Each day a buzzword is announced, and 5 questions are asked to a listener, all of which will contain the buzzword
He learned Shakespeare before the streets learned his face, Carried a revolutionary inheritance into microphones, courtrooms and movie sets, Then became more difficult to bury than almost anyone in pop culture.
There are certain sentences that instantly change a South African’s mood. “Your licence disc has expired.” “There is no electricity.” And the final boss of government admin: “Sorry, the system is offline.” That one sentence has ended lunch breaks, destroyed leave days and sent grown adults back into society carrying nothing but a reference number and emotional damage. Now Home Affairs has launched a plan to strengthen the technology running its offices, with the goal of keeping its systems stable, secure and—brace yourself—actually available.
He was orphaned twice: once by fate, once by responsibility, Now he hangs between childhood and consequence by a single thread, Forever saving strangers because he once failed someone at home.
This morning on 5 Breakfast, I’m joined by renowned journalist, producer and presenter Busisiwe Gumede-Chizhanje, the host of the new SABC 2 series Kasi To Kasi. Now, local government is one of those things we all talk about when something goes wrong — when the water is off, the lights are out, the roads are a mess, or nobody knows who is supposed to fix what. But Kasi To Kasi takes that conversation out of the complaint section and into real communities, showing how municipalities shape everyday life in South Africa.
The series looks at authentic community voices, real municipal projects, responsible citizenship, public participation and what best-practice service delivery can actually look like when municipalities, communities and stakeholders work together. It runs for 26 weeks and visits municipalities including Emfuleni, Rustenburg, Emalahleni, Moses Kotane and Govan Mbeki.

Young South Africans are using credit more strategically than previous generations. Credit cards, personal loans and revolving credit are being used to manage everyday finances, build credit profiles and, in some cases, support longer-term asset building. Their credit behaviour becomes more structured as they get older.
Craig Lucas is back with “Joyride”, his first release of 2026, and this one feels like a proper shift in energy. After years of trying to figure out where he fits in the South African music landscape, Craig says he’s reached a point where he’s less obsessed with the destination and more interested in enjoying the ride. The song is warm, nostalgic, simple on purpose, and built around this idea of freedom; not necessarily forever love, but the kind of right-now feeling where you stop overthinking long enough to actually feel something.
So in this first part of the conversation, I want to get into the emotional engine of the song: the freedom, the vulnerability, the pop energy, and what it means to show up as you are; not as the perfect version of yourself, and still ask someone to come along for the ride.
He was rejected alone, then assembled into a global compass, Escaped the formation without ever losing the screaming directions, And built a private home where the whole world somehow moved in.
After recent allegations of racism and violence at South African school sporting events, Nick Hamman asks listeners whether they have experienced racism while participating in school sport. Listeners share personal stories from rugby, cricket, hockey and other school activities, reflecting on how these experiences shaped them and whether enough is being done to address discrimination in youth sport.
When did school rugby become Fight Club with homework?
Over the weekend, two South African school rugby matches were called off under very different but equally disturbing circumstances: one after a mass brawl involving players, parents and spectators, and another after an alleged racial slur was heard during play.
These are supposed to be children playing sport. Instead, the adults appear to have arrived carrying unresolved trauma, provincial pride and the emotional regulation of a WhatsApp family group during Christmas.
BUZZWORD: TICK
Each day a buzzword is announced, and 5 questions are asked to a listener, all of which will contain the buzzword.
Bruno Mars audio only concert experience - he’s launched a set of concert tickets that have no view of the performance, but are an audio only experience. In the BACK of the stadium.
Is there an artist alive or dead you would happily pay money to listen to, without seeing on stage?

At the beginning of the semester, it’s high fashion. But by the time we get to exams, everyone is in hoodies and sweat pants.
Before stadium lights or golden gramphones ever framed his crown, he stepped through local talent searches as a child in Atlanta, honing vocal runs long before the world hailed him as the King of R&B.
We’ve teamed up with the Youth’s Biggest Cheerleader, Standard Bank, to get expert opinions about questions you need answering, and today, we’re focusing on “Insurance and Investments” with Zandile Makhoba (Research & Insights Lead at Liberty) and Thopi Mholi (Head of Savings & Investments at Standard Bank)
Trained in rhythmic leaps before the camera’s lens ever found him, he bounded across West End boards in ballet shoes long before the world knew his name. Who is this celebrity?
We are seeing a lot of excuses coming up at Madlanga at the moment. If you are a boss, let us know whether you would accept these excuses.
Two massive AI data centres have been greenlit to be built in the Western Cape. 120,000 square meters, approximately the size of 17 full-sized soccer fields placed side by side. This has also raised concerns about the heavy draw on water and electricity that they will require - water that Cape Town, not too long ago, did not have much of.
We’ve teamed up with the Youth’s Biggest Cheerleader, Standard Bank, to get expert opinion about questions you need answering, and today, we’re focusing on home loans.
What are some of your strategies for extracting yourself from your phone?
Following a conversation about consciously disconnecting from our phones, Mike V uncovers a surprising fact: acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan, whose latest film The Odyssey is already breaking records, doesn't own a mobile phone. It sparks a conversation about our dependence on technology and asks whether living without a phone is liberating, unrealistic, or something worth trying.
On the back of our conversation about intentionally disengaging ourselves from our phones, Mike V makes the discovery that world-famous director, who’s latest movie The Odyssey is breaking records, Christopher Nolan does not own a phone.
Born where East Anglian skies meet ancient roads, raised on rave rhythms sent through copper wires, She spun neon fantasies under warehouse lights before the world ever learned her name, Until early digital whispers transformed an Essex teenager into a global pop architect.
This Monday Motivation celebrates South Africa's incredible performances at the Commonwealth Games. From Pieter Coetzé's record-breaking gold medals and Chad le Clos extending his legacy as the Games' most decorated athlete, to Nathan Hendricks' para-swimming triumph, relay medals and the Spar Proteas' unbeaten run, it's a reminder that South Africans continue to compete and win on the world stage.

Mike V chats about being able to be off his phone this past week.
Sweden is officially trading screens and tablets for physical books and handwriting to reverse a decline in reading skills. Once at the forefront of hyper-digitalized learning, Sweden is engineering a
dramatic pivot back to the basics in its classrooms. Concerned that an overreliance on digital tablets and screens has eroded reading comprehension and foundational writing skills, Swedish education
officials are investing heavily in traditional printed textbooks. The national strategy aims to phase out digital devices for children under the age of six entirely, following a drop in international reading assessment scores.
Experts point out that while technology was championed to level the playing field, its unrestricted use has instead led to shorter attention spans and reduced retention among younger learners.
From hidden government cover-ups to unexplained mysteries, conspiracy theories have fascinated people for generations. Mike V asks listeners to share the conspiracy theory they sincerely believe is true, what convinced them, and whether they've ever managed to change someone else's mind or had their own mind changed.
It’s Monday; which means it’s time to stretch your money mindset on Money Mondays with
Xoli Zondo and Thuli Magubane.
So Xoli asked the Money Babies:
What are the do’s and don’ts when filing your tax returns?
What is a simple task that you have been procrastinating? and How long have you been procrastinating doing it? How long will it realistically take?
It’s 10 years of the movie La La Land this year. At the time of its release, Ryan Gosling was teased for his strangely flat hand on the iconic poster. 10 years on and Lionsgate has finally rereleased the poster in time afor its 10 the anniversary re-release. It was probably quite a quick fix. Why did they wait so long to do this?
Earlier this week, on Bet You Can’t Find, we asked whether you knew someone who was living a secret life. “Zoe” [also not her real name] was around 15 years old when she discovered that her father had been living another life outside of their family. Today, Zoe says she is not angry, bitter or heartbroken about it. Some of her siblings no longer have a relationship with their dad, but Zoe sees the situation differently.
And then comes the part of her story that makes everything even more
complicated. Zoe is now in a four-year relationship with a married man.
Youth Redefining the Car Market: Financially cautious buyers prioritise value and affordability. Cars as a necessity, not a luxury. Affordability as a key factor shaping buying decisions. The rise of value-for-money brands and the rapid growth of Chinese brands such as Chery and GWM Young people’s focus on affordability, sustainability and smart borrowing.
School sport can be one of the best parts of growing up. It can teach confidence, discipline, teamwork and how to get back up after life absolutely cooks you on a random Tuesday.
But for some young athletes, sport stops being something they love and starts becoming the thing their entire identity, future and self-worth seem to depend on.
Between parents, coaches, schools, scholarships, selection and the pressure to become “the next big thing”, are we sometimes asking children to carry professional-level expectations before they have even finished growing up? +Joining us in studio is Registered Counsellor and Student Wellness Services Manager at Emeris, Demi Rae Snyman.
She abandoned the business of selling other people’s visions, Built a private cathedral from keys she taught herself to command, Then became most recognisable while haunting somebody else’s doorway
There is owning a car because you love cars...and then there is owning a car because your life is currently being held hostage by the sentence: “Unfortunately, we don’t go that side.” Because in South Africa, getting somewhere is not always just about distance. It is about whether transport is available.
He turned somebody else’s mistake into an identity, Then poured a twenty-year-old memory into a frontier glass, Until the entire world counted backwards while moving forward.
Yesterday, on Bet You Can’t Find, we went looking for somebody living a double life or somebody who knew one. We received a lot of responses. But one message stopped us.
The woman who sent it did not say she had discovered someone’s secret life. She said she is part of it. For almost ten years, she has been in a relationship with a man whose family and household apparently know nothing about her.
This is not, according to her, a casual arrangement built around the occasional secret message. They travel together. They fly together. She joins him when his professional sporting commitments take him away. And when the phone rings from home, she goes quiet. She knows about them. They do not know about her.
We are calling her Patricia. That is not her real name, and we will protect any details that could identify her, the man involved or either family. Patricia, thank you for trusting us with this conversation.

