later, Bonga was ready to express to Jessie, family and friends, and the rest of the world his love for Jessie. Jessie’s absolute “YES” to his proposal was the commencement of the event planning for the two day “Zulu Japerican” (a term Jessie and Bonga adopted as their future kid’s ethnic makeup) celebration!

Jessica and Bonga selected Life Choices to be on their wedding list and raised  R8, 000!

Originally from Italy, he spent the majority of his life working in the fashion world.

After an early retirement, he started doing volunteer work in Europe and Africa. Gerardo volunteered with Life Choices in 2008 and has returned in 2013.

He says “Life Choices is unique; their commitment to continuously improve their work standards is inspiring.”

He donated his 52nd Birthday to Life Choices and raised R 5,000.

Originally from Johannesburg, Marco moved to Cape Town in 2015 and now plays as Tim du Plooy in Suidooster on Kyknet.

In 2017, he joined the Kyknet team to take part in the Cape Town Cycle Tour and wanted to ride for a good cause. It was here that he was introduced to Life Choices through our board member Danilo Aquisto.

“Life Choices to me isn't about charity but about service and equipping communities to make better decisions through workshops, counseling, and training. You leave people better than you found them. I'm honored to know this kind hearted family as they continue to change people's lives.”

Through fundraising for the Cycle Tour he was able to raise R7300 for Life Choices.
