Jacques Arendt – Top 40 Under 40

By

The Top 40 under 40 is a showcase of local business talent under the age of 40 compiled by the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber (NMBBC).

Jacques Arendt (38), is the Station Manager of Bay FM.

Local music in Nelson Mandela Bay got a boost the day Jacques Arendt stepped into the role of station manager at community radio station, Bay FM.

Broadcasting to Nelson Mandela Bay, and the Sundays River and Kouga municipalities, Bay FM aims to provide an alternative blend of English, gospel, R&B and Afrikaans music to people from a variety of different backgrounds.

Arendt is a passionate supporter of local music, and has served as an MTN South African Music Awards judge for the past two years. Married with two young girls, Arendt himself hosts a show every Sunday on Bay FM. His spare time is devoted to hunting, fishing, and spending time with family and friends.

“I’m passionate about my work and our community,” says Arendt, “and I believe that radio can make a difference.”

The Top 40 Under 40 list, an NMBBC initiative, was compiled from nominations and selected by an independent panel at the NMBBC. The end result is a showcase of talented and ambitious young businesspeople from diverse sectors in Nelson Mandela Bay. From 7 December 2011, MyPE showcases one under 40 achiever a day.

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
