Two Mpumalanga schools are using their brand-new ablution facilities thanks to the collaboration between Good Morning Angels, Breadline Africa and the generous LottoStar!
Just a few weeks ago, we shared the news with Sijabulile Primary in Mbombela and Ian MacKenzi Secondary in Bushbuckridge that they would be assisted by Breadline Africa, who completed the construction in just three weeks, with funding of R1,62 million from LottoStar.
Both schools now have brand-new flush toilets, urinals and handwashing stations. The pit toilets that were still on the premises have also been demolished.
This morning, we catch up with the principal of Sijabulile Primary School, Teresa Maphanga – because we are bringing the Feel Good to the Sijabulile school community on Friday as part of Jacaranda FM’s 40th Birthday Celebration Feel Good Tour! GMA webpage

Ouetehuise en aftree oorde in Gauteng en Mpumalanga was tussen 2015 en 2018 die teikens van gru moorde. Bejaarde vroue wat alleen gebly het, is aangeval, verwurg en beroof in ’n reeks misdade wat begin het met die geldgierigheid van Shaun Oosthuizen. Die kat-en-muis speletjie wat hy en sy mede-pligtiges met die polisie gespeel het, het gelei tot ’n reuse soektog oor provinsiale grense om die aanvalle te stop voor nog ’n vrou haar deur vir die onheil oopmaak.

Agtste Straat in Springs aan die Oos-Rand het in 2017 soos baie ander besige strate regoor Suid-Afrika gelyk - met 'n prokureursfirma, 'n skoonmaakbesigheid, snoepies en ook 'n mans haarkapper af in die straat.
Agter die helder verf op die haarkapper se muur het 'n donker boosheid egter geskuil, wat in 2017 aan die lig gekom het.
Die soektog na 'n vermiste jong meisie en 'n polisieklopjag sou die waarheid oor 'n gruwelike menshandel netwerk oopvlek. Webpage · Find more from JacPod

André het uiteindelik weer liefde gevind en daarna uitgesien om sy aftrede met sy nuwe vrou te deel, saam met haar te reis en rondtes gholf met vriende te geniet. Wat André egter nie geweet het nie, was dat sy hunkering na ’n sorgvrye en liefdevolle aftrede teen hom gebruik sou word en hom sy lewe sou kos. Webpage · Find more from JacPod

What does it really take to handle life when things don’t go to plan?
In this episode of When Shift Happens, host Saray Khumalo sits down with South African adventurer and speaker Sibusiso Vilane to explore what happens beyond the big moments, when the pressure builds, expectations shift, and the outcome is uncertain.
From his early life in rural South Africa to summiting Mount Everest, Sibusiso’s journey is often told through milestones. But this conversation focuses on something deeper: how he has learned to navigate setbacks, manage pressure, and carry himself with humility through both success and failure.
They unpack the mindset required to keep going when things fall apart, how to rebuild confidence, and why grace under pressure is often the real measure of growth.
This is a conversation about resilience, perspective, and the quiet discipline it takes to keep moving forward.
Sibusiso Vilane is a South African adventurer, motivational speaker and author of To the Top From Nowhere. He made history as the first Black African to summit Mount Everest in 2003, and again in 2005 via the more challenging North Ridge route.
He has since completed the Seven Summits and reached both the North and South Poles, becoming the first African to achieve the Explorers Grand Slam.
Raised in a rural village, Sibusiso’s journey from humble beginnings to global recognition continues to inspire audiences worldwide. Through his work as a speaker and mentor, he shares lessons on perseverance, purpose, and the importance of staying grounded, especially in the face of adversity. Saray's website
Die BHI Trust het in 2023 soos ’n huis van kaarte inmekaar getuimel en ’n Ponzi-skema aan die lig gebring waarin meeste van die beleggers alles verloor het. Craig Warriner is eens beskou as ’n gerespekteerde en betroubare belegger wat vir jare lank die geld van miljoenêrs, sowel as gewone Suid-Afrikaners, belê en help groei het. Dit het alles verander een oggend in Oktober 2023 toe die beleggingsballon gebars en die slenter aan die lig gekom het. Derduisende mense se maandelikse dividende het deel geblyk te wees van dié reuse misdaad en hulle lewens en toekoms is vir ewig deur die BHI Trust geraak. Webpage · Find more from JacPod
What does it take to move from survival mode to building a life with purpose?
In this episode of When Shift Happens, Saray Khumalo speaks to Frank “Dr Mags” Magwegwe, researcher, behavioural scientist and financial wellness expert, about the shift from survival to leadership.
As a young man arriving in Johannesburg, Frank found himself homeless and forced into a daily fight for survival. With no safety net and no clear path, he had to make decisions that would shape his future from the ground up.
This conversation explores how that experience shaped his thinking, from the role of education in changing his trajectory to the mindset required to move beyond survival and begin building something sustainable.
It also reflects on leadership through a different lens, grounded in lived experience, as well as the habits and choices that help people regain control and move forward with intention.
Guest bio:
Frank “Dr Mags” Magwegwe is a researcher, keynote speaker, applied behavioural scientist, and resilience and wellbeing expert. His work combines academic insight with lived experience, following a journey from homelessness in Johannesburg to leadership in financial services and academia. He focuses on helping individuals, teams, and organisations navigate adversity, make better decisions, and build sustainable success. Saray's website

Dit was 'n middag in April 2015 toe 'n verhaal oor kindermoorde ontvou het, soos wat nog nooit vantevore in Suid-Afrikaanse howe gesien is nie.
Rehithile Matjane het aangevoer dat 'n kombinasie van alledaagse pille en medikasie daartoe gelei het dat sy haar twee jong seuns koelbloedig na skool in Hammanskraal dood geskiet het. Van hierdie pille was vir erge kopsere en maagkrampe. Of was haar motief dalk baie meer voor die hand liggend? Webpage · Find more from JacPod
No one gets to the top alone.
In this episode of When Shift Happens, Saray Khumalo sits down with Dr Helena Dolny and Totsie Memela-Khambula to explore the role of support, mentorship, and community in shaping strong leadership.
From moments of crisis to career-defining decisions, they reflect on the people who stepped in, stood alongside them, and helped them navigate the hardest climbs.
It’s a conversation about leadership that goes beyond performance. One that centres emotional intelligence, trust, and the understanding that real progress is rarely a solo journey.
Dr Helena Dolny is an accomplished leader, author and organisational change expert, with experience spanning community development across Africa and senior leadership roles in major institutions.

Tienie en Ria Wolmarans het in die 1990s besluit om Botswana toe te trek na die Phakalane buurt in die hoofstad Gaberone, wat hulle gehoor het veiliger was as in Suid-Afrika.

Min het Ria egter geweet dat hierdie hervestiging haar lewe sou kos, en ook daartoe lei dat ’n Suid-Afrikaners in Botswana tereg gestel sou word. Webpage · Find more from JacPod
Failure teaches you more than success ever will.
In this episode of When Shift Happens, Saray Khumalo speaks with Louis Carstens, psychologist, mountaineer and executive, about the lessons that come from being turned back and choosing to go again.
From multiple attempts on Lhotse, the world’s fourth-highest mountain in the Himalayas, to navigating major career shifts, Louis reflects on resilience, ownership and why the most important decisions in your life cannot be outsourced.
“In life, you’ve got to own your life. You’ve got to take accountability. You can’t outsource critical decisions to other people.”
It’s a conversation about what it really takes to keep moving forward when things do not go to plan.

