Debtfree DIGI Magazine - July 2016

RED CARPET
It is true that Debt Counsellors and Credit Providers seldom have cause to dress to the nines,
however at the annual Debt Review Awards Gala in Cape Town in June, everyone wanted to
put their best foot forward. Even those consumers who attended to receive their clearance
certificates (which say their debt is now paid up) were looking pretty snazzy. From the NCR, and
NCT, to Consumers and PDAs everyone looked fabulous!
After all the guests had arrived down the red carpet and mingled with the sponsors (and once
the big rugby game had finished) the evening was ready to begin. Mr. Sebastien Alexanderson,
Debt Counsellor and all round funny guy, was the host for the evening and opened the Debt
Review Awards Gala with words about how the Awards process had grown over the years and
now commanded the industry’s participation. He then introduced the first non-speaker of the
night, Mr Steve Barnett the Silent Conductor.
