Met lirieke uit die pen van Good Morning Breakfast-aanbieder, Shandor Potgieter, OFM-verkoopsbestuurder, Anchen Lintvelt, en keurige vermenging deur Bobby Johnson van Rebirth Music, laat SOYL se “Bakkie Arm” die voete behoorlik jeuk.

Die vrystelling van die lied, geregistreer aan SOYL (kort vir Sound of Your Life en uitgespreek as “soil”) is nie net nog gesonde pret nie, maar het ook ten doel om meer aandag op ’n dieper saak te vestig.

Die #BakkieArm-mou is gebore uit ’n gereelde insetsel op die ontbytprogram, ‘Woord van die Week’, en het organies so ontwikkel dat daar uiteindelik ’n kledingstuk geskep is om oor die arm van ’n bestuurder te trek om te verhoed dat hul een arm bruiner as die ander brand.

OFM het onlangs die #BakkieArm-veldtog van stapel gestuur om fondse in te samel vir Agri Securitas, ’n nie-winsgewende organisasie wat hulle vir die verbetering van landelike veiligheid beywer.

Die radiostasie het dié organisasie gekies omdat Sentraal Suid-Afrika die hartland van landbou in Suid-Afrika verteenwoordig.

’n #BakkieArm-mou kan teen ’n donasie vanaf R100 elk aangekoop word op OFM se webwerf, deur hierdie skakel te volg: https://bit.ly/OFMBakkieArm. Dit is ook hier waar SOYL – Bakkie Arm gratis afgelaai kan word.

#BakkieArm now also a hit song!

While sales of the OFM # BakkieArm sleeve are steadily progressing for the benefit of the Agri Securitas Trust Fund, The Sound of Your Life also had listeners entertained on the morning of 15 June 2022, with the release of an original song in celebration of the # BakkieArm.

With lyrics from the pen of Good Morning Breakfast presenter, Shandor Potgieter, OFM sales manager, Anchen Lintvelt, and exquisite mixing by Bobby Johnson of Rebirth Music, SOYL's "Bakkie Arm" promises to get feet tapping.

The release of the song, registered under SOYL (pronounced soil – and an acronym of Sound of Your Life) is not only healthy fun, but also aims to draw more attention to a more important cause.

The #BakkieArm sleeve was born from regular inserts on the breakfast show, 'Word of the Week', and has evolved organically to such a point that a garment was fashioned to pull over a driver’s arm to protect it from the sun, so that their one arm does not become more tanned than the other.

OFM recently launched the #BakkieArm campaign to raise funds for Agri Securitas, a non-profit organisation that works to improve rural safety.

The radio station chose this organisation because Central South Africa is the heartland of agriculture in South Africa.

A #BakkieArm sleeve can be purchased for a donation from R100 each on OFM's website, by following this link: https://bit.ly/OFMBakkieArm. This is also where “SOYL – Bakkie Arm” can be downloaded, free of charge.