Thabo trolls the deepest darkest recesses of the internet for the most jaw dropping headlines and omits a word or two from the title which the team and listeners then have to guess.

BUZZWORD: ODE
Each day a buzzword is announced, and 5 questions are asked to a listener, all of which will contain
the buzzword.
Last Wednesday, for Drink Spiking Awareness Day, we opened this conversation through Bet You Can’t Find. And what came back from you was not just a collection of stories. It was a pattern. People who believed something had happened to them, but never reported it. Friends who watched
someone become disoriented far too quickly, but did not know what to do. And one very uncomfortable truth: drink spiking does not only happen in packed clubs or at massive festivals.
So this morning, we are following that conversation further. Not to frighten anyone. Not to deliver a lecture before your next night out. But to understand what the risk actually looks like, why so much of it goes unreported, and what friends, venues and event organisers can do before something goes wrong.
Joining us is Peach Piche, also known as Peach Olive, the founder of
Drinkerbell. Peach, good morning and welcome to 5 Breakfast.

He moves like the blueprint was lost before construction began, Looks exhausted while manufacturing somebody else’s emergency, And built a throne from victories experts kept calling accidents.”
Tomorrow is Mandela Day, and while a lot of people will be asking, “What can
I do with my 67 minutes?”, we’ve got a slightly louder answer for you. Guitars. Drums. Big hearts. And probably at least one person in the crowd pretending they know every lyric.
Tomorrow night is MandelPalooza -our fundraising event in support of Baby Sacha and her family happening at Bailey’s in Bedfordview, with Shortstraw, Black Cat Bones and CrashCarBurn all on the lineup.
And because we are nothing if not committed to making Friday morning feel like a backstage pass, we’ve got some of the humans responsible for the noise, the gees and the goodness in studio with us this morning. From Shortstraw and Black Cat Bones, welcome to 5 Breakfast. We’re going to talk about tomorrow night, why the bands jumped in, what people can expect, and because they didn’t come here just to sit in chairs and be emotionally available; they’ll also be performing for us live in studio.
So, coffee up, volume up. MandelPalooza starts early this morning.

Introducing the Youth Barometer from Standard Bank – the youth’s biggest cheerleader and 5FM. Powered by real stories, real insights and real conversations.
Last Friday, we spoke to Sam and Daniel; Baby Sacha’s parents and I think anyone who heard that conversation will understand exactly why this matters. Because MandelaPalooza isn’t just another gig on the calendar. It’s not just a “pull through, there’ll be bands” kind of thing.
He built a kingdom where silence was considered suspicious, Then abandoned the public road for a private constellation, Yet his sharpest weapon was never noise, it was the question after it. He frightened rulebooks into early retirement, Made breakfast tables feel like scenes requiring parental guidance, And was eventually paid a small country’s fortune to orbit above censorship.
Technology leader Vukosi Sambo joins 5 Breakfast to discuss South Africa's AI future, from healthcare and local innovation to the future of work, responsible AI adoption, and why it's important for South Africa to build AI solutions that reflect local needs.

He came from Welsh steel country, carrying piano music in one hand and other people’s souls in the other. With barely a raised voice, he has played monsters, monarchs and men whose memories quietly betray them. Who is this knighted shape-shifter whose calm can feel more dangerous than shouting?

Today’s mystery celebrity could be a teen dance captain, an award-winning narrator or the youngest executive in a family dynasty. Strangely, every disguise fits: she has moved from accidental chart history to deliberate command of stages, screens and even piano keys. Her childhood has less resembled growing up than a carefully expanding franchise.”
Nick Hamman asks listeners to share stories about the interests, hobbies, or personality traits they were teased for at school but chose to pursue anyway. From creative arts to broadcasting and entrepreneurship, the conversation celebrates embracing what makes you different.

when someone famous gets into serious legal trouble, should the internet help pay their lawyers... or should the internet say, “Respectfully, my banking app is closed”?
Because that’s the drama around Peet Viljoen, husband of reality TV personality and businesswoman Mel Viljoen. A crowdfunding campaign was launched to raise R400,000 for his legal fees. Then BackaBuddy came through like the bouncer at the club and shut the whole thing down. Donations are reportedly being refunded.
Kgosiotsile Nkoane - content creator, podcaster, TV personality, and part of the Mzansi’s Greatest Family crew, he co-hosts Daddy’s Class with his dad, radio veteran Tazman Nkoane, and now he’s stepping into a fresh SABC1 reality series called Beats For My Peeps.

Today’s mystery figure could fool you into sounding out a courtroom heavyweight, a business-school dean with anger issues, or the hero of a prestige action series set in government corridors.

She changed a name before she changed a room, then kept slipping between microphones, cameras, and boardrooms like one lane was never enough. Part screen siren, part hook specialist, part reinvention artist, she made early-2000s cool feel glossy and bilingual without announcing the lesson. Who is this Jersey-born shapeshifter with rhythm, range, and a professionally strategic glow-up?”
Throughout Mandela Month, Slegs Afrikaans is inviting listeners to learn South Africa's national anthem one verse at a time.

She was once treated like a footnote in someone else’s fairy tale, then outlasted the script and walked into the crown anyway. Part country-house whisper, part tabloid weather system, she turned scandal’s shadow into ceremonial daylight. Who is this late-blooming sovereign who won by surviving the long game?
Aldu Cornelissen, co-founder of Murmur Intelligence, discusses how anti-migrant sentiment has evolved through online narratives, community groups, hashtags, and viral claims. The conversation explores how these digital ecosystems can influence public mobilisation, the role of media literacy, and why it's important to question the content we consume and share online.

He talks like a man who swallowed a video store whole and came out quoting blood, vinyl and B-movies.

Who is this fast-talking curator of chaos with side-hustle actor energy?”
He might sound like a courtroom man now, but he began closer to sheet music than statute books. Later he defended the awkward, prosecuted the guilty, and eventually inherited the loudest house in British politics. Who is this former flautist who turned legal precision into national leadership?

Today’s mystery celebrity could fool you into sounding out a retired drag racer, a rock-documentary obsessive, or the quiet billionaire uncle of digital magic. But the real answer is a filmmaker whose side quests changed cinema almost as much as his main quest did. He did not just create worlds; he redesigned the factory that makes them.
“He came up selling small things before he learned to control very large ones. Part township cashier, part silent auditor, he now balances chaos with a face so calm it almost looks expensive. Then one old yellow receipt nearly made him the country’s favourite suspect.”
The 5 Breakfast team battles it out in a game to see who remembers what happened this week.
A listener casually mentioned that she goes to Polokwane 20 to 30 times a week, sending some people into full detective mode trying to figure out the logistics. But regular 5 Breakfast listeners knew there was more to the story. In this episode, we unpack the confusion, the reactions online, and why on 5 Breakfast, Polokwane isn’t always just a place on the map.
Most of us know the frustration of spam calls, robocalls, cold calls, and the anxiety of seeing an unknown number on our phones. In this edition of Nick Goes Inside, we explore the world of direct marketing with two industry insiders who have worked across call centres, software, data management, compliance, and sales. Before diving into the tactics and mechanics behind these calls, we start with the basics: where companies get your number, how the industry justifies its practices, and how much control you really have once your personal data enters the system.
She could be mistaken for a stern academy principal, a daytime therapist with perfect lighting, or the woman most likely to ruin your self-esteem with one look. Instead, she built a kingdom where beauty became curriculum, panic became entertainment, and ambition had to pose through the pain. Who is this glamorous headmistress of televised pressure?
AFTER A LITTLE BIT OF A WOBBLE AND THEN WE SAW A RECOVERY LAST WEEK, WE CATCH UP WITH NICK ABOUT HOW HIS WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY IS GOING...
He looks like a nursery-rhyme extra, sounds like a street-corner suspect, and survives like a war veteran in a children’s kingdom. Tiny, breakable-looking, and wildly uncooperative, he keeps ending up in royal messes far above his pay grade. Who is this miniature rebel whose main talent is refusing to crumble under pressure?

She came from Chicago discipline, climbed through elite halls, then entered the world’s most photographed residence without ever shrinking.

As part of Youth Month, Marli van Eeden chats to his inspiring young author about finding her voice through writing, overcoming challenges, and why young people have the power to create meaningful change in their communities and beyond.
This man doesn’t start businesses, he collects boss levels. One minute he’s selling the future on wheels, the next he’s launching metal into orbit and tweeting like the group chat has nuclear codes. He behaves like a Bond villain who got addicted to memes.
Last week on Money Mondays, Xoli and Gerald started asking the dangerous question: What don’t they want you to know about money? This week, we take that question straight into the boardroom. Banks, insurance companies and big corporates love selling us convenience, security, rewards and peace of mind. But somewhere between the admin fees, policy clauses, loyalty points and “free” benefits, your money may be working harder for them than it is for you. So today, Money Mondays asks: What do banks, insurance companies and corporates not want YOU to know about money?
Xoli and Gerald are helping the Money Babies read the room, read the contract, and most importantly, read the fine print. Because sometimes the biggest money lesson is not how much you earn. It’s knowing who is earning from you.

What word can you spell perfectly until someone is watching you type it? A new study has revealed South Africa’s most commonly misspelled words, and the results are both relatable and humbling. From "colour" and "favourite" to "jewellery" and "queue", we unpack why these everyday words continue to trip people up and what this says about the wonderfully chaotic nature of the English language. We also explore whether autocorrect and AI are making us better communicators or slowly eroding our spelling skills in a world where typing has become a daily survival skill.
This week on Pap & Politics, Thabo Baloyi speaks to Mbekezeli Benjamin from Judges Matter. Eastern Cape Judge President Selby Mbenenge has approached the High Court in Pretoria in a bid to nullify the gross misconduct against him by the Judicial Service Commission, a ruling which paves the way for his impeachment.