Some leaders speak loudly about success. Others speak quietly about responsibility. Zakhele Mkhize belongs firmly in the second group.
Widely respected in South African business circles, he is not someone who usually seeks the spotlight. In fact, this conversation with Saray Khumalo is the first podcast he has ever recorded.
Zakhele is a Chartered Accountant, entrepreneur and founder of Entsika Consulting, a black-owned advisory firm he established in 2009. Over more than two decades he has built and led businesses across multiple sectors while advising organisations in both the public and private sectors.
Born in rural KwaZulu-Natal, Zakhele worked from a young age to help support his family. He credits education with changing the trajectory of his life and today holds a BCom, BCom Honours, MBA from GIBS and a Master of Divinity, and is currently completing a Doctorate in Business Administration.
In this episode of When Shift Happens, Zakhele reflects on responsibility, humility and what leadership really asks of us. It is a thoughtful conversation about stepping up when the moment calls for it, and about the kind of leadership that grows from character rather than recognition.
When Shift Happens explores how people respond when life shifts beneath their feet and what those moments reveal about resilience, purpose and leadership.

What does real leadership look like when your identity, purpose and certainty are shaken? In this episode of When Shift Happens, Saray Khumalo speaks with Khensani Nobanda, Group Chief Marketing Officer at Nedbank, about the deeply personal shifts that reshaped how she leads, lives and defines success.
Behind one of Africa’s most respected executives is a story of profound loss, difficult decisions and the courage to rebuild from within. Khensani shares how stepping away from her career after her brother’s death, and later navigating further personal tragedy, forced her to confront who she was beyond her title and what kind of leader she wanted to become.
This conversation offers powerful lessons for leaders navigating uncertainty, pressure and change.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
• Why authentic leadership begins with self-awareness
• How personal adversity can reshape your leadership style
• Why vulnerability builds stronger, more trusted teams
• How to separate your identity from your job title
• What it means to lead with purpose, not position
Khensani’s story is a reminder that leadership is not defined in moments of control, but in how you respond when everything shifts. More about Episode 1 · Saray's website

Mevrou moet hospitaal toe gaan vir ‘n mediese prosedure, maar wat vir haar erger is as wat hulle aan haar gaan doen, is die stapel mediese forms wat sy voor die tyd moet invul. Asof dit nie genoeg is dat sy elke maand die derduisende moet opdok vir ’n mediese fonds nie, maak die administratiewe nagmerrie haar sommer naar.

What happens when your first heartbreak is your mother?
In this deeply personal episode, author and coach Moshitadi Lehlomela joins Nozibele Qamngana-Mayaba to talk about the quiet pain many people carry --the mother wound.
Moshitadi shares how she first recognised her own wound at university, when anxiety and depression began to surface.
“I realised that I had a mother wound in varsity,” she says. “I felt alone. I felt defective.”
Nozi opens up with empathy and honesty, creating a safe space for a conversation about pain, forgiveness, and self-discovery. Together, they unpack how childhood wounds resurface in adulthood, how to unlearn toxic patterns, and what it means to mother yourself with compassion.
“You’ve already done great work so far,” Moshitadi reminds listeners. “Maybe the coping mechanisms you developed are not healthy, but you’ve been doing your best trying to protect yourself.”
This conversation is about healing, identity, and finding peace -- even when the love that shaped you also left a scar.
More about Moshitadi Lehlomela
Moshitadi Lehlomela is a writer, coach, and entrepreneur who helps people heal from the mother wound — the deep emotional scars left by maternal pain. She’s the author of The Girl Who Survived Her Mother and Healing the Mother Wound, and through her work she guides others toward self-love, emotional freedom, and breaking generational patterns.

Good Morning Angels is Jacaranda FM’s multi-award-winning community giveback and upliftment initiative, changing lives one Wednesday at a time on Breakfast with Martin Bester. What started as a simple moment of kindness on a morning radio show in 2005 has, over the course of two decades, grown into a powerful expression of the resilience of the human spirit to overcome, a beacon of hope in times of despair, and the inspiration for a legion of Angels who give because they care.
Over the next 20 weeks, Good Morning Angels, The Legacy will tell the stories of some of those who have benefited from the kindness of strangers over the past two decades. They will share how that moment of light impacted their lives in the most beautiful and sometimes unexpected – but always inspiring – ways. It’s the real story after the story, a celebration of 20 years of changed lives told by those who are living it.

In 2019, Sharlene Coopoosammy was hit by a bus in Pretoria, leaving her bedridden for over two years with untreated fractures. With no medical aid and long hospital delays, her dream of walking and working again to support her mother seemed out of reach. This is her story.
15-year-old Wian le Roux cannot cannot talk, stand, or walk. Thanks to Good Morning Angels and Valterra Platinum's Bushveld Classic Golf Day, he will receive much-needed help as well as a new wheelchair.
The annual Bushveld Classic Golf Day, hosted by Valterra Platinum, raises funds to improve the lives of people in need. This year, they have generously offered to assist Michelle by sponsoring the R28,000 needed for Wian’s new wheelchair.
In addition, they will cover the cost of the first three months at the care facility, plus a little extra to help Wian get settled. This brings the total sponsorship from the Bushveld Classic Golf Day and all its supporters to R100,000, enabling Wian and his family to access the essential care and support he needs. GMA webpage

South African men are silently suffering. Many are dying inside, and some are taking their own lives. In this deeply personal episode of Don’t Hold Back, author, poet, and social activist Zonwabele Zola “Blackie” Tshayana opens up about his experience with depression, suicide attempts, and growing up without a father.
He and Nozi speak openly about absent fathers, the hunger for validation, and the silent struggles facing South African men, including the heartbreak and identity crisis rooted in broken homes and systems.
From stigma and suicide to hope, healing, and raising the next generation, this is an essential conversation for anyone invested in the well-being of men, boys, and families.
This episode is about breaking cycles, building identity, and finding truth.
We’re talking truth, pain, healing, and how women can better understand and support the men they love.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the chaos that is dating — the frustrations, the patterns, the disappointments, the occasional glimmers of hope — and how many of us, especially in the straight dating world, seem to be stuck in this endless loop of confusion.
So it got me wondering:
Are these struggles — the ghosting, the miscommunication, the emotional unavailability — just part of the straight dating experience?
Or is this something that crosses the board, no matter who you love or how you identify?
Is it possible that dating is actually easier — or at least different — in the queer community?
Or is it just a whole different set of challenges?
I didn’t want to make assumptions. So, I did what any curious, slightly frustrated person would do:
I called up a few of my queer friends — people I trust, who live and love honestly — and I asked them some questions. I have MANY questions.
Let’s get into it. Podcast page on Jacaranda FM

Danny is someone who gets me. She understands the chaos, the heartbreak, the healing, and everything in between, because she’s been on her own journey too. She shows up with honesty, vulnerability, and zero filter in the best way.
She’s raw. She’s real. She’s warm. She’s wildly talented. And above all, she’s just an authentically great human being.

