In 2007 Abi was offered the weekend overnight show on East Coast Radio and her dream to reach an FM audience was realised! She has since moved from the weekend to weekday radio and hosts The Pulse Monday to Friday 6 - 9pm.

In the meantime, Abi was nominated to represent MTN as a Y'ello Rose Ambassador for 2011/2012 - she, along with another 9 women in the radio industry, were given R100 000 to "pay forward" to a charity of their choice. Abi decided that The Open Door Crisis Care Centre in Pinetown was a worthy charity and gave them the entire amount. They have since upgraded some of their facilities and were absolutely grateful to have been chosen.

Abi was also nominated by the Durban Youth Council as a Phenomenal Woman of 2012 - recognised as being an empowered and caring woman.

In 2012 and 2013 Abi was responsible for putting together a swimming team to represent East Coast Radio at the aQuelle Midmar Mile; and in 2013 decided that she would raise funds for The Pink Drive in her Midmar Mile campaign. She raised R12 000 and did two miles as a consequence.

Abi Ray is a breath of fresh air to her listeners as well as to her friends and family. She loves staying fit, scuba diving, her two sausage dogs, and seeing others happy.

I feel completely proud to be the ambassador for PEUGEOT PINETOWN. To top that all off, the staff have been wonderful, they are friendly and warm and have

welcomed me into their PEUGEOT PINETOWN family. I love getting to know people and surrounding myself with people who are real and who I can relate to, so I am blessed to be associated with PEUGEOT PINETOWN, and to be driving such a sassy and sporty, feature filled car.

1. What do women want from the Peugeot 208 GTiWomen want a small, sassy car with attitude. A car that's easy and extremely comfortable to drive.

2. Can the 208 GTi restore Peugeot's hot-hatch machismo?Yes, the 208 GTi has been designed to reignite the suave characteristics of the iconic 205 GTi.

3. From the outside, the 208 GTi is a feast of curves now tell us about "the ooh-la-la interior " that the ladies are going to love? The stitching runs over the enveloping seats, the full grain leather steering wheel & handbrake lever. The dials are surrounded with satin chrome beads backlit by LED’s, whereas the needles move on a brushed aluminium background.

4. What does the GTi have that is unique over its competitors?The 5 Year Premium Plan (5 Year/60000km Maintenance & Service Plan with 3 Year/100000km Warranty and Roadside Assitance)Self Park Assist.

5. The latest Peugeot hot hatch is a fast and feature-packed all-rounder. Which features appeals most to women?The feature that appeals mostly to women is definitely the park assist!Why park yourself when the car can do it for you, perfectly, first time? Just Brilliant!

6. At first sight, the eyes focus on a presence, a car that asserts its identity: sporty and sophisticated. The bodywork is undeniably sporty! What’s it like to drive?

It's an absolute DREAM to drive. You are seated snugly, with the adjustable steering wheel situated exactly where you want it; with the gear lever a comfortable drop of the arm away. The car responds as soon as you put your foot down, in every gear. At night the lights follow your every move in the road. Having someone else's bright lights on behind you have no effect on your diving whatsoever due to the electromagnetic rearview mirror - it's one of my favourite features.

7.This is a safer GTi. What are the great safety features?ABS with EBD (Electronic Brake Force Distribution), ESP (Electronic Stability Program), 6 Airbags and Euro NCap5 Safety Rating.

your world and the belief you have deep within that you can achieve anything you set your heart on. . You are as powerful as you believe yourself to be.

Self reflection - How do I define happiness? What areas in my life do I want to succeed in? How do I get to the stage I want to be at? What are my goals in life? Where do I want to be in 5 years? What kind of balance do I need in my life? These self-reflection questions open the door to discovering your true power. As an empowered woman, evaluate them regularly and put your dreams, wants and needs into perspective.

"Nothing is impossible. The word itself says I'm possible." - Audrey Hepburn

Support other women - The sisterhood that is inherent in women's bonds is incredible. The way women connect, share joy and pain and relate to each other is highly influential. Your appreciation of other women's hopes, aspirations and struggles is part of what makes you a woman. All women share these difficulties in life on different levels.

So take pride in supporting other woman and know that you are never alone. When you help others, you help yourself. Open your heart to other women and they will open their hearts to you. What an empowering act.

Respect yourself - When you have self respect, you unconditionally love yourself. You love yourself for who you are and, more importantly, for who you are not. You take pride in yourself and value yourself enough to set boundaries based on your values and principles. By honouring yourself and treating yourself with respect, you set the stage for others to treat you with respect.