+South Africa is not just getting spam calls anymore. We are being hunted by call centres with stamina. According to Truecaller data reported by MyBroadband, spam calls in South Africa are up almost 23% in the first five months of 2026 compared to the same period last year, with an estimated 14.41 billion spam calls identified between January and May. Yes. Billion. With a B. At this point, your phone is not ringing. It’s being emotionally harassed.

BUZZWORD: LIGHT
From Soweto came a calm man with music in his stride, gold and black in his schooling, green and gold in his calling. Then winter rose, the horn choir swelled, and his left foot sang louder than all of them.
"He carries a name that could belong to a DJ, a promoter, or a late-night radio menace. Instead, he makes his living deleting danger, one clean intervention at a time, first in town-ship thunder and now beneath skyscrapers. His passport changed; his timing did not.”
As part of Youth Month, Marli van Eeden catches up with Zoë Prinsloo, founder of 'Save a Fishie', to discuss how the initiative has grown from a local environmental movement into a nationwide force for positive change. Zoë shares her journey as a young change-maker, the expansion of 'Save a Fishie' into Gauteng, and why she believes young people have the power to transform their communities - one small action at a time.
This week, we're diving into a topic that sounds a little mysterious, a little controversial, and a whole lot interesting: "Everything They Don't Want You To Know About Money." Now before anyone starts wearing tinfoil hats, we're not talking about secret underground vaults or hidden treasure maps. We're talking about the money lessons people often learn too late in life; the things that aren't always taught in classrooms, around the dinner table, or even in the workplace. Things like how debt really works. Why saving is harder than it sounds. How banks make money. And why some people seem to understand money differently from everyone else. So I put a big question to our Money Babies: What don't your teachers, family, or friends want you to know about money? Because sometimes the most valuable financial lessons aren't the ones you're taught; they're the ones you discover for yourself
This morning on Game On: Woza Weekend, we're shining a spotlight on one of South
Africa's brightest young sporting talents. At just 14 years old, Gqeberha-born racing driver Aashay Nagura is already competing against some of the best young karting drivers in Europe; recently taking on back-to-back race weekends in the United Kingdom as part of his international development programme. And while the results are impressive, it's his resilience, determination, and rapid growth that's really turning heads.
From teaching himself the basics through racing games on a PlayStation, to helping raise money for his first kart through a community raffle, to now racing internationally and chasing a dream of representing South Africa at the highest levels of motorsport, Aashay's journey is just getting started.
This morning, we’re catching up with one of the country's most exciting young racers to
find out what it's really like competing on the world stage at just 14 years old.
This morning on 5 Breakfast, we're joined by one of South Africa's most distinctive and celebrated voices. From her years fronting Freshlyground to her acclaimed work as a solo artist, actress, storyteller, and cultural advocate, Zolani Mahola has never been afraid to evolve. And now she's entering yet another bold new chapter.
She's just announced a major global partnership with Virgin Music Group and is preparing to release her brand-new single, "XhosaNostra"; a powerful Gqom-infused track that blends cultural identity, storytelling, and fearless experimentation. The song also features one of the final recordings from the late Bravo Le Roux and serves as the first taste of her forthcoming album, People Power.
This morning, we catch up with Zolani about this exciting new era, the music, the meaning behind the name, and what happens when one of South Africa's most recognisable artists decides to reinvent herself once again.
The social media conversation surrounding Thabo Baloyi and claims from some online users that he bears a striking resemblance to Ngwako Kgatla. Is it simply a coincidence, or is there really an uncanny resemblance?
She rose from the kind of soil that stains your shoes before it shapes your name. Now sequins, smoke and stadium lights chase a girl who once belonged to gravel roads and open sky. Who is this barefoot prophecy turned full-volume phenomenon?”

For a long time, conditions like high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and kidney failure were thought of as older people's problems. But that picture is changing. We're seeing more and more stories of people in their 20s, 30s and 40s suffering strokes, being diagnosed with hypertension, and facing serious health challenges that previous generations might only have encountered much later in life.

To get the tea, the Team and listeners have to guess the missing word[s] in the headline.
Why is your 2026 playlist suddenly sounding like your parents’ CD wallet, your auntie’s wedding playlist, and a Stranger Things trailer all had a group project?
When did supporting your national team become a financial decision that needs a spreadsheet, a prayer circle and maybe a side hustle selling koeksisters at scale? Because for South Africans dreaming of watching Bafana Bafana at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the dream is giving “global football festival”… but the receipt is giving “deposit on a small car.” We’re talking flights, hotels, tickets, food, visas, local transport, internal flights, exchange rates, and the silent assassin: the US dollar looking at the rand like it owes it money.
It’s Monday; which means it’s time to stretch your money mindset on Money Mondays
with Xoli Zondo and Gerald Mwandiambira.
This week, we’re unpacking a financial trend that’s becoming more and more common;
“Buy Now, Pay Later.”
You’ve probably seen it while shopping online or in stores. Instead of paying the full
amount upfront, you take the item home today and pay for it over time. Sounds convenient, right? But is it a smart money tool… or a fast track to spending money you don’t actually have?
So Xoli asked our Money Babies a big question: what do they think about “Buy Now,
Pay Later”? Does it make life easier by helping people afford things when cash is tight?
Or is it a way to get more people into debt?
And perhaps the biggest question of all: when they grow up, would they use it them
selves? Because sometimes the easiest way to buy something today can have consequences
for your money tomorrow.
“He is too windswept to be a traditional balladeer, too emotionally available to be a detached indie boy, and too earnest to hide behind irony for long. He writes like someone who still believes in grand gestures, sings like someone raised on technique, and moves through pop not as a rebel smashing windows, but as the smiling architect replacing them with bigger glass.”
The team battles it out - in this quiz - to find out who best remembers what happened during the week.
“In one life, she is a teenage television asset trapped in an eternal sitcom loop.
In another, she is a Broadway veteran who got lost on the way to the pop charts.
In another, she is a high-altitude weather pattern capable of bringing both sunshine and
rain simultaneously.
In this one, she wore a ponytail like armor and outgrew every box they built for her.”
“He is winter logic with steady hands, a builder of rooms people had stopped entering.
Where others brought speeches, he brought measurements.
Where others brought hope, he brought habits.
And slowly, the old house remembered how to stand."
“She proves that some waves don’t ask permission to travel. They start in Joburg, pick up log drums, collect a little controversy, and suddenly the whole world is trying to pronounce the tide.”

Who is the northern emperor who learned to conquer by collaboration, borrowing accents like passports and turning emotional confession into stadium currency? He stood among three giants, claimed a throne by streaming numbers, then met a smaller, sharper blade that made the crown feel suddenly heavy.
“She is glitter over grit, a chorus with knees, hips, and history.
Her stage presence arrives like a taxi-rank anthem at golden hour; loud, stylish, impossible to ignore."
In one life, he leads a monastery where pain is studied without panic. In another, he works in a laboratory trying to bend time by fractions. In another, he is a folk hero who teaches a nation how far belief can travel. In this one, he did all three without ever needing to raise his voice.
When the team discovers that Thabo Baloyi has a Code 10 licence, things quickly spiral into suspicion, chaos, and one very important question: can he actually parallel park? From heavy-duty vehicle credentials to a live parking-lot showdown, this episode puts Thabo’s driving skills — and the safety of nearby cones — to the ultimate test.

This week, Thabo speaks to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago about the extortion and money laundering case in Mpumalanga case involving taxi boss Joe Sibanyoni. The prosecutor in the case was a no show in court on Monday for the accused's bail application, prompting the magistrate to strike the case off the court's roll.
She could be mistaken for a silent-film starlet who escaped the cinema screen, or a cabaret singer drawn by moonlight and mischief. Instead, she became one of animation’s earliest glamour icons; a cartoon woman with more attitude than most real celebrities of her era.”