You know, I’m always talking about dating and how messy it is, and love — and how messy that is too. But really, there’s also a silver lining. And that, of course, is marriage.
Someone I really look up to — who’s done really well at this marriage thing — is Jacaranda FM colleague, Gerda de Sousa. I want to figure out: how does she do it?
It’s been many years, they’re still very much in love, they’ve got a kid… I just want to know how.
Because sometimes, you’ve got to learn from the people who are in the trenches.
(Not that marriage is a trench. Anyway, moving on.)

Jake White and his team are in Dublin hoping to upset the massive odds that are against them in this season’s URC Grand Final and the coach invoked Bloody Sunday and several other lessons for his side to finally be third time lucky and in their first URC title.
Hosts Brenden Nel and Liam del Carme dissect their chances in the showpiece season-ending clash, and we hear from Leinster’s Dan Sheehan and Bulls players Willie le Roux and Akker van der Merwe on what it will take to win the title.
The hosts also muse on the “jersey-gate” storm in a teacup that followed the Boks new training kit this week in Joburg.
This week, I thought to myself—there are a few people who really know me. And then there are two young women who know me the wellest (yes, I know that’s not a word… but we’re going with it).
I’m talking about my daughters, Simone and Zhara, 22 and 20. Becoming a mom to them shaped who I am as a person. So I thought, why not sit down with them and pick their brains about something a little personal: me—and specifically, me dating.
We talk about my dating life, my experiences, and yes, even my marriage. (If you didn’t know, I was married. We’ve been divorced for a long time now.)
I figured it would be fine—because they love me. And also, they kind of have to be nice to me… I’m their mom. We can only hope. Podcast page on Jacaranda FM
This week’s episode is all about audacity. The audacity to speak your truth. The audacity to go after what your heart really wants—even if it’s messy, complicated, or unexpected.
Joining me is Shantelle Engelbrecht, who does exactly that. She’s the force behind Coloured Girls Rock, an incredible Facebook community that’s grown into something massive. It’s a space for the coloured community—men, women, kids—to share, support, and sometimes spill the wildest stories you’ve ever heard.
We talk about being bold, honest, and unafraid to want more. Because honestly, why deny what your heart wants? Why pretend you’re fine when you’re not? Sometimes, if you’re lucky—and just a little bit brave—you might even change your mind.
Let’s see where this one takes us.

In this week’s edition of To the Last Drop, Brenden flies solo and chats all things United Rugby Championship with seasoned Rugby writer Gavin Rich. From what Jaden Hendrikse said to Jack Crowley that caused the heated exchange in the controversial quarterfinal win in Durban to the big semifinal at Loftus Versfeld this weekend, there is a lot to discuss.
Have the Sharks finally got themselves into a position where they can overcome their own demons to make it to the final, or will the Bulls get to their third final in four years? The hosts break it down and make some interesting predictions.
When we think about dating apps or matchmaking services, our minds usually go to the big international names. But what about platforms built specifically for us? For South Africans? This week, we’re looking a little closer to home.
In this episode of Love, Dating and Chaos, I put on my investigator hat—think Sherlock Holmes or Angela Lansbury, but the African edition—and find out if we as South Africans date differently. Because yes, while there are tons of global platforms out there, there are also homegrown options designed with South Africans in mind.
I’m joined by two incredible women who have made a career out of hitching people up. First up is Lieze Wolfaardt, the founder of Smooches, a proudly South African dating app that takes a more thoughtful approach to matching. Then I speak to Michelle De Lange from Mingle—who is, wait for it, a real-life matchmaker. Not an algorithm, not a swipe. An actual human helping other humans find love.
Imagine that.
And just to round things out, I’ve got a story from Xola Ntshinga, who shares his own very weird experience.

Edinburgh coach Sean Everitt insists his team needs to storm out of their castle instead of being preoccupied defending it when they take on the Bulls in their United Rugby Championship quarter-final at Lofts Versfeld on Saturday.
Everitt told the hosts of To The Last Drop his team will have to stick to what has worked for them this season if they are going to optimise their performance in Pretoria.
Edinburgh is undaunted about the task facing them to win at Loftus for the first time and they draw inspiration from compatriots Glasgow Warriors' win in Pretoria in last year's final.
Bulls director of rugby Jake White meanwhile underlined the need for his team to dictate terms from the start of the match. In their last clash against Edinburgh they failed to do so and paid the price.
To The Last Drop hosts predict a difficult afternoon for the Sharks in their clash against Munster but expect the hosts to win in Durban if they exercise good game management.
They expect the Stormers to have their hands full in their clash against the Warriors in Glasgow.

This whole podcast is about love, dating, and the chaos that comes with it. Not just in my life, but in other people's lives too. I'm trying to figure out where I might be going wrong, where I should be looking, what I should be doing, and what people are actually looking for.
I'm part of a WhatsApp group. Who isn't? (That's a whole other podcast.) I thought to myself, you know what, let me throw it out there. I’ll do a bit of a case study and talk to people I don’t know that well about love, dating, and all the trials we go through.
Luckily for me, Geordie and Nirin reached out and came to chat about their experiences in the dating world.
Of course, I had to get a guy’s perspective too. It wouldn’t be fair if it was just women ganging up on the guys. Maybe we as girls are doing something wrong.
Anyway, let’s see.

Teater, rolprente en TV in Afrikaans is sinoniem met hoe dié kultuur by die dag meer divers en kleurvol raak. Die aantal stories wat deesdae op die verhoog en die groot en klein skerm vertel word, is ongekend. So ook het die taal gebruik meer loslit geraak in die dialoog van films om stories te vertel waarmee almal kan identifiseer. Episode drie van 100 Jaar van Afrikaans, begin met die verhaal oor die heel eerste Afrikaanse rolprent wat klank gehad het in 1931.
On this week's 'To The Last Drop' hosts Brenden Nel and Liam Del Carme pay tribute to Springbok and Bulls utility back Cornal Hendricks who passed away this week. Hendricks was a much loved character, as full of life as he was fight. A poor upbringing and a potentially life threatening medical condition did not stand in the way of the dreams. Even after his Test days were numbered he continued to play with his infectious, characteristic smile.
The episode also delves into the Lions failure at reaching the United Rugby Championship quarterfinals for the fourth straight year.
The hosts close the show with predictions for the final round of league matches in the URC.
I’ve tried dating apps to see what’s out there. I usually go in hopeful, thinking there must be someone for me. Apparently, there’s not. But I don’t think the problem is me - I think people are messy. Some of them probably shouldn’t be dating at all.
Luckily, I have a great bestie—Stacey Norman. She’s a long-term relationship kind of girl, a true serial dater. I’ve always admired that. She’s dated, I haven’t - and I’ve started to wonder: is it me? What am I doing wrong?
So I asked her. I needed honest feedback from someone who knows and loves me. Ideally, she tells me it’s not me, men suck - and oh, she’s found me a boyfriend.
Let’s hold thumbs.

In Afrikaans se verjaarsdag maand vier ons sport se bydrae tot die skep van nuwe woorde. Dit was juis 'n toets tussen die Springbokke en Nieu-Seeland meer as 'n honderd jaar terug wat noodgedwonge gelei het tot uitdink van die woord "skepskop" - die sport was daar, maar te min Afrikaanse woorde om oor die toets te skryf. In Episode twee van hierdie mini potgooi reeks vertel van die groot name in die media bedryf hoe die Afrikaanse media die taal help slyp het.
Afrikaans vier in 2025 ’n honderd jaar as amptelike landstaal. Terwyl daar makietie gehou word, is dit egter nie duidelik presies wanneer en waar Afrikaans gebore is nie.
Die eerste kommunikasie tussen plaaslike inwoners en destydse seevaarders was wel wat ons vandag beskou as die eerste kontak met Afrikaans. In hierdie episode, delf die Jacranda FM Nuus span se Marlinée Fouché diep - opsoek na Afrikaans se wortels en sy volg die taal se takke wat wyd strek…..