"It doesn't matter who you are, or where you came from. The ability to triumph begins with you. Always." - Oprah Winfrey

Live your authentic life!

Being empowered is the process of developing and utilizing the power that is already within you. You become the creator of your own life experiences. This begins with knowing who you are, what you want in life and knowing how to get it. It defines our uniqueness and provides an exceptional empowered feeling.

Every woman has the ability to take charge of her life with grace, strength and confidence – including you. The power to be happy and fulfilled lies in your hands. To get you started on the path to empowerment, we share some essential tips.

Live with purpose - Every single one of us was born with a purpose in being here. An empowered woman discovers her purpose in life and uses it to manifest her greatness. No day is meaningless or wasted when she lives her purpose. She remains inspired and motivated with greater meaning and a sense of belonging in all that she does. Discovering your life purpose allows you to be the woman you are truly meant to be.

Make your own choices - A woman who makes her own decisions that she believes in and that are in her best interest, regardless of social norms or family pressure, is truly empowered. It means that she is true to herself and her needs. She acknowledges that embracing this power comes with consequences, which she braves with dignity and integrity.

Believe in yourself - Empowerment stems from an inner strength all women possess, and aspire to continually cultivate. Your power as a woman is derived from opportunities you see in

It’s the tastiest date on the South African foodie calendar and an event where trends are born. The new look Good Food & Wine Show comes to Durban from August 8 to 11 and is bang on with what’s hot and fabulous in food and cooking fashions.

Celebrity chefs appearing at the Durban show this year are TV personality James Martin who is a regular face on South African television; Vivek Singh of London’s Cinnamon Club who has transformed the face of Indian cooking; Anjali Pathak, an exciting talent in the Indian food and spice arena and part of the famous Patak spice family and the award-winning vegan baker Mellissa Morgan who is known to her legions of fans around the world as Ms Cupcake.

Two of South Africa’s most popular chefs Jenny Morris and Benny Masekwameng – who both have a great affinity with Durban – will also be appearing at the show.

James Martin is now arguably the premier foodie on British television. However, the York-shireman is down-to-earth, particularly when it comes to getting people into the kitchen and cooking: "People sometimes get so wrapped up about the detail of cooking. To me, it should really be the whole package. Cooking should be about great food with good people. I’m delighted to be coming to Durban and can’t wait to meet visitors to the show.”

Vivek Singh’s award-winning food has estab-lished The Cinnamon Club as probably the most famous Indian restaurant in the world. Vivek is also one of the most articulate Indian chefs of his generation. He explains his concept of Indian food: “In my experience of cooking Indian cuisine, I have come across numerous examples of authenticity as a reason for not doing things rather than trying something different. I wanted to free Indian food from the strait-jacket of tradition and, in order to do so, it was important to push the perceived boundaries beyond what was considered to be authentic.”

Says Anjali Pathak: “I have learnt most of what I know about Indian cooking from my family

and professional Indian chefs across the world. I have travelled around most of India trying to absorb the nuances of regional cuisines. For me this does not just relate to Indian cuisine, but to cooking in general, and so I decided to study at Leiths School of Food and Wine in Lon-don. Some may say what does an Indian chef need to learn British and French cooking for?! But I love bridging the gap between traditional Indian and contemporary international cuisine.”

Larger-than-life Ms Cupcake is out to show visitors to the show that everybody can eat cake, regardless of allergies: "Everybody deserves great cake. It is my job to create indulgent and decadent cakes for them regard-less of what they can, and cannot eat. I want to bring ‘free from’ cake to the masses. My team and I do this through baking incredible cakes, raising the profile of a vegan diet and educat-ing people on how they can create ‘free from’ cakes for themselves."

MasterChef South Africa judge Masekwameng has a great relationship with Kwa-Zulu Natal and Durban in particular. The popular chef, who has captured the hearts of South African television views with his wide and warm smile and who has become something of a national treasure, studied catering management at the then Natal Technikon. He also met his wife in the city. Morris – known to her legions of fans countrywide as The Giggling Gourmet - was born in the city.

All the visiting chefs will be staying at Durban’s brightest star on the Golden Mile, the Southern Sun Elangeni & Maharani.

Locally sourced food and children’s nutrition are the leading trends in 2013. The Good Food & Wine Show is bang up-to-date with these global predictions. It will present two new theatres in Durban this year – the Little Chefs Kitchen and The Real Food Theatre, a fully inter-active experience covering sustainability and home grown produce.

Tickets cost R75 for adults for R40 for children. This includes more free theatres than ever before. www.goodfoodandwineshow.co.za