TOPIC:
+ AUCTIONS
- It’s Monday, which means it’s time to stretch your money mindset on Money Mondays with Xoli Zondo and Thuli Magubane.
- This week, we’re unpacking the world of auctions; those fast-paced spaces where houses, cars, furniture and even luxury items can be sold to the highest bidder. But how do auctions actually work, and why do banks sometimes auction people’s cars and homes?
Once formally welcomed into the village, this episode moves deeper into the living culture of the Senufo people in northern Côte d’Ivoire, where tradition is not performed for visitors but protected through protocol, elders, sacred spaces, and customs that give the community its structure and meaning. Alongside these traditions comes a powerful lesson in everyday innovation, from traditional food storage and preservation systems to community knowledge passed down through generations. The journey then shifts into music — local greetings, translated conversations, village songs, rhythms, and traditional instruments that transform the experience from something you hear about into something you feel. More than a travel story, this episode is a reminder that culture is not something left behind by progress; sometimes it is the very rhythm carrying communities forward.
In this episode, my journey through Côte d’Ivoire takes me into one of the most intimate experiences of the tour so far: a traditional village connected to the Senufo people in the country’s north, where you quickly realise that you do not simply arrive and wander in like your GPS has diplomatic immunity. Here, there is a process — a greeting, permission, and respect. You’ll hear children singing, the sounds of village life unfolding naturally, and the formal conversation where entry is respectfully requested before anything else can begin. What might seem like a small moment reveals something much deeper: this is not culture as decoration, but culture as a living system. And once permission is granted, hospitality follows in the most human way possible with a traditional welcome drink, because whether you are in South Africa or Côte d’Ivoire, some truths travel well — when people truly welcome you, something is placed into your hand, and you receive it with respect. Before the tour, before the music, before the explanations, this episode captures the threshold moment where the village doesn’t just open — it receives you.
The Côte d’Ivoire tour heads north to Korhogo, where the pace, landscape, and culture of the country begin to shift in powerful ways. Guiding this part of the journey is Ahmed, who introduces listeners to the cultural heartbeat of the Senufo region through the people, traditions, and daily life that define the city. As he walks through Korhogo’s markets, food culture, craft traditions, and community spaces, Ahmed paints a picture of a place where history is carried not only through landmarks, but through the hands of artisans, farmers, traders, cooks, and woodcarvers keeping generations of culture alive. Through his perspective, listeners experience a side of Côte d’Ivoire that feels deeply rooted in heritage — a version of travel that moves beyond postcards and into the everyday rhythms of northern life. This chapter of the tour reveals how many identities can exist within one country, and how Korhogo tells the story of Côte d’Ivoire through culture, tradition, and the people shaping it every day.
The Côte d’Ivoire tour arrives at one of the country’s most extraordinary landmarks: the Basilica of Our Lady of Peace in Yamoussoukro. Rising above the city with towering columns, stained glass, marble, statues, and an immense dome inspired by St Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican, the Basilica is more than a place of worship, it is a symbol of faith, ambition, history, and national identity. Consecrated in 1990 by Pope John Paul II and designed by architect Pierre Fakhoury, the structure is often recognised as the largest church building in the world by area. This audio journey goes beyond the scale of the building to explore the stories inside it: the history behind its construction, the symbolism woven into its glass, flags, and artwork, and the quiet details that give the space its emotional power. From a distance, the Basilica impresses with size, but up close, it reveals a deeper story about Côte d’Ivoire, where faith, politics, beauty, pride, and controversy all echo within its walls.
The Côte d’Ivoire tour takes a more personal turn as the journey moves beyond landmarks and into the perspective of the people who truly shape how the country is seen. The conversation shifts to Olivier, an Ivorian photographer whose work captures the textures, moods, and quiet in-between moments that often go unnoticed. Through his lens, listeners gain a deeper understanding of how Ivorians see their cities, culture, and identity. Offering a powerful perspective on the story Côte d’Ivoire wants the rest of Africa, and the world, to understand.

Nick Hamman wants to see where people that listen to 5 Breakfast have been to in Africa.
Nick has made his way to Grand-Bassam, a coastal city with history in its walls, salt in the air, and the kind of old-world charm that immediately tells you: this place has seen things. Grand-Bassam brings a different kind of rhythm. Slower. More ceremonial. More reflective. The kind of place where you don’t just arrive, you are received. Formally introduced and welcomed at the Mayor’s office, which is a beautiful way to open this leg of the tour. Because before you can tell the story of a place, it helps to be welcomed into it properly. This is one of Côte d’Ivoire’s most historic cities.
Nick moves through the old heart of Grand-Bassam, through streets and spaces that carry the weight of history. There’s the coastal texture, the old administrative feel, the heritage architecture, and then a deeper cultural layer: the Nzima people and the traditional authority connected to the city.
Nick found himself in the middle of the city’s street energy - food, noise, colour, people, movement - and somewhere between soaking up the atmosphere and pretending to be a man of the peo- ple, he decided he needed a football jersey.
Nick Hamman arrived in San Pedro and somehow found myself in conversation with Miss San Pedro, which is exactly the kind of thing that only happens when 5 Breakfast goes on tour.

Good morning from Côte d’Ivoire, where the air is warm, the streets are wide awake, and Abidjan immediately makes one thing very clear: this city has main character energy.

Côte d’Ivoire is the world’s biggest cocoa producer so we also visited a cocoa farm.

For decades, fitness culture glorified long, high-intensity sessions. But recent peer reviewed studies challenge that idea. Research in the British Journal of Sports Medicine (2022) found that “exercise snacks”, short bursts of movement lasting 2–5 minutes, can significantly improve cardiovascular and metabolic health when accumulated throughout the day. Climbing stairs during work breaks, performing squats while waiting for coffee, or taking brisk 5-minute walks after meals can together rival traditional gym sessions in total health impact.
Pilates classes are very in at the moment. The ones where you get on a machine and basically do intense core work for an hour straight.

Mzansi... we’re officially in the final stretch where school spirit stops being a vibe and becomes a headline. The Girls Schools category has been pure power and precision - loud, clean, fearless - and now only three remain. Today we announce the TOP 3 of each category.
Who is the keeper of keys that open nothing you can see, a figure who crowns no king yet speaks in crowns and kingdoms? He wears white like a verdict, moves like history is watching, and answers to a name chosen more than given.
Mzansi... we’re officially at the “no turning back” part of the War Cry Championships. The kind of moment where school pride stops being a vibe and becomes a full-blown national event.

Who is the city’s strategist, a man who trades chalkboards for council chambers, turning policy into pavement and plans into places people recognise? He sounds like a consultant mid-pitch, moves like a mayor mid-crisis, and carries a coastline like it’s part of his job description.
Today... we reveal the TOP 5 CO-ED SCHOOLS IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER so don’t come for us with maths. Come for us with VOLUME.
This week, we’re diving into something that affects the entire country; SARS and how much tax South Africa is actually collecting. Because every year, SARS releases its tax collection numbers, and those figures tell a bigger story about the economy, jobs, and how much money government has to spend.

Who is the heartbeat in the stands, a woman who wears loyalty like a uniform and travels with the noise of a nation? She is not on the team sheet, not on the payroll, yet cameras find her like she’s part of the starting lineup.
She is chalk dust turned into policy, a sentence refined into strategy. Her voice does not rush; it arrives prepared. Between knowledge and nationhood, she built a bridge and chose to stand on it.
In one life, he teaches literature, unpacking meaning line by line. In another, he sails endlessly, writing songs for no audience but the horizon. In another, he remains part of a trio that defined a generation. In this one, he chose evolution; and made departure sound like arrival.
The Top 10 is now complete, and the power has officially shifted. From this point on, it’s not just about performance: it’s about support. It’s about who shows up.

Who is the floor general of reflection, a man who sees the play before the pass, mapping out life in diagrams only he can hear? He sounds like a preacher without a pulpit, thinks like a professor without tenure, and moves like an athlete who chose words over whistles.
South Africa... the entries are in. The chants have been recorded. The stomps have been captured.
And the war cries? Locked and loaded. Now... the power shifts to you.
Some say he walks upright like evolution took a creative risk. Others insist he belongs to forests that keep secrets better than people do. A third group only knows the footage; grainy, distant, and just convincing enough to start arguments.
Somoene who has been on a date where they realised in the first 2 minutes: this is a mistake, and had to survive it.
Question: how are you supposed to “have a break”... when someone literally stole the break?
Who is the man who learned how to heal one body at a time, then spent the rest of his life racing toward earthquakes, wars, floods and hunger as if the whole planet had become his waiting room? He wears no cape, yet arrives where governments stutter; he is summoned not by applause, but by ash, sirens, rubble and prayer. His stethoscope may have gone quiet, but his diagnosis of human suffering became unbearably loud.
Who is the global daughter who carries red carpets like passports, turning Durban light into Hollywood glow? A woman who can speak in scripts, serve in diplomacy, and still feel like home to a nation
that watched her begin in living rooms?
This feature celebrates the Afrikaans language by sharing words that lack direct English translations. It appeals to Afrikaans speakers while also educating a broader audience about the richness of the language.
Who is the wildfire shapeshifter who learned early how to play a part, then outgrew the script in front of the entire world; a voice that can crack like desert heat or curl soft as confession, a figure who swings from neon rebellion to barefoot vulnerability without ever pausing to ask permission? Not merely a pop star, not merely a former character, not merely a headline; but a woman who treats identity like a stage she refuses to exit.
Presented by Thabo, this segment delivers a humorous and unique take on the weird, wacky, and risqué news of the day. It adds a playful twist to current events, making news consumption entertaining.
Who is the firebrand with a thesis, a man who can turn parliament into spoken word and outrage into oratory? He sounds like a revolutionary preacher, moves like a student leader who never left the podium, and argues as if rhetoric were both weapon and witness.
Quick question: have you ever felt safer on a plane than in Joburg traffic… and then a story like this makes you rethink everything? Because in New York, a passenger jet hit a fire truck on the runway at LaGuardia; and it’s the kind of accident that makes you realise: flying isn’t just about the sky. It’s also about what’s happening on the ground.
It’s Monday; which means it’s time to stretch your money mindset on Money Mondays with Xoli Zondo and Thuli Magubane. This week, we’re looking at something that affects almost every South African, whether you drive or not; the price of crude oil and what it means for fuel increases expected next week.
Mike V is looking for people that have mistakenly left the mic on a meeting on, what happened?
Who is the myth disguised as a man, a roundhouse whispered into legend, a figure so exaggerated that reality had to step aside and let folklore drive? He walks like gravity owes him respect, fights like time is optional, and somehow became the punchline that outlived the joke.
Some see a gymnast with a saviour complex. Others see a lab kid who took one bad day too personally. A third camp hears the wisecracks first and assumes he’s coping through comedy. All three are right, and still only touching the webbing.
The Bafana squad announcement and New Jersey with Errol Madlala (SAFA Commercial and Marketing Manager) and Thulani Hlatshwayo.
Wayne Rooney called the 2010 FIFA World Cup the worst in history. His comments on vuvuzelas, the Jabulani ball, and local facilities spark strong opinions. The conversation reflects on how people can criticise their own country, but feel defensive when outsiders do.
Who is the kingmaker whose face is less famous than his first note, a man who taught the world to hear sunrise in an African tongue, turning chant into cinema and cinema into inheritance? He sounds like a coronation, moves like a conductor, and carries a continent in his breath.
Who is the fireproof chameleon who moves like choreography taught itself desire, a performer who can slip from studio smoke to director’s chair; to courtside mythology without ever asking which version of herself the world is prepared to handle? Not merely a singer, not merely a dancer, not merely a muse; but a woman who turns every room into a rehearsal for reinvention.

