SABC3 news anchor Mahendra Raghunath will be sharing his secret passion on
Top Billing this week when he takes to the Kyalami race track in Michael Schumacher's old Formula One car.
Apparently motor racing has been Mahendra's passion "through school, his drama degree, teaching and entire news career", according to
the Top Billing website.
Mahendra Raghunath: the new Lewis Hamilton? We were skeptical, as the thought of Mahendra's coiffure enduring 80 laps stuffed into a crash helmet was too bizarre to contemplate.
But we received an email from the man himself in which he cleared it up:
"It’s absolutely true. Seeing is believing", he wrote.
To see it - and believe it - tune into Top Billing this Thursday (28 June) on SABC3, at 19h30.
