Marcelle Meiring

Marcelle Meiring was born on the island and has also lived in South Africa for a while, studying in the Cape. After finishing his studies, Marcelle moved back to the island and jumped into the business world, opening an events company called Excel Events.

One of their key focuses is the promotion of the "not so popular" sports on the island, getting more people interested in playing and being a part of the various sports disciplines. One such event is taking place this coming November.