Club rugby steps out of the shadows and into sharp focus on this week's edition of 'To The Last Drop'. The community game has long operated on the periphery but it is slowly reclaiming its place in the game's eco-system. Special guest on the show is former Pirates Rugby Club Chairman and marketing and sponsorship guru Brad Guymer who shares his thoughts on the revitalisation of club rugby and runs the rule over sponsorship bonanza the Springboks recently concluded.

Retired Chief Justice Raymond Zondo stands as a cornerstone of South Africa’s post-apartheid judiciary. In this episode, he reflects on his journey—from his early days in legal practice to his leadership in the judiciary, including his pivotal role in the landmark State Capture Commission.
Justice Zondo explores what he considers the most significant legal milestone of his tenure: the Constitutional Court’s ruling in the contempt of court case involving former President Jacob Zuma. He explains why this decision was critical in reinforcing the principle that no one is above the law and in safeguarding the judiciary’s independence from political pressure.
Beyond landmark rulings, Justice Zondo discusses the ongoing challenge of maintaining judicial independence through the appointment of individuals with unwavering integrity and the mechanisms that ensure accountability. Looking ahead, he shares his thoughts on the potential role of AI in the courtroom and the future of justice in a rapidly evolving world.
This episode provides a rare opportunity to hear firsthand from one of South Africa’s most influential legal minds on the complexities, triumphs, and responsibilities of upholding the rule of law in a modern democracy.

The Stormers' scrum will come under intense scrutiny when they clash with the Bulls in the United Rugby Championship on Saturday, agreed 'To The Last Drop' hosts Liam Del Carme and Brenden Nel.

His team took a lot of confidence from their podium finish at the Paris Olympics, Blitzboks coach Philip Snyman argues ahead of the World Sevens Series in Dubai.
He believes his team will also be ready to handle the pressure of playing in Cape Town next week.
They will however be without the hugely influential Selvyn Davids who is injured but Snyman told the 'To the Last Drop' podcast they have sufficient contingencies in place to mitigate the blow.
Snyman also chuckles at the notion he might have picked up World Coach of the Year award had his team instead of France gone all the way at the Paris Olympics. He believes Boks coach Rassie Erasmus is more deserving of the accolade.
World Player of the Year, Pieter-Steph du Toit, also explains what winning the award a second time means to him.

They were at opposite ends of a bitter spat during the British & Irish Lions tour of South Africa in 2021 but Rassie Erasmus and Warren Gatland have since cleared the air.
Erasmus and Gatland will again pit their coaching wits against each other when the Boks take on Wales at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on Saturday.
There appears to be no hangover from the Lions' series and Erasmus in fact, on this week's episode of 'To the Last Drop' comes out to bat for the beleaguered Gatland who has seen his Wales team suffer 11 straight defeats. It is Wales' longest losing streak.

Presenters Brenden Nel and Liam Del Carme fired wide ranging questions at the veteran rugby administrator, in particular SA Rugby's much publicised proposed equity deal with the Ackerley Sports Group (ASG). Oberholzer reaffirmed SA Rugby's need to enter an equity agreement and he explained why ASG was their preferred bidder.
Oberholzer also laid bare what SA's competition structure might look like if all the balls in the air fall into place and why the country can't afford to only have four professional teams.

In our busy lives, finding a balance between work and personal time can feel almost impossible. In this episode, Elana chats with life coach Lori Milner about how we can bring more peace into our daily routines, prevent burnout and find more work-life balance.
Lori suggests thinking less about 'balance' and more about 'prioritising' what matters. This shift can help us manage stress before it builds up. Lori says stress is often linked to our mindset, and so by adjusting our outlook and the words we use, we can transform stressful moments.
Lori also highlights the role of coaching in the workplace and the importance of creating a 'safe space' for vulnerability and growth. Lori's website

Hosts Liam Del Carme and Brenden Nel note scrumhalf Faf de Klerk's absence from the Bok squad to tour the United Kingdom, but they agree it is a very powerful 34-man squad.

After Alison Botha survived rape and mutilation and the hands of two Satanists (she was stabbed in the abdomen 37 times, disembowelled, and her throat slit 17 times) - she employed the same willpower she did when she crawled from the bushes to the roadside, to deny her attackers any emotional hold over her, by refusing to be a victim.

Rugby, as vehicle for delivering a spectacle, is on as smooth a path as it has ever been professor Ross Tucker tells this week's edition of To The Last Drop. The renowned sports scientist who sits on a World Rugby committee tasked with player well-being, especially in relation to concussion, says players are now less likely to suffer catastrophic injury than ever before.

Is there space in the workplace to discuss our feelings?
In today’s fast-paced world, it's easy to feel like you have to push through every challenge alone. But in this episode of Mind @ Work, Elana Afrika-Bredenkamp and Roshni Parbhoo-Seetha from the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG) emphasise the power of reaching out when you need it most.
They talk about why it’s so important to "press that panic button"—not just when you're in crisis, but even on those days when things feel slightly off. Mental health is as vital as physical health, yet stigma still surrounds the idea of asking for help, especially in the workplace.

Our 'To The Last Drop' hosts agree the Springboks have much to atone in this Saturday's Rugby Championship decider against Argentina in Nelspruit. They fell agonisingly short in rural Argentina last weekend but our hosts concur that defeat cannot be placed at the door of just one player.

Coaching guru and popular television pundit Swys de Bruin may have put down the microphone but he sat down with the To The Last Drop team as they looked ahead to the Springboks' clash next weekend against the All Blacks.
De Bruin says he is surprised former captain Sam Cane remains in the All Blacks set-up, adding he has not seen a significant change in the way the three-time Rugby World Cup winners go about their business under Scott Robertson.
De Bruin warned that they remain redoubtable opposition but that the Springboks have gone from strength to strength since winning the Rugby World Cup.
A 49-year-old Vanderbijlpark dad and husband, Emil Krügel, was a happy, healthy man - until 16 days ago, when he woke up unable to walk.
His wife, Sonia, drove him to the local hospital, not knowing what to expect as he was fine when they went to bed the night before.
Emil was diagnosed with Gillian Barre Syndrome (GBS), a condition probably caused by an infection - that leads to the immune system attacking the body itself.
The Good Morning Angels fund got the ball rolling to assist the Krügel family with Emil's medical bills with a donation of R100,000. GMA webpage
Our hosts this week corner former Bok centre and television pundit Gcobani Bobo. They look ahead to this weekend's Rugby Championship Test between the Springboks and the Wallabies in Perth. Bobo is thoroughly enthused by the much-changed Bok line-up, arguing the World Champions now boast depth that other teams cannot match.
Bobo is also pushed down memory lane about his time Perth, the city where he regrettably, never played a Test.