It’s Monday; which means it’s time to stretch your money mindset on Money Mondays with Xoli Zondo and Thuli Magubane. This week, we’re talking about something that quietly powers a huge part of South Africa’s economy: small businesses.
From the corner spaza shop to the neighbourhood barber, from the baker selling cakes on weekends to the friend running an online clothing store; small businesses are everywhere. They create jobs, they solve everyday problems, and for many people they’re the first step toward financial independence.
But here’s the question: what actually counts as a small business? When does a hustle become a business... and when does the taxman enter the chat?
Former ANC MP Vincent Smith was sentenced to an effective 7 years behind bars for corruption, the first high-profile politician to see the inside of a jail cell since the State Capture report was handed to President Cyril Ramaphosa in 2022. While this marks a milestone in the fight against corruption, there are concerns over the slow pace at which graft-related matters are being concluded before the courts. Thabo Baloyi speaks to Wayne Duvenage, the CEO of the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA) about what the future holds for other figures implicated in corruption.

Who is the storyteller whose body learned to speak long before her scripts did? A woman who can fight like a warrior on screen, glide like a ballerina in rehearsal, and disappear into characters the way dancers disappear into music. Not merely a fighter. Not merely a dancer.

Who is the son of thunderous verse who chose instead to speak in angles, glitches, and groove? A body that moves like coded poetry, as if a praise singer wandered into a mother-board and came back dancing. Not a machine, not a traditional bard, but a performer who makes motion rhyme.
Thapelo Motloutse recently appointed as a technical official for the upcoming FIH World Cup qualifiers in Chile
Earlier this week, we opened a can of worms.
We told you about a brand-new game from South African developers Nyamakop called ReLooted; a game where players plan and execute museum heists… not for money, not for chaos; but to re-loot African artefacts that were taken and now sit in museums across the world. Immediately, the studio split in two. So we reached out to the developers. We asked for access. And they said yes. Over the next few days, the 5 Breakfast team will be playing demo versions of ReLooted; properly playing it; to experience the mechanics, the storytelling, the intention behind it.
We’re five days into reliving the legends. Five days of goosebumps. Five days of remembering what happens when a school moves as one.
And if you’ve been watching from the sidelines thinking, “We could do better than that…”; this is your moment.
The 5 Breakfast War Cry Championship is coming back soon, and by now your school should be talking. The chants should be getting louder. The formations tighter. The leaders chosen. The rhythm locked in.
The 5 Breakfast team battles it out in a game to see who remembers what happened this week.
Who is the silver-haired chronicler born into chandeliers and old money whispers, yet choosing instead floodwaters and frontlines? He could have remained in drawing rooms, but he ran toward sirens; armed not with a sword, but with a microphone.
There are few sounds more powerful than a school war cry. The stomp. The clap. The unison shout that turns a group of learners into one heartbeat. It’s more than just noise; it’s identity. It’s legacy. It’s school pride at full volume. And something big is coming back soon.
It’s Monday, which means it’s time to stretch your money mindset on Money Mondays with Xoli Zondo and Financial Expert Thuli Magubane.
Who is the shapeshifter who once purred in pastel pixels, then shed her fur for fangs and front-row fashion? She began as a bedroom glitch, went viral like a meme with nine lives, and now stalks arenas in couture claws; neither theatric feline nor township freedom singer, but something far more feral.
A sports-focused segment hosted by Xoli, featuring interviews with athletes or coaches and pre-views of weekend sporting events. It’s an energizing lead-up to the weekend for sports enthusiasts.
Who is the man who chose chalk dust over champagne, who turned classrooms into battlegrounds and syllabi into shields? He speaks not in punchlines, but in policies —yet somehow trends like a headline act.
Description: President Cyril Ramaphosa delivers the State of the Nation Address (SONA) on Thursday in Cape Town, laying out the government's plan for the year ahead and reflecting on its achievements - but what exactly can South Africans expect once he takes to the podium?
Quick question: if I say “South America”… what pops into your head? Brazil. Argentina. Maybe that one cousin who did ayahuasca once and won’t shut up about Peru.
But there’s a country up there that’s basically South America’s “hidden track”; Suriname. It’s giving rainforest, Dutch, insane cultural mix, and a capital city that looks like it time travelled from a colonial postcard.
Tomorrow we showcase the next generation of Radio. School Radio Stations and AI. We’ve done a few things with AI On Air but tomorrow we want to figure out if AI could replace us and if you would know the difference.
Who is the heir to a throne that never needed a palace, raised where policy and parliament echo, yet choosing instead a kingdom built from basslines and midnight electricity? A royal by surname, but a ruler by rhythm.
In this episode, Nick Chats to mortician Dennis Zondo.

Some hear a preacher of second chances. Others see a disruptor who thrives on chaos. A third group insists he’s a magician who knows where the crowd is looking; and where it isn’t.
This week, as we celebrate World Radio Day, we’re doing something special on 5 Breakfast; we’re handing the mic over to the future.
Introducing Classroom to Country. A nationwide celebration of South Africa’s school radio stations, where young voices step out of the classroom and onto a national stage. Every day this week, a school gets two full minutes of national airtime to do absolutely anything they want. No rules. No limits. Just creativity, confidence, and a live mic.
Who learned early that inheritance is louder when styled, that a crown can be rented by the hour, and that being underestimated is the most profitable disguise of all?
This morning on 5 Breakfast, we’re joined in studio by one of the producers who helped shape the sound of South African pop and Afro-house over the last decade; Sketchy Bongo. After a five-year hiatus, Sketchy is officially back, kicking off a brand-new chapter with his album One26 On M and the lead single “No Getting Over You”, featuring the ever-smooth Jimmy Nevis.
It’s a comeback rooted in growth, reflection, and still knowing how to make a song that hits you in the feelings and the hips. Sketchy’s hanging out with us for the next two segments; talking music, the break, the return, and we’ve got a game lined up too.
So Florida had a proper cold snap... and suddenly people started seeing
iguanas dropping out of trees like nature’s most confusing plot twist.
Here’s the key detail: when it gets cold enough, green iguanas basically shut down. They’re cold blooded (reptiles), so their bodies run on external heat.
No heat? No movement. They go stiff, lose their grip, and fall. That’s why you’ll see them on lawns, sidewalks, patios looking like they’ve clocked out of life. But many of them can “reboot” once they warm up.
This week, Thabo speaks to SABC News journalist Sibahle Motha about the latest from the Madlanga Commission, from new damning witness testimony to the first report being handed to President Cyril Ramaphosa.
John Steenhuisen says he’s not going for a third term as DA leader; meaning he’s stepping out of the DA leadership contest ahead of the party’s federal congress in April.
There’s fresh chatter about South Africa potentially age-gating or “banning” kids from TikTok and Instagram; and MyBroad- band went straight to digital law expert Emma Sadleir to ask: would it work here?
Her answer is basically: Yes, it’s a good idea... but no, it won’t land unless we can actually enforce it.
And that’s the key: a ban isn’t a vibe. A ban is a system. If the system is weak, all you’ve done is print a PDF and call it “safety”.
Who learned to fight without noise, to think without limits, and to love without a body, proving that presence doesn’t need permission from fists, facts, or flesh?
This is the official start of Nick’s public weight-loss journey. The goal is transparency, realism, and credibility; not shame, not gimmicks.
Who learned early that language could be camouflage, that laughter could smuggle truth across borders, and that belonging was something you could build one sentence at a time?

Today the buzzword is HEAT.
Our journey with Ndumi’s saga began just last Monday, during Bet You Can’t Find, when she shared what she calls one of the biggest mistakes she ever made.
She told us how she moved out of home to be with a man she had met just a week earlier; someone she’d encountered at the bar where she worked. What she didn’t know then was that he was homeless. And very quickly, so was she.
What was meant to be a fresh start turned into survival mode. Ndumi stayed in that situation for two years; navigating instability, fear, and the quiet weight of regret, far away from the safety she had walked away from.
Yesterday, in Part 5 of Ndumi’s Saga, we heard what life really looked like once the doors closed; living in an abandoned house with her new boyfriend, navigating instability, fear, and a daily reality that was far removed from the life she had left behind.
Today, we move into Part 6: Relationship with Substances - a chapter that unpacks how coping turned into dependency, and how substances slowly be- came part of survival, escape, and routine.
This is not about shock value. It’s about understanding how vulnerable moments, unresolved trauma, and isolation can blur lines and reshape choices.
Ndumi shares this part of her story not to justify what happened, but to tell the truth; in the hope that someone listening recognises themselves, or realises they’re not alone.

This isn’t a creator — it’s a correction. A global figure who arrived without polish, without translation, and without explanation, yet somehow became fluent in every language at once.
Who arrived sounding unfinished, a voice once called too flat to fly, then turned restraint into weaponry and taught pop that confidence doesn’t need to climb — it can stand still?
School Students from the Hospitality Team, present the team with Menu Items named after them in a master chef style judging. Paballo’s brownies, Khwezi’s muffins, Tatum’s cookies, Kayla’s lemonade, Mikayla’s chicken mayo.
During Monday’s Bet You Can’t Find South Africa’s Biggest Mistake, we heard from 5 Breakfast regular, Ndumi, who briefly told us how she met a charming guy at a bar she was working at and a week later she moved out of home to live with him, only to find out that he was homeless. The plat only thickened from there and we all had so many questions. So, we decided to sit down with Ndumi to get the full story.
She has never shared the full details of her sage until now.
Over the next few days, we will bring you Ndumi’s Sage in her own words.
Who entered the world as a harmony, mistaken for decoration in someone else’s chorus, then stepped forward alone and taught an entire generation that gentleness could headline?
Defence Minister Angie Motshekga has launched an investigation into Iran's unauthorised participation in a BRICS naval drill. President Cyril Ramaphosa's instructions for Iran to be relegated to an observer role were reportedly ignored, raising questions about diplomatic protocols.

