Garda has accomplished a series of 'special assignments', from his presence on SAfm where he can be heard hosting current affairs talk shows and presenting a media and marketing show, as well as anchoring sport. And that's not all; Garda was used regularly on CNN, Al Jazeera and CBC Canada during the 2010 FIFA World Cup, where he provided analysis on Brand SA, the socio-political state of the country and Africa's best hope. In a typical week he could be putting questions to Moeletsi Mbeki, Joe Thloloe, Makhaya Ntini, MCing a business function or judging an agency awards event - he is that versatile!

Garda is thrilled at being able to stamp his mark on the Special Assignment show. And what is that mark? His on-air persona has been described as authoritative, objective, balanced, driven, pacy and blunt, and to top it all, he asks great questions!

Garda is a skilled interviewer and accomplished MC. He can also be described as a social networking activist. He is driven by his mantra, "Never Bored, Never Boring", which means expectations will be raised in the new Special Assignment.