Jacaranda FM’s very own Sascha van Gelder reached out to Good Morning Angels to assist Pediatric Care Africa's Burns Unit - a project that is very close to her heart since her own son was a burn victim at only 18 months old.
Winter is coming and with it, the need for warmth. For many South Africans, this means fires, paraffin stoves and heaters, which increase the danger of burns and injury - especially for children.
In Mpumalanga, there is currently no paediatric burns unit at a state facility, to cater for young burns patients whose parents cannot afford private health care, but this is about to change!
The Lowveld-based NPO Pediatric Care Africa has been raising funds and putting in the hours and skills to set up a paediatric burns unit next to the paediatric surgery unit at Rob Ferreira Hospital in Mbombela.
"All Children have the absolute right to a healthy life. Everyone should have access to health care, without financial, social, cultural or geographical barriers,” says Dr André Hatting, founder of Pediatric Care Africa.
Dr Hatting has designed or built 12 hospitals in different parts of Africa, so he knows what is needed and how it should be done. However, this is a self-funded project, that they have been able to mostly complete. They are still in need of a few key items, like specialised steel baths and glass doors, to prevent bacteria and germs from reaching future vulnerable patients. They also need funding for consumables and rehab of little patients.
That's why Jacaranda FM’s own Sascha van Gelder reached out to Good Morning Angels on behalf of this project, which turns out to be very close to her heart... GMA webpage

At only three months old, baby Aylah Botha has been hospitalised with Meningitis, COVID-19, and breathing difficulty, and, recently, her parents received the diagnosis that their baby has two life-threatening holes in her heart.
Baby Aylah Botha from Pretoria is three months old today. She is her mom Jua-Rike and dad JJ’s first little bundle of joy. Like most new parents, they counted the weeks to her birth with love and excitement.
Everything went so well, although she had some infant jaundice, which is very common in newborns, and then she got ill.
At three weeks of age, she was in hospital with Meningitis, COVID-19, and breathing difficulties.
She constantly struggles with her immune system and oxygen levels, and then her parents got the diagnosis that her heart had two holes, causing her little body to work harder to perform normal functions.
Initially, it was hoped that the holes would close, but now, they have become life-threatening and baby Aylah will have to undergo heart surgery within the next month, as soon as her weight picks up a little more than the four kilograms she currently weighs.
Mom Jua-Rike has been by her side all along and cannot return to work as a hairdresser. Dad JJ works to keep the family going and to afford their medical aid.
Even though they have medical cover, they have to pay 25% of the bill before she is operated on. With their medical aid already depleted and their co-payment projected to be over R100,000, friends and family have rallied around this young family and reached out to Good Morning Angels for assistance.

Aniya Holder is a talented speed climber on her way to this year's Olympics in Paris!
Aniya Holder, 22, from Gqeberha has only recently realised that she has an extraordinary talent for speed climbing! She can "run-crawl" up a 15-meter wall in 11-point-33 seconds!
She's been doing other wall climbing disciplines, bouldering and lead, since she was 14, but two major injuries: broken fingers in 2021 and an elbow injury in 2022, put an end to it. Her coach then suggested she try speed climbing... and she's never looked back.
Her knack for scaling a wall at a very fast pace lead her to the South African National and African Continental speed climbing championships.
She qualified for the Olympic Games in December last year and it has taken over her life!
She prepares for the games in her hometown, where she works at a small Bouldering Gym with a six-meter high wall as a route setter, coach, and hold shaper. She's also an artist - but this has moved to the back burner in recent months.
There is only one 15-meter Olympic standard wall in South Africa and that's in Johannesburg. Aniya travels between the Eastern Cape and Gauteng by bus, whenever she can afford it, to train on the kind of wall that she will be facing in Paris.
READ: Lending a helping hand for children with special needs
She also has to fund her plane ticket to Paris and everything else she needs to represent South Africa from her own pocket.
Aniya has never been overseas and her mode of transport at home is a bicycle - so this can all be very overwhelming, but her friend has started a fundraising page and she's going full steam to achieve her goal of making it to the Olympic podium in Paris and to making her country proud.
REQUEST FOR: Aniya Holder
ANGEL: Everest Wealth, represented by Lundi Coetzee
SPONSORING: Everest Wealth want to support Aniya on her road to Paris in 2024. They will sponsor her flights to and from Johannesburg for training sessions leading up to the Olympic Games. They will also cover her flights to and from Paris and some spending money, with a total sponsorship of R100,000! GMA webpage

Good Morning Angles will assist the Blouberg Donkey Care Workers Initiative with a donation of R70,000 toward their spaza shop and invaluable work in the community.
The Blouberg District is an area in rural Limpopo. The nearest "big" town is Bochum, some 100 kilometres northwest of Polokwane.
In the ten villages in this area, members of the Bahanawa tribe live a simple life, with donkeys their main means of every day transport of people and goods. Donkeys are a vital part of the community's existence and perform essential tasks without which the community cannot do.
Three years ago, veterinarians Dr Isabel Meyer, Prof Leanne Scott and Dr Quixi Sonntag recognised the need for healthcare services for the working donkeys of the Blouberg community.
They established a non-profit organisation to train and support community members to provide essential health services for their animals. They trained 20 community members as Donkey Care Workers (DCWs) to help with the health and care needs of the working donkeys in the area and supplement their own income. The DCWs have so far assisted with the care of over 1130 donkeys.
To further the project, they are in dire need of a spaza-shop structure or container that can be used to supply animal health care products as well as basic supplies to the villagers. That’s why a colleague of dr Isabel wrote to Good Morning Angels for assistance.

Daai dae van hare klits en ‘perm’, die plakkate teen die kamermuur, die groot oorbelle en baie pienk grimering, voel soos nou die dag. En hulle ken dan steeds al die woorde van al die treffers van 80’s! In hierdie episode van Mevrou Mevrou, dink Gerda de Sousa en Dianne Broodryk met nostalgie terug aan die onskuldige dae van hulle skool jare, toe musiek alles was en die prys van haarprodukte hulle grootste probleem ….

Good Morning Angels assisted the Van Dyk Park CPI with R25,000 towards their medical kits and other community service projects.
Communities across the country have been mobilising themselves against crime over the past years in the form of Community Policing Forums or Initiatives. There are currently over 300 registered CPIs, made up of volunteers and which are fully self-funded. One of these is the Van Dyk Park CPI, between Boksburg and Brakpan on the East Rand.
The 20 patrollers volunteer their time, skills, and own resources to serve their community of around two thousand households as first responders in all manner of crises, from crime to injuries, electricity issues, and vehicle crashes.
The Van Dyk Park CPI was started some eight years ago when incidents of crime became overwhelming and the local police resources just could not cope.
On their own steam and with the support from residents, the CPI has, over the years, set up a control room, cameras in hotspots like areas where cables are regularly stolen, 400 radios in different homes and community concerns, bought a tractor to cut their own sidewalks and public lawns, and they have 20 patrollers who "patrol the streets at night and during the day… we help the community in need, we have a WhatsApp group for emergencies, from crime to anything.”
They also assist the residents in the old age home, take food parcels to residents in need, and assist the authorities with crime prevention and traffic control after vehicle accidents.
CPI committee member Alida Jordaan has been involved for the past six years. She says their patrollers are often the first responders at medical emergencies: “Many of our residents do not have medical aid, and they cannot afford private ambulance services. To wait for state services can take up to six hours, and quick action can be the difference between life and death."
For this reason, eight of their patrollers have received First Aid Training, which was sponsored, but now they need medical kits that could cost up to R4,000 each. That’s why community member Charlene Kotze wrote to Good Morning Angels. GMA webpage
Die een oomblik het Mevrou nog in die branders baljaar en die volgende oomblik het haar Desember vakansie in een ontaard met ‘n allergiese reaksie. Sy moet nou die realiteit in die gesig staar dat sy moontlik allergies geraak het vir skulpvis – een van haar gunsteling disse. In hierdie episode van Mevrou Mevrou, wonder Gerda de Sousa en Dianne Broodryk hoekom mens nie eerder allergies kan raak vir iets wat jou dwars in die krop steek nie …….

