Falken is well-known for her dedication to women’s and community issues, constantly creating awareness through her radio show, magazine columns or community involvement.
“When asked about her nomination, Falken says: “I am honoured and flattered, and of course I would like to win, but I don't go on the air to win awards, I do it for the love of it and one of the biggest rewards is being able to help others while I do what I love." But will she really be happy for someone else to win the award? “I honestly feel that I don’t need to win, that just being nominated already places me in the company of great women who work hard and strive for success and then endeavour to give back to their communities.”
“We are extremely proud of Saskia and feel that the nomination is testament to the hard work and passion she has for her profession”, said Gavin Meiring,
