If you were in her shoes, would you move in—or walk away?

Since Sunday, 26 July, the continent’s attention has turned to Morocco, where the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations is officially underway. The tournament has already produced its fair share of excitement, and last night it was South Africa’s turn to get its campaign underway. Banyana Banyana, the defending champions, suffered a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Tanzania in their Group B opener; a result that few would have predicted, but one that certainly doesn’t put an end to their title defence. So, what exactly went wrong for Banyana last night? Were there tactical errors, lapses in execution, or simply a case of Tanzania taking their chances better? And perhaps more importantly, what needs to change before South Africa’s next outing? Football analyst Sizwe Mbebe joins us now to unpack the performance and assess whether Banyana Banyana can still mount a strong campaign.

What began with a delayed appearance after falling ill has become one of the Madlanga Commission’s most dramatic moments. Last week, Advocate Andrea Johnson, until yesterday the head of the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption, faced hours of relentless questioning as commissioners scrutinised her decisions and challenged parts of her evidence. Then came another dramatic twist: last night she resigned with immediate effect, and earlier today President Cyril Ramaphosa accepted her resignation, and today she returned to the witness stand to continue testifying under oath. So, what do we make of these extraordinary developments? To help us unpack them, we’re joined by Eyewitness News reporter Thabiso Goba, who’s been covering the commission closely.

For many motorists, taking a car in for a simple service can quickly turn into a stressful and expensive experience. You budget for one issue, only to be told there are three more problems that need urgent attention. While some repairs are legitimate, many drivers feel pressured, confused, or even manipulated because they don’t fully understand what’s happening under the bonnet.
So how can motorists protect themselves from unnecessary repairs, spot red flags, and avoid being taken for a ride at the workshop?

Most drivers remember the pressure of their driver’s licence test — checking tyres, lights, indicators, oil, and making sure the car was roadworthy before even turning the key.
But once we get our licences, many of those safety habits slowly disappear. The reality is that regular vehicle safety checks can prevent breakdowns, accidents, and costly repairs, yet a lot of motorists only pay attention when something goes wrong. So how often should drivers actually inspect their vehicles, and what are the essential checks people should never overlook?

It also raises a tough question: when a parent loses access, is it always about the child’s best interests — or unresolved bitterness between adults?

Financial infidelity is becoming just as damaging as romantic cheating in many relationships—hidden debt, secret spending, gambling, or lying about money can completely break trust.
While romantic affairs are openly discussed, being “cheated on financially” is something many people suffer through in silence. For some couples, money secrets create more long-term damage than emotional or physical betrayal.

While officials continue to emphasize that the overall risk to the public remains low, its appearance here is significant precisely because it is so uncommon, forcing a closer look at how it spreads, how prepared our health systems are to respond, and how South Africans should interpret the risk without slipping into panic. At a time when public trust in health communication is critical, understanding what this virus is, and what it isn’t becomes just as important as the numbers themselves, which is why we’re now joined by Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, Minister of Health to help unpack the facts and the broader implications

Amahle Jaxx joins us to unpack a big question around youth participation in South Africa’s elections.
Voting registrations are now open for the upcoming municipal elections and other local polls. Anyone aged 16 and older can register — although you can only vote once you turn 18. If you haven’t registered yet, you can do it online at registertovote.elections.org.za.
But let’s be honest — young people are still not showing up to register or vote the way many hoped they would. At the same time, political parties and campaigns are flooding social media, from TikTok to Instagram Reels, trying to grab the attention of younger audiences.
So is it actually working? Are young people engaging with political content online, or are they still largely checked out of the political process?
Amahle Jaxx is a social media commentator and political educator who closely tracks what young people are watching, sharing and engaging with online — and she joins us to help unpack whether digital campaigning is really making a difference.

South Africa’s streaming landscape just got shook. After nearly a decade of trying to compete with global giants like Netflix and Disney+, Showmax is reportedly shutting down.
Launched in 2015 by MultiChoice, Showmax aimed to be Africa’s answer to streaming, producing popular local shows and expanding into dozens of African countries. But despite relaunches, partnerships, and investment in local content, the platform struggled to keep up with international competitors — and the costs of content, technology, and marketing reportedly became too high to sustain.
To help us make sense of what this means for subscribers, local content creators, and the future of streaming in Africa, we’re joined by Jan Vermeulen, Editor-in-Chief of MyBroadband, who has been covering this story closely.
In this episode, we dig into:
Why Showmax, once a local streaming hope, couldn’t survive the global streaming wars
What happens to all the local shows and African productions it supported
How MultiChoice’s strategy might shift moving forward
The future of streaming for South African audiences
Whether you’re a Showmax subscriber, a content creator, or just curious about the streaming industry in South Africa, this conversation is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.

With Naked’s latest data showing that 3 out of every 4 first-time insurance buyers are opting for second-hand wheels, it’s more important than ever to know what you’re getting into. Kumbi M shares his personal "war stories" and expert insights on why checking a car’s mileage is just the beginning. We dive into the importance of a car’s "digital footprint," how to navigate insurance implications, and the secret tricks to spotting hidden damage or a "rebuilt" car that looks a little too good to be true. Whether you’re a seasoned driver or a first-timer, this is the essential toolkit for making a smart, safe, and savvy purchase.

It’s a conversation that every woman, and anyone who cares about one needs to hear. On this episode of Drive with Thando, we are joined by world-renowned menstrual health activist and public speaker, Candice Chirwa.
Following a concerning study that found hormone-disrupting toxins in menstrual products sold right here in South Africa, Candice sheds light on what this actually means for our bodies. We explore the impact these chemicals have on long-term health, the urgent need for better government regulation, and why the "convenience" of disposables might come at a hidden cost. From discussing safer alternatives like menstrual cups to demanding more transparent research, this interview is a vital wake-up call. It’s time to take control of our health and start asking the tough questions about the products we trust most.

Today is Budget Speech day, which basically decides how much more expensive life could get… or hopefully, how much relief is coming. From taxes and fuel to grants and government spending, this is the moment that shapes what we all pay and what we get back.
Taxes & Fuel: “Were there any major changes to personal income tax or VAT, and what does that mean for everyday South Africans?”
Social Grants: “Did the government announce any increases to social grants, and who will benefit the most?”
Government Spending Priorities: “Which sectors or projects is the government focusing on this year, and are there any big surprises?”
Economic Relief: “Were there measures to ease the cost of living, especially for things like fuel, electricity, or basic goods?”
Impact on Households: “Looking at the overall picture, do you think the budget offers relief for ordinary South Africans, or will it mostly benefit businesses and investors?”

TROUBLE FRIEND OVER VACTION
My best friend and I just went on vacation together and while I thought the trip would be fun and bring us closer together, the exact opposite happened. Because my friend was super busy with work, once we agreed on a destination, she told me to just plan the whole thing, which I spent many hours doing. But once we got there, she couldn’t stop criticising and complaining about every choice I made.
I tried to just suck it up but finally on the last day, when she talked about how much better the trip would have been if she planned it, I blew up and called her ungrateful for not being thankful for all the work I put into it. She eventually apologized, but I’m having a hard time getting passed it. Should I just accept her apology and move on? Am I wrong for holding on to this grudge?