The Good Morning Angels Fund will get the ball rolling with a contribution of R100,000 towards Charlette Jackson's medical treatment.
Durell Barnett, 39, is a hardworking chef, dad to eight-year-old Declan, and son of 68-year-old Charlette Jackson. This, in short, is who and what he lives for.
Charlette lives with Durell and Declan, as he has been caring for his mom for many years. Durell is a single dad to Declan, so the three of them are a happy and loving little family.
In the middle of January this year, Charlette was diagnosed with cancer in her throat. She has a cancerous growth near her main artery that needs to be removed as it is life-threatening.
The family does not have medical aid and they were advised against going to the State Hospital, due to the urgency and severity of the situation.
After the surgery, Charlette needs to receive radiation, after which the doctor believes she would have a better than 70% chance to heal completely.
The projected cost of the treatment is a whopping R500,000, which Durell and his mom simply cannot afford.
Durell sold his car to afford the initial scans and to make a start. His friends and colleagues jumped into action and in the space of a few weeks, were able to raise an amazing R315,000!
Charlette is going into theatre on Wednesday for surgery to remove the cancerous growth before it breaches the artery in her throat.
They are still R185,000 short of the full treatment, and that’s why they reached out to Good Morning Angels. GMA webpage
Dis die maand van liefde en die Mevrouens wil nou nie uit voel nie. Hulle moet egter toegee dat Valentyns Dag nie juis die hoogtepunt van hulle liefdeslewe is nie, na meer as 20 jaar van getroude lewe. Maar dit beteken nie die liefde is ‘n uitgebluste vlam in hierdie twee se huise nie.

In this episode of 'Don't Hold Back', host Nozibele Qamngana-Mayaba engages in a compelling conversation with South African artist Seth Pimentel about his journey with mental health and art.

Seth says that art gave him a powerful outlet to express his true feelings when he felt like isolating himself. Seth also discusses the importance of dialogue about mental health among men, emphasising that it is not a sign of weakness or lack of masculinity. He underscores the importance of seeking professional help when needed.

We invented tech to make our lives easier, not replace us! And with the development of AI, our lives are already impacted. But by how much?
Global speaker, TEDx veteran, author, and Futurist Graeme Codrington provides Don’t Hold Back’s Nozibele Qamngana-Mayaba with the hard facts on some of the disrupting forces shaping our future work.
Qamngana-Mayaba asks Codrington whether, with all these rapid advancements in Artificial Intelligence, South Africans, who already face challenging employment prospects, should be worried about more job losses.
They also delve into what AI is and what it is not, explore Chat GPT's essence, discuss upcoming exciting developments to watch out for.
Qamngana-Mayaba also seeks advice from Codrington on how to stay ahead or at least keep up with AI advances.
“Chat GPT is probably a good second-year student: it thinks it knows everything, they’re learning how to communicate it. Actually, they know very little,” says Codrington.
In this wide-ranging interview, the two also cover:
•The South African general elections in 2024 and predictions.
•Our aversion to change.
•Cultural influences.
•And, surprisingly, ice cream!

Die Mevrouens besef Kersfees is op ons, maar dit beteken nie dat hulle so heeltemal op Kersfees is nie. Gerda de Sousa en Dianne Broodryk besef dat daar min dae is om die Kersfees gees te vang en alles te doen wat op die prioriteits lys is.

What began as a way to pass time during COVID-19 lockdowns has become a calling card for Tumi Mmope: she's now an award-winning TikToker and content creator. And it all started with her local neighbourhood WhatsApp chat group.

But not everybody has success on social media platforms, and Don’t Hold Back host Nozibele Qamngana-Mayaba quizzes Tumi on what makes an account special, where she thinks South Africa ranks in terms of global content creation, how it all began for Tums – and the downside of achieving success.

Content creator, author, HIV activist, and "Don't Hold Back" podcast host, Nozibele Qamngana-Mayaba, is a new mother, and she was taken aback by the sudden highs and lows of this new journey.
Many young women fight a silent battle against postpartum depression.
To help break the stigma surrounding the so-called 'baby blues', Nozi's joined this time on "Don't Hold Back" by radio personality, bestselling author, and life coach Sam Cowan, who recounts her own motherhood journey and struggles with depression.
“I wanted women to know they weren't alone...There is such pressure on us to be perfect,” Sam tells Nozi in this second episode of Season Two of the award-winning podcast.
"It's [motherhood] is the biggest thing you'll ever do, and it's the thing you get judged the most on," says Sam.
"When people say, 'What can I do to help?', or, 'I'll do anything to help!' - give them things to do!"
If you're a new mom trying to come to terms with this new journey, this episode is a must-listen. It's filled with lots of great, non-judgemental advice to help support new moms as they navigate this new journey; plus, of course, lots of Sam's trademark humour.

Just a heads up: there is some swearing in this episode.

n the final episode of this season of Legal Luminaries, retired Gauteng judge president and former Tax Ombud Bernard Ngoepe shares his story of growing up in a rural village in Polokwane to serving as a Judge for 18 years.
From his early days tending sheep and cattle – having grown up in a rural village in Polokwane – to a stellar record for his participation in and contributions to human rights and the rule of law in South Africa and abroad, Judge Ngoepe is a pillar of pragmatism and wisdom.
He tells renowned journalist and author Iman Rappetti that one of his biggest life lessons has been finding compassion for his oppressors and using the lessons learned from the past to prevent making the same mistakes in the future.
Judge Ngoepe also shares his insights on the need for a predictable judiciary and the need for law reform in certain areas. He aptly notes that for any justice system to work, the laws must serve its people.
In this episode of Legal Luminaries, anti-apartheid activist and former Constitutional Court judge, Zak Yacoob, shares his personal and professional life story. From experiencing life as a blind person – having lost his sight at 16 months as a result of meningitis – to seeing and overcoming his own prejudices as a young student and man, Judge Yacoob is both candid, humorous, and authentic in this Legal Luminaries podcast interview.
He says that after completing his LLB degree at the University of Durban-Westville in 1972, he tried in vain to get articles at over 30 law firms. When he realised he wasn't getting a foot in the door, he changed his plan – and that has made all the difference in his life.
Judge Jacoob also gives his opinion on some of the challenges and pitfalls in South African society today, including corruption and the judiciary, and shares his dreams of a social revolution for South Africans.
More about Judge Yacoob:
Retired Justice Zak Yacoob has been blind from infancy and studied at the Arthur Blaxall School for the Blind in Durban. In service as judge of the Constitutional Court of South Africa from 1998 to 2013, he became known nationally and internationally for his contribution to the socio-economic rights jurisprudence of South Africa. After his retirement, he received the 2013 Felicia and Sydney Kentridge Award for Service to the Law in Southern Africa and was awarded five honorary doctorates from the Universities of Fort Hare, KwaZulu-Natal, Witwatersrand, Pretoria, and the Free State.

