The Flash Word: Recent Episodes
The Flash Drive with Carl Wastie
It's the game you love!
The Game of wit, intellect and lateral thinking.
It's The Flash Word on the #TheFlashDrive with Carl Wastie & Zoe Brown!
Every weekday on Bizboost, Carl Wastie calls up a small business owner to profile their company on The Flash Drive.
The idea of Ma Se Jar came when owner Robbie Williams’ mother would make food for her co-workers in glass jars.
Robbie thought it was a great idea: It's good for the environment and the jars are reusable.
He now makes healthy homemade food in 500ml glass jars. It's fresh, delicious and affordable.
Ma Se Jar delivers to people within the Southern Suburbs (Rondebosch, Newlands, Kenilworth, Wynberg, etc.) and also to jar pickups so you don't have to go anywhere.
You can contact Ma Se Jar at Masejar20@gmail.com or call Robbie on 076 251 5019
