Stars Shine for Darren Scott: Join the Benefit Concert
The Benefit for Darren promises to be a night of music, comedy, and community spirit.
After decades behind the mic, legendary South African broadcaster Darren Scott is now in the fight of his life, and he's not doing it alone.
Recently returning to South Africa while battling a vicious bout of skin cancer, Darren's voice may be quieter for now, but the country he entertained for years is raising its own in support. Friends, fans, and fellow entertainers have come together to throw a heartfelt lifeline: a special benefit concert to raise funds for his ongoing treatment.
Set for Wednesday, 14 May at The Venue, Melrose Arc, the Benefit for Darren promises to be a night of music, comedy, and community spirit.