“I went from office to office, mostly white law firms and mostly got the same answer. 'We cannot give you a job because we cannot have white secretaries taking instructions from a black person'…” – Judge Navi Pillay
In this episode of Legal Luminaries, Judge Navi Pillay reflects on her journey into the judiciary, the milestones achieved during the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the duty judges have on the bench.
In 1967, Judge Pillay became the first non-white woman to open her own law practice in Natal Province; while years later she was the first non-white woman judge of the High Court of South Africa. Judge Pillay served as the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights from 2008 to 2014.
Speaking to Iman Rappetti in this JacPod Original podcast, in collaboration with Juta, Judge Pillay also shares her perspectives on the imperative surrounding the protection of our Constitution and democracy.
Judge Pillay currently holds positions as Judge Ad Hoc of the International Court of Justice in the Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the crime of Genocide (The Gambia v Myanmar), President, International Commission Against the Death Penalty, Madrid, President Advisory Council of the International Nuremberg Principles Academy, Chair of UN/HRC Independent Commission of Inquiry into Israel and Palestine, Member, Africa Group for Justice and Accountability and Co-Convenor, Donor Direct Action, New York.

Judge Khampepe has had a rich legal career and is especially renowned for defending the rights of workers against unfair employment practices.
Om te spuit, of nie te spuit nie … dít is die gewigtige vraag wat Gerda de Sousa en Dianne Broodryk oorweeg, want ‘n vullertjie hier en ‘n plukkie of ‘n pompie daar is klaarblyklik deesdae ook glad nie meer ‘n skande nie. Dis nou nie asof iemand hulle direk in die gesig gevat het nie, maar die Mevrouens is nie dom nie – hulle kan mos tussen die lyne lees.

Geen Mevrou se lewe is volmaak as daar nie ten minste een keer ‘n dag oor beurtkrag gekla kan word nie. Dit klink deesdae al hoe meer idillies om te kan lewe sonder ‘n tradisionele Eskom krag aansluiting en om nie meer hartkloppings te hoef kry as die nuwe beurtkrag probleme op die buurt se Whatsapp groepie deurkom nie.

Almal is skelms! Niemand gee meer ‘n flenter om vir iemand anders nie … dit voel soms so, maar is dit nie lekker as die teendeel gebeur nie?

Die Mevrouens is natuurlik kenners oor hoe om die perfekte verjaarsdag partytjie te reël.
Maar 2023 is ‘n tameletjie van ‘n verjaarsdag jaar, want die kinders is nou ouer, partytjies is nie meer die in-ding nie en ewe skielik slaan die realiteit van oud word baie hard.

Ons weet almal van die slaggate wat sommer oornag op ons gereelde paaie inval – veral na ‘n lekker reënbui. Die Mevrouens is parrate bestuurders en word nie sommer gevang nie.

In this last episode of the limited podcast series, News Editor: Radio at Kagiso Media, Marius van der Walt, takes a look at the newly elected ANC top structure and its impact on the party and the country .....

In this episode, we're talking about money and success, something we all aspire to but something that is often the downfall of many. Henry Ford once remarked “Money doesn’t change a person, it merely unmasks them. If a person is naturally selfish, arrogant or greedy, the money brings that out, that’s all.” Today more than ever we are surrounded by people who have the trappings of success, and you need not look any further than our political elite who have lost touch with their people in pursuit of absolute wealth. Our roads are full of expensive cars and our malls have become the window to our aspirations, yet the wealth and success that has been created are often at the expense of others, and at the expense of our societal values. So the question is, can you have both money and success?
In this episode we're talking about Money and Friendships, the two often being described as oil and water, in that they simply do not mix well. We all have that friend who is either always asking for a loan, in debt, or very slow to bring out their wallet when you go out for drinks or dinner. There is hardly a social circle that does not have this phenomenon, and the reality is that not only can this be a major strain on a friendship, but because this is your circle of influence, it's important to deal with the money and friendship issue decisively. In this episode, we'll give you some much-needed perspective on the issue, and we're going to help you unpack the value of your friendships around money. Website · Facebook page · YouTube channel
Bridging the unemployment gap and teaching young South African women key fundamental entrepreneurship skills. Mastercard has teamed up with Junior Achievement South Africa to help bridge the unemployment gap and teach young South African women key fundamental entrepreneurship skills to equip them in running, managing and maintaining successful businesses.
It is no secret that the South African labour force has been struggling and has experienced more woes due to the negative impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. As it stands statistics show that the unemployment rate is currently 32,6% and 46,4% of the population referred to in this statistic are actually young people aged 15 –35. A serious cause for concern.
Brent Lindeque is joined today by Kamini Redhi, who is the Marketing and Communications Director at Mastercard Southern Africa alongside Nelly Mofokeng, Managing Director at JASA to discuss how the two organisations have teamed up to be a force for good, helping young women entrepreneurs open and grow their small businesses.
In a recent survey of soon-to-be parents, 83% of respondents indicated that their two biggest fears around having kids was the health of their newborn child, and how they would afford the addition to the family. In fact, the overwhelming majority of people more concerned about the financial impact of having kids. When it comes to the financial impact of having children many couples are now waiting till later in life to establish themselves financially before having children, with many couples completely put off the idea of having kids at all. In this episode we want to give you a different perspective on raising children, and why it need not be as expensive as you might expect. We’ll also provide some tips on how to manage your finances around having children. Website · Facebook page · YouTube channel

Children learn far more from the things we do than the things we say, but often the things we say in passing are also the lessons that stick.

With life expectancy on the rise thanks to better health care, disease control and less physically demanding jobs, most people now face the prospect of living longer. In this episode we are talking about living a long life, and how to plan for this financially. The problem is that whilst life expectancy is on the rise, financial planning around extended life expectancy has not quite caught up, and it is expected that in the next 50 years fewer and fewer pension plans will be able to support the ageing populations of the world, and so now more than ever it has become essential to create a financial plan that could support you living to a 100 and beyond. Join us for this episode as we discuss how to create a retirement plan that will outlive you and continue to provide returns f or your family long after you are gone.

Nobody really likes to talk about death, but the fact is none of us is going to escape it, so we may as well plan for it.

Imagine being newly matriculated and going on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Antarctica with world-renowned global explorer, Riaan Manser? For five matrics, this will become a reality in January.
The 'Matrics in Antarctica' competition provided every single matric student in South Africa with the chance to enter to become one of the five lucky matriculants to go on a five-day scientific adventure to Antarctica.
On entry, participants had to answer the question: “What will exploration of the Antarctic continent do to help us preserve a greener, more sustainable existence on our planet?”
The study tour will be led by Manser and a distinguished team of professors from the University of Stellenbosch.