You might’ve seen that video doing the rounds; schoolgirls standing at the gate, having their braids cut off before they’re allowed into class. It’s gone viral, and the internet’s split right down the middle. Some people saying, “Rules are rules.” Others asking, “How is this discipline?”
Because here’s the thing; when we talk about school rules, especially uniforms and hair, we often say they’re about order and discipline. But are they actually about learning... or about control?
We’ve just cut a powerful piece of audio that zooms out from the outrage and asks a much bigger question: why do we keep treating individuality like misbehaviour? And what exactly are schools teaching young people about power, authority, and dignity?
He doesn’t play devil’s advocate — he auditions for the role nightly. Turns out the loudest opinion isn’t always right... but it’s rarely ignored.

Who arrived as an adult in a world obsessed with children, promised infinite futures without ever ageing, and quietly taught generations that identity could be tried on, changed, and owned?
It’s Monday; and this week on Money Mondays, Xoli Zondo is asking the question we all low-key avoid: how do our festive spending habits come back to greet us in January?
December is for joy, gifts, food, and saying “it’s fine” a little too often... but January always keeps receipts. So Xoli is chatting to financial expert Thuli Magubane about what
really happens to our money over the festive season; and how our December decisions shape our January 2026 reality. And this morning, our Money Babies are on audit duty. Did their parents spend wisely, or did things get a little out of hand? Will it be Jan-u-merry... or Jan-u-worry?

In Episode 1, the team thought it was a normal show...until the system glitched like it had an attitude. A stamped book called The Hundred Acre Frequency appeared, mapped us as archetypes, and the studio basically opened a portal and swallowed us whole. Casual Tuesday stuff.
Episode 2: we wake up inside the Forest... and immediately learn

Depending on the era, she’s mistaken for a pop juggernaut, an art-school radical, or a technical marvel built for arenas. Truth is, she studied all three then merged them. Who is this celebrity?
This isn’t a director; it’s a world-builder with grudges against limitation. He’s chased shape-shifting machines, weaponised motherhood, and turned blue horizons into global obsession, all while insisting the tech catch up to his imagination. Who is this celebrity?
Who built the world’s most trusted reputation without ever being interviewed, operates across borders without visas, and measures success not in profit but in belief sustained year after year?
Since Last year we’ve been doing a Christmas Drama right around this time
of year. And this year is no different. The only difference this year will be that we’re not going to play character, we’ll be playing ourselves. Because this year’s radio drama will be all about getting Marli and Thabo into the Christmas Spirit.
A few weeks ago Marli shared a story about a man named Sello who's do 'Option' got run over by a vehicle, and because they were situated in a quite remote area, Sello wasn't sure if he would be able to get 'Option' somewhere quickly enough where Option's life would be saved. He ended up walking 15 km to the Virginia SPCA with the wounded dog.
Recently there's been a few updates regarding the story: Sello's dog, Option, survived and is recovering well (despite having to have his one leg amputated). The community also chipped in and covered all of Option's medical and other expenses.
To top it all off, Sello managed to get a job opportunity at the Virginia SPCA, which means he is close to Option, and he really loves the job and is so thankful for the opportunity
Who keeps the legend alive without ever flying, feeds the myth without ever being seen,
and proves that every great miracle is backed by unpaid logistics, emotional labour, and someone remembering where everything is?
From headline-making moments to stories that had everyone talking, Thabo runs through the biggest news events of the year in this fast-paced feature. A quick recap of the moments that shaped the year, sparked conversations, and dominated the timeline.
It’s December, but the Christmas spirit is nowhere to be found. Thabo and Marli admit they’re just not feeling festive this year, no decorations up, no solid plans for Christmas Day, and zero holiday hype. A real, relatable chat for anyone else quietly skipping the tinsel this season. 🎄
Who turned the front-facing camera into a confessional booth, where comedy dressed as chaos slowly revealed ambition, strategy, and a masterclass in surviving visibility in a country that loves you loudly and criticises you even louder?
This week on Marli’s Monday Motivation, Marli speaks to Musa Dzukutu, a resilient entrepreneur and beadwork artist who turned unimaginable loss into a life of meaning. After a life-altering spinal injury left him paralysed, Musa rebuilt his future through creativity, faith, and an unshakable belief in himself.
His story is a powerful reminder that your circumstances do not define your potential and that sometimes, the strength you need is already inside you.

The 5 Breakfast team battles it out in a game to see who remembers what happened on the show this week.
A sports-focused segment hosted by Xoli, featuring interviews with athletes or coaches and previews of weekend sporting events. It’s an energizing lead-up to the weekend for sports enthusiasts.
He’s the only superstar who can really ‘break the ice,’ but give him one warm welcome and the guy literally can’t hold himself together. Who is this celebrity?
Who is the chameleon who turned reinvention into armour, a performer who can whisper vulnerability and roar spectacle in the same breath, moving from glitter-soaked stages to roles that demand bones, bruises, and a heart big enough to break twice?”

Hawks vs. Hashtags: When a Joke Gets a Search Warrant”
Who did what, and why does it matter?
- TikTok comedian Anton Taylor posted a satirical skit (29 March) as a fake Czech
crime boss claiming he “bribed” Police Minister Senzo Mchunu with a BMW and
three sex workers to attack KZN police boss Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. * Mchunu laid charges. * The Hawks arrived with a warrant, seized Taylor’s phone, and even secured a
cell-tracking order. The docket went to prosecutors... who declined to prosecute. * Meanwhile, Mchunu’s on special leave while a judicial commission probes separate allegations against him; Firoz Cachalia is standing in.
Why it matters: This isn’t just about a spicy skit, it’s about state power colliding with free speech in the social media era.
What’s the tea?
+ The raid happened in June, while Taylor was overseas, he wakes up to 10 missed calls, Hawks at his door, and an affidavit framing his post as “crimes against the state” (even “terrorism” language tossed around).
-
A Hawks spokesperson later cites a Cybercrimes Act angle: “damaging the dignity of a person on social media without consent.”
-
Taylor’s phone was held for two weeks. He says a Hawks captain told him the minister was personally offended and “couldn’t let it slide.”
- Outcome? The NPA said nah, “no reasonable prospect” of winning a case. + Parliament’s Police Committee chair Ian Cameron called it abuse of power, “North Korea-esque.” Taylor’s pinned the video and told politicians who’ve taken jokes on the chin to stand up.
What’s being questioned or exposed?
+ Power vs. parody: Can a politician weaponize elite crime units over a meme? + Lawfare & chilling effect: Using the Hawks and Cybercrimes laws on satire risks scaring creators, journos, and campus media into silence.
-
Priorities check: While SA fights violent crime, do we spend hundreds of thousands chasing a joke?
-
Political backdrop: This all lands while Mchunu himself faces a commission of iinquiry, adding big “conflict of interest” energy.
They swung into the world as co-stars but landed as soulmates, one, a chameleon of screens from Disney sets to Emmy stages; the other, a nimble Brit who turned webs into wings.
Hint Legend: • Disney: her early acting career beginnings • webs: his role as the superhero that defined him
t’s Monday, and you know what that means, time to get your money right with Money Mondays with Xoli Zondo!
Last week, we unpacked the hidden costs of buying your dream home... but what about renting? Today we flip the script and ask: what are the hidden costs of renting your dream place, both as a tenant and as an owner? From deposits and maintenance surprises to levies and management fees, there’s a lot more to renting than just paying the monthly rent. That’s why Xoli and our financial expert Thuli Magubane are here to break it all down, and of course, we’ll hear from our Money Babies on what they think too.
So before you sign that lease, stick around, this conversation could save you from some serious financial headaches.
South African DJ and influencer Cyan Boujee, plus others like Peachy Sprin- kles and Ghost Hlubi, promoted a Russian programme called Alabuga Start. On Insta, it looked like a legit “work-study” opportunity. In reality? Reports say young African women were flown to Russia, had their passports taken, and ended up assembling drones in military factories for the Ukraine war. That’s not just a dodgy brand deal, that’s influencers accidentally platforming what could be human trafficking.
WHAT’S THE TEA?
Women recruited thought they’d be in hospitality or study programmes. In- stead, they got surveillance, long shifts, chemical burns, and barely any pay. Some as young as 15 worked alongside them. South Africa’s Department of International Relations even had to rescue one woman after she realised she’d been trapped. Meanwhile, the Russian Embassy insists it’s all “un- founded allegations.” And the influencers? They quietly deleted their promo posts once the backlash hit.
WHAT’S BEING QUESTIONED OR EXPOSED?
This is about more than one bad collab. It’s exposing how:
- Influence = responsibility. An Insta ad isn’t just vibes when people’s lives are at stake.
- Power imbalance. Exploiting high youth unemployment makes scams easier to sell.
- Trust & regulation. If influencers can hype up something linked to human trafficking, what’s the real line between “sponno” and scam?
WHY SHOULD OUR LISTENERS CARE?
Because Gen Z knows the hustle economy is real, jobs are scarce, and “op- portunities abroad” can feel like a golden ticket. But this story shows how desperation can be weaponised. Also, if influencers we follow can mislead us, knowingly or not, how do we check the receipts before buying into their hype? This isn’t just about Russia. It’s about digital trust, brand responsibility, and your safety.

For this week’s edition of “Slegs Afrikaans”, Marli spoke to director Brett Michael Innes about the upcoming new Afrikaans (let’s say “naughty”) R-rated film called “Khaki Fever”, written and directed by him, as well as co-written and co-produced by his husband Nick Ahlers. Actors starring in the film include the likes of Chris Jaftha, Francois Jacobs, and Trix Vivier. The premise of the film: “Set on a private safari lodge, the story revolves around a cheeky challenge among game rangers: whoever beds the most tourists during the season wins the coveted “King of Khaki” title plus the losers’ collective tips. The catch? The steely lodge manager, Anel, has declared that anyone caught fraternising with guests will be immediately fired.” The team chats about whether the “khaki fever” trend - super short khaki shorts (“kortbroek”), veldskoene and ranger hats are sexy or silly, and according to Thabo you can only wear a khaki outfit with a super short “kortbroek” if you have the legs for it (which he apparently does…), so then Thabo goes on to vow, in the presence of the whole 5Nation, that he’s brave enough to wear a very short khaki “kortbroek” on Heritage Tour to show of his legs… Let’s just say, we’ll definitely be keeping you to your promise Thabo!

With no kitchen on-site, we threw the challenge to our listeners, and the responses poured in.

Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber just called it the “biggest change ever” for his department, and for once, he might not be overselling it. The old Online Verification System (OVS), the tech that checks your details against the National Population Register, was a glitchy nightmare, failing half the time and sometimes taking a full day to reply with... the wrong info. The new system? A 99% success rate, lightning-fast responses, and a green light for rolling out smart ID and passport services to way more bank branches.
A few years ago a hilarious video a mom took of her daughter learning to ride a bicycle went viral, as the young Marelize Horn smashed right into a rugby pole.

Milani officially launched in 2023 and now has over 1,000 free videos created with the help of partner schools and a volunteer team known as the “Milani army.” Alexandra balances her studies in Data Science with running the organisation and hopes to expand Milani with more subjects, translations into local languages, and better access for low-data areas.

sorted?

AMPD Studios isn’t just a studio, it’s a launchpad. Tucked in the heart of Newtown, Johannesburg, AMPD Studios has been a game-changer for South Africa’s creative youth. Designed with a bold vision to democratise the entertainment industry, it’s a cutting-edge space where aspiring musicians, podcasters, content creators, and creative entrepreneurs could dream loudly, and actually bring those dreams to life.
Closing AMPD Studios would be more than losing a building, it would be silencing a channel of possibility for thousands of young creatives. It would mean:
+ One less safe, accessible space to learn and grow.
+ Fewer platforms for youth voices and local talent to be heard.
- A step backward in building a self-sustaining creative economy.
- A blow to community development and youth empowerment in a time when
we need it most.
He started in student halls demanding accountability, then walked straight into the national spotlight, debating arts funding one minute, and clashing with party bosses the next. Now he’s changed colours without changing course. Who is this youthful parliamentarian at the centre of a major political shift?
Alright, let’s talk about it. It’s Youth Day in South Africa, a day meant to honour the
courage of young people who risked everything in 1976. But fast forward to 2025...
and honestly? The vibe is off.
We’ve just heard the president announce this big thing called the National Dialogue.
It’s meant to be a moment where South Africans come together and decide how to
fix what’s broken, jobs, education, poverty, crime. Big stuff.
But here's the twist:
In this 34-member Eminent Persons Group appointed to guide the process, there’s
almost no actual young person leading the charge. Miss SA Mia le Roux is on the
list, but apart from that, where are the voices who grew up in this democracy, not the
one who fought for it? Where are the hustling graduates, the student leaders, the un-
employed dreamers, the youth activists, the content creators building movements on
TikTok?
How can we claim to be shaping SA’s future, when the actual future, the youth, ismissing from the room?
We’re talking:
+ 60% youth unemployment
+ Mental health breakdowns
+ A digital economy we’re not being prepared for
+ Climate collapse
+ GBV
+ NSFAS chaos
+ And a whole Gen Z that’s screaming “Nobody’s listening!”
+ Even the Inter-Ministerial Committee and the Steering Committee structure, zero
clarity on youth-specific seats. Meanwhile, we’re told it’s “people-led.” So who are these people? Where’s the guy who just failed matric but still wants to fix this coun-
try?
We wanna know:
+ How can you talk about the future, when the future isn’t in the room?
-
Do you think the National Dialogue can truly work without young people at the cen-
tre? -
Or is youth inclusion just a buzzword until the politicians really hand over the mic?
-
And what do you think are the issues youth should be putting on that Dialogue
agenda, GBV? Mental health? Jobs? Digital access? Education reform? -
Let’s get real. If you were on that panel, what’s the one change you’d fight for?
- Potential Prompts for Listeners (Read On-Air):
- “Should every national conversation include a 21-year-old with no political ties?”
- “Is experience more important than lived youth reality?”
- “Are we being sidelined... again?”

Here are a few things to know about Macassar:
Geography:
+ It lies southeast of Cape Town, along the N2 highway.
+ It’s considered a peri-urban area, meaning it’s on the edge of the urban
sprawl.
+ It borders parts of the Helderberg region and is not far from wine routes and
coastal zones.
Community:
+ Macassar is a residential area with a diverse and close-knit community.
+ It’s historically rooted in the coloured community and has a strong cultural
identity.
+ Like many areas in South Africa, it faces challenges such as unemployment,
housing shortages, and service delivery issues, but it's also full of resilience
and local activism.
Fun Fact:
+ The name "Macassar" has roots in the Indonesian city Makassar (also spelled
Macassar), tied to the history of Sheikh Yusuf, an exiled Indonesian Islamic
leader who settled near the Cape in the 1600s and is buried in the area. His
kramat (tomb) is a site of spiritual significance and pilgrimage.
He’s somewhere between a parody and a prophet. He’s dropped verses about taxis, takeaways, and territorial pride, and somehow, it slaps every time. Guess the rapper with more slang than a WhatsApp group in Bellville.

Budget 3.0: Godongwana’s Make-or-Break Moment.
Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana is returning to Parliament to table his third attempt at a national budget this year. His first two efforts failed, largely due to a proposed VAT increase that triggered legal action, political revolt, and nearly collapsed the coalition government. Now, with VAT hikes officially scrapped, all eyes are on how he plans to plug a R75 billion budget hole without triggering economic or political meltdown.
If Budget 3.0 fails again, automatic spending ceilings could kick in, slashing funding to
critical services like health, education, and struggling SOEs like Eskom and Transnet. That could stall service delivery, spark protests, and deepen distrust in the government of national unity (GNU).

NEWS Story and gives us the silver lining.
-
From Street Cred to Bed Spread: Who needs street cred when you've got a cozy blanket of apologies? J. Cole's turning beefs into bedtime stories, and we're all snuggling up for a good night's sleep.
-
Turning Tables, Turning Heads: Hip hop's all about flipping the script, "With J. Cole's apology, we’re seeing hip hop leveling up to version 2.0. "Forget beef, it's time for hip hop to get woke! J. Cole, is single handedly ushering in of the vegan era of Hip Hop epitomised by a plant-based diet of peace, love, and harmony. Who needs drama when you can have kale and camaraderie?" We're trading diss tracks for heartfelt apologies, and toxic masculinity is getting a much-needed makeover. Who needs beef when you can have tofu?"
-
The Apology Olympics: "Picture this: J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar sitting down at a hip hop therapy session, hashing out their differences over a beat instead of a boxing ring. It's like Dr. Phil meets Dr. Dre, and the prescription is a healthy dose of mutual respect." J. Cole just won gold in the Apology Olympics, leaving other rappers scrambling to catch up. Who's next?
a. Let's see Drake and Pusha T settle their differences with a game of patty cake.
b. Maybe we can even get Kanye to apologize to Taylor Swift next.
c. Will Jay-Z apologize for cheating on Beyoncé? The possibilities are endless. -
"J. Cole's apology is like hip hop's version of a rom-com ending. It's the moment when the brooding protagonist realizes that love conquers all, even in a genre known for its tough exterior. Cue the slow-motion reconciliation montage set to a soulful beat."
-
"In the game of hip hop, J. Cole's apology is like landing on the 'Community Chest' space in Monopoly and pulling out a 'Get Out of Jail Free' card. It's a chance to reset the board, bury the hatchet, and maybe even pass 'Go' without collecting R200 worth of drama."
-
"Attention all hip hop heads! J. Cole's apology to Kendrick Lamar is the ultimate plot twist in the rap game. It's flipping the script from machismo and misogyny to humility and honest vulnerability"
-
Apology Merch Madness: Get ready for the hottest new merch drop: "Sorry Not Sorry" hoodies and "Regretful Rapper" hats. Because nothing says "I'm sorry" like a limited edition t-shirt. Move over fat rope chains and ice grills, Hip hop's hottest accessory this season is now the Friendship bracelets! It's a fashion statement we can all get behind."
-
The Hip Hop Hippie: J. Cole's apology is like a breath of fresh air in a room full of stale beats. It's time to put down the mic and pick up some incense. Can we get a group meditation session going, where rappers chant "OM" instead of dropping bombs?
-
Apologizing Like a Boss: J. Cole's apology is a power move disguised as a mea culpa. In hip hop, where beefs are often settled with diss tracks and harsh words, apologizing takes serious growth. It's like bringing a bouquet of roses to a rap battle - unexpected and charmingly audacious.
-
Beef-Be-Gone: By squashing his beef with Kendrick, J. Cole is like the Gandalf of hip hop, saying "You shall not pass... judgment on my fellow rapper." He's putting an end to the negativity, transforming the rap game from a battleground to a peaceful, harmonious gathering of wordsmiths. Let’s burn some incense and meditate together.
-
The Real Slim Shady Stands Up: J. Cole's apology is a moment of vulnerability in a genre often associated with bravado and machismo. He's showing that it's okay to admit when you're wrong and to make amends, even if it means swallowing your pride and eating a slice of humble pie.
-
The Power of Positivity: In a genre often criticized for its negative influence, J. Cole's apology is a beacon of positivity shining through the darkness of beefs and rivalries. He's proving that vulnerability is the ultimate flex in hip hop, and that there's more to rap than just dissing your rivals and counting your stacks.
-
The Apology Anthem: J. Cole just dropped the hottest track of 2024 - "I'm Sorry, Kendrick". Who knew apologies could be so catchy? It's like the ultimate remix of "Sorry" by Justin Bieber, but with more street cred.
-
Vulnerability is the New Flex: Move over, flashy chains and expensive cars. The real flex in 2024 is admitting when you're wrong and saying sorry. J. Cole just showed us all how to flex our humility muscles.
-
Meme Magic: Get ready for a flood of memes featuring J. Cole and Kendrick hugging it out with the caption "Friendship Goals". It's the wholesome content we never knew we needed, but now can't live without.
-
Hip Hop Therapy Session: It's group therapy for the entire hip hop community. Grab your popcorn and prepare for some emotional breakthroughs. By apologizing to Kendrick, he's helping heal the wounds of past beefs and promoting emotional growth in the rap community. It's like group therapy, but with more beats and fewer couches.

MTHA AND TOM ARE THE NEW MEMBERS OF THE 5FM FAMILY. THEY
WILL BE PRESENTING 5 WEEKEND EARLY MORNINGS FROM 4AM TO

Yesterday morning former MP and Speaker of Parliament Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula was making her way out of her residence in Bruma on the East of Johannesburg heading to the Littleton Police Department to hand herself over. As her car drove off a journalist panned their camera to capture the departure and we all caught a glimpse of an unprecedented eyewitness to the drama unfolding in the quiet suburb at that time of the morning.
Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula has handed herself over to the Police. We have Senior Political Reporter: Samkele Maseko who is at the police station.
They say laughter is the best medicine, and this is just what the doctor ordered. In a world of serious politics and stuffy ceremonies, she's the breath of fresh air we all need. Sometimes, the best way to make an entrance is to make a splash.
The Minister might have wanted a photo op, but Tyla gave him a dance party instead. This was actually a carefully choreographed dance move, showcasing her transition from making "Water" to “Making Waves” in the industry.
If actions speak louder than words, then Tyla greeting dignitaries with dance moves is shouting from the rooftops “Forget handshakes and formalities – This is the new protocol”. And we're here for it.
Tyla's protective stance over her Grammy isn't just about safeguarding an award; it's about preserving the integrity of her hard work and talent. After all, who wouldn't want to protect something made of solid gold?
Just as Tyla was coerced into a photo op with Nancy Pelosi, her encounter with Minister Zizi Kodwa highlights the disparity between genuine recognition and forced celebrity endorsements. As Jay-Z aptly put it, "We don't believe you, you need more people."
Ladies and Gentlemen, Tyla is making a socio-political statement from the Youth!
“THE SNUB" is the first movement in a four part dance of independence and freedom aimed at liberating the youth, celebrities and voters from the shackles of societies expectations of us.
Tyla's "SNUB" is a reminder that in this world, sometimes you have to dance to your own beat – even if it means stepping on a few toes.
“THE SNUB” is a water-themed rebellion against the expectation that the youth and celebrities must always play nice. Tyla's making waves, and she's not afraid to get a little wet in the process.
By debuting her new dance routine now, as the Nation heads into the peak of Election Season, Tyla is flipping the script on politicians who show up at rallies and in our communities with empty promises and weak dance moves of their own.
Tyla is also making a very serious statement on the superficiality of fame and the absurdity of celebrity culture. After an exhausting performance or a long flight home from an awards ceremony half way across the world, who needs formalities when you can make a statement with a simple dance move.
By turning her back on the Minister during her hero’s welcome, Tyla is flipping the script on traditional celebrity, youth and voter behaviour. She is boldly stating that “WE WILL NOT BE CO-OPTED FOR A PHOTO OP.”
While politicians like Zizi Kodwa may seek validation through association with celebrities, Tyla's subtle snub reminds us that true influence stems from authenticity, not photo ops. It's a lesson in humility for those who overestimate their celebrity status.
Tyla's reluctance to engage in superficial gestures with politicians reflects a broader disillusionment among the youth and real celebrities with traditional power structures. In a world where authenticity reigns supreme, empty photo ops simply won't cut it.
The symbolism behind Tyla's Grammy snub extends beyond the music industry; it's a commentary on the disconnect between political elites and the realities of everyday people. In an era of performative politics, Tyla's authenticity is a breath of fresh air.
This was a sly wink to her fans, showing that she's not afraid to make a splash, even when faced with political pressure.
Tyla's not just making waves in the music industry – she's making a splash in politics too. Who knew a simple dance move could cause such a stir?

WATTS IN A LOGO: A Press Statement by Crisis Communicator Xoli Zondo:
Ladies and Gentlemen, Thank you for joining us today. In the dynamic landscape of energy, Eskom is not just a provider of power; we are orchestrating a symphony of transformation. Today, I stand before you as Eskom's Crisis Spokesperson, to shed light on the bright future that our logo redesign heralds.
We aren't merely redesigning a logo; we're executing a power move, a symbolic gesture to show they're not just flipping switches but turning over a new leaf. Even in the face of challenges, aesthetics matter. Eskom is redefining our visual identity, proving that innovation isn't just about wires and circuits; it's about the very essence of who we are. The new logo is like a power surge, injecting some wattage into our image. The redesign is a booster shot for our public image, injecting energy precisely when it's needed most.
Imagine a logo that not only represents us but could light up a room. Why stop at electricity? Let the logo be a beacon in the dark. A logo so bright, it could turn load shedding into a festive occasion. Eskom is not just providing power; we're illuminating the way forward.
Eskom is managing public perception brilliantly by introducing a visually appealing element amid the crisis. It's a calculated move to shift the narrative from problems to possibilities. The logo redesign is not just a change in appearance; it's a strategic shift in focus.
The public's spontaneous response to create logos for free is a testament to Eskom's ability to engage citizens. This showcases a level of connection that goes beyond the traditional client-service dynamic. We are not just a provider; we're a community, and our logo reflects that unity.
Our new glow in the dark logo, will become a symbol of enlightenment in more ways than one. It won’t just light up rooms but lightens the mood! Our logo will not only lights up the dark but also sheds light on Eskom's commitment to a bright future.
In a playful twist, our logo redesign is not just a visual change but a metaphorical shedding of the load of public concerns. We're shredding the old logo to make way for a new era, where Eskom stands stronger, more resilient, and ready for the challenges ahead.
The logo redesign symbolizes Eskom's commitment to a powerful transformation, mirroring our internal changes and restructuring for a more efficient and reliable future. Just as Eskom is unbundling its operations, the logo redesign represents the unbundling of the old image for a fresh start.
In conclusion, Eskom's logo is not merely a symbol; it's a statement. It's a testament to our ability to adapt, innovate, and light the way forward.
Thank you for your attention, and let's look forward to a brighter, more illuminated future together.

Punishing pupils for bad behaviour with humiliation or by administering corporal punishment only aggravates disciplinary problems at schools, a new research paper has suggested
What was required at schools was an approach to discipline which considered the personal circumstances and needs of children, a senior social work lecturer at the University of the Free State, Roelf Reyneke, argued in his paper.
The work, published in the latest issue of the Perspectives in Education Journal, explained that children brought the social ills they were exposed to in their communities into their classrooms.
We asked the cool kids of SA if they have ever received any corporal punishment and if they think it works?

5FM is delighted to announce the inclusion of multi award winning record producer and DJ Black Coffee as a resident Ultimix DJ.
Generation Next Award winner for the coolest DJ, Black Coffee, real name Nkosinathi Maphumulo, joins a list of popular DJ’s who create mixes for everyone’s favourite 5FM feature, The Happy Hour. He will be featuring two mixes on the Roger Goode show on the first Friday of every month beginning on the 5th of June.
The Roger Goode Show hosts the Happy Hour between 18:00-19:00 every week day. This begins with The Goode Mix until 18:20 and then continues with the Ultimix at 18:40, which features a guest or resident DJ. In the case of Black Coffee, he will be featuring for the entire hour once a month. 5FM’s current Happy Hour line-up includes Ryan the DJ on Mondays, alternate 5FM DJ’s on Tuesdays, Pascal and Pearce every Wednesday, an international or local guest DJ on Thursdays and Roger Goode taking on the full hour every Friday.
"Coffee and I have been chatting about doing this for some time now, Fridays on the 5FM Happy Hour will be a great new place for him to showcase his new beats,” says afternoon drive presenter Roger Goode.
Black Coffee launched his career in 2005 after his remix of Hugh Masekela’s hit Stimela created a buzz. Since then he has steadily grown into one of South Africa’s most influential and travelled DJs, playing around the world to sold-out venues.
"I’m excited to be on board with 5FM to bring an exclusive hour long Black Coffee Ultimix to listeners every month. The timing is perfect and I’m looking forward to connecting with the entire 5FM family," says Black Coffee on his new partnership with 5FM.
Don’t forget to tune in on Friday, 5th June for the very first of many Black Coffee ultimixes on 5FM!