In this episode, we are talking about retirement and specifically how to retire rich and happy. In the "old days", most people considered retirement a destination you reached at the end of your working life, and for most people, this has always been somewhere between the ages of 55 and 65, but things have changed a lot in the last 3 decades. Now more than ever people are retiring early, by saving and investing aggressively to obtain financial freedom and choosing to spend less time working and more time pursuing hobbies and passion projects in their old age. In this episode, we are going to unpack how you can retire rich and happy. Website · Facebook page · YouTube channel
In this episode, we are talking about retirement planning. It's not a sexy subject and it certainly is not the most popular subject, but that's exactly why you need to listen and pay close attention to this episode. Retirement planning is something that most people put off way into their thirties and by the time they realise they need to plan for retirement it often requires such drastic lifestyle changes that most people simply continue to ignore the disaster ahead. With our increase in life expectancy, it is anticipated that most people will live close to 90 and if you factor in that most people will retire at around age 65, that means you have 25 years of living expenses you need to make provision for from your earnings today. This coupled with the fact that a recent survey of first world countries and their pension schemes anticipates that pension funds will only be able to support 45% of retirees in the next 50 years, so the question is what can you do to make sure you have a secure financial retirement plan.

Coming face-to-face with a serial killer is the stuff of nightmares for most, but for former crime reporter Janine Lazarus it was the interview of a lifetime. Our fifth and final episode is a Q&A with 'BAIT To Catch a Killer' author Janine Lazarus, with news editor Marius van der Walt asking some of the questions we all want to know of someone who’s had this experience. The first time Lazarus locked eyes with Norwood serial killer Kobus Geldenhuys was just after he was sentenced to death 27 years ago. Twelve years later, and long after Lazarus had left the newsroom, he applied for his first parole. Janine wrote a story for The Star: ‘God help us if he gets parole.’ The Criminal Minds series on MNet around 1997 was her third link to him. “We filmed one of his re-enacted rape and murder scenes in my flat in Norwood.” Geldenhuys has recently applied for his fourth parole. A TV series on Janine’s story is in pre-production and development. JacPod page

In this episode, we answer the questions around money and influence and help you make some life-changing decisions around your circle of influence.

Are they a real production company? No. Have they made a documentary before? No. Are they prepared to drive 2 Tuk-Tuks from the Equator to Cape Town?… Ummm, that would be a 'No' as well.
Having spent time making videos in some of Kenya’s incredible wild spaces Robbie, Ivo, Jasper and Josh realised the people protecting these spaces were struggling. The Rangers. These heroes help maintain the balance between communities and wildlife but as the tourism industry has taken a hit due to the pandemic, so has their funding.
Armed with only filming equipment and a microphone, how could they help?
The answer was clear.
Spend the last of their savings on two tuk-tuks, cover them in sponsorship stickers and make a documentary driving from Kenya to Cape Town in these ridiculous three-wheeled machines.
This interview will leave you in stitches… and totally inspired. Tuk South website · Donate for rangers

In episode 3 of 'To Catch a Serial Killer', author Janine Lazarus and news editor Marius van der Walt speak to respected clinical psychologist Leonard Carr about the Norwood serial killer and about what drives someone to commit the most fundamental taboo – murder.
Carr was the clinical psychologist Janine quotes at length in her book, 'BAIT To Catch a Killer'. He made his name doing expert commentary during the Oscar Pistorius trial. Importantly, Carr was the person Janine turned to when her crime reporting became too much.
In this episode we will also explore questions such as: • Is there such a thing as someone who is pure evil? • How does a psychopath think? • Why do so many women have a fascination for the true crime genre and with the dark side of things? • What drove Janine to break so many rules as a journalist in the manhunt for Kobus Geldenhuys?

Small businesses are the backbone of South Africa’s economy. They have an enormous impact, providing a livelihood for many while advancing financial inclusion to reduce poverty and boost prosperity.
Covid-19 has had an adverse effect on small businesses and business owners have been left either having to shut down operations or adapt to the new normal. SME’s have been the hardest hit since the pandemic and have had to pivot their business approaches and adjust to the new normal, with many having to go digital. For many SME’s moving businesses operations online has been a lifeline to retaining staff and continuing to operate. Mastercard has teamed up with PayFast to launch a “shop local” campaign that aims to elevate SMEs and their ingenuity, inspiring South Africans to get behind local businesses through safe and convenient online shopping. And to discuss this today, Brent Lindeque is joined by Kamini Redhi, who is the Marketing and Communications Director at Mastercard Southern Africa, as well as Colleen Harrison who the Head of Marketing at PayFast.

Has news reporting become better or worse? When Janine Lazarus worked in news in the early 1990s, there was no Internet, no access to mobile phones, no social media. It was boots to the ground kind of stuff.
While traditional reporting relies on hard facts, gonzo journalism takes readers or listeners a step inside the mind and feelings of the reporter as the story unfolds. It’s written without objectivity, often including a reporter as part of the story using a first-person narrative. In Janine's case, the police used her flat as a surveillance point at the height of Geldenhuys’ reign of terror. They also used her to try to lure the killer. And that breaks every rule in the traditional journalism guidebook to stay out of the story.
In episode two, Janine and Marius are joined by Anton Harber, the Caxton Professor of Journalism (Adjunct) at the University of the Witwatersrand. Harber has a 35-year career in journalism, media management and training. In a wide-ranging discussion, the three look at how sourcing news/news coverage has changed since the early 90s. Have new communication technologies revitalised the public sphere? Or have they become the commercial tool for an increasingly un-public, undemocratic news media? JacPod page

They are very often family men with sinister secrets. They take care of abused animals; can be a community’s much-loved babysitter; open support groups for drug addiction, etc. Are people born serial killers, or is it their upbringing that makes them into what they become?

They are a Canadian band, a group of great humans who have recently spent a few month touring and exploring South Africa!
Their song 'Life without fantasies' went massive here, thanks to TikTok and so, they packed their bags and came over to travel, perform and even record some new music!
Danny hooked up with them to chat about it all, and her crush on their Canadian friend!
Elsubie Verlinden is a name you will recognise if you have ever been involved in the modelling industry bot locally and abroad.
A well recognised model, she built an empire around her knowledge and passion for an industry that, sometimes, wasn't so kind to her.
Danny sat down with her and spoke about it all, the love, the loss, the passion and how she went from growing up in a caravan park, to being one of the most sought after agents in across two continents!
Ladies and gentlemen, Elsubie!
TW: Addiction, narcotic use, dependancy, drugs, mental health disorders.
Lean, a mixture of coedine cough stryp and soda, sometimes with jelly sweets, that according to urban Dictionary gets you 'high as f*&k'.
Danny has done it, more than once and according to a new study, the effects of 'lean' are long lasting and could be potentially harmful to your mental health!
David Beyever, a pharmacist involved in a #LeanOnme campaign to educate the youth around the abuse of the substance joined Danny to explain the dangers and what you need to look out for.
Imagine being an 'in demand; Hollywood producer, working with incredible stars and creating hit after hit after hit.
You'd have everything you wanted, right?
Wrong. Sometimes everything you wanted, is nothing you needed, and a lesson disguised as success. Nate Butler knows this narrative all too well, after having worked with names like Luther Vandross, Victoria Beckham, Craig David, Backstreet Boys, Christina Millian, Stacie Orrico, JoJo, Aaron Carter, The Cheetah Girls, Justin Bieber, Tiwa Savage and many others he found himself broke, but famous.
He joined me on a Zoom to tell me his incredible story of strength, resilience and overcoming yourself to become the best version of you!

It's been over two weeks since Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal faced devastating social unrest that brought both fear and more uncertainty. This at a time when the country's still battling a pandemic and trying to revive its battered economy. But at the same time, we saw the tide turning as South Africans did what they know best - joined hands to clean up and rebuild what had been destroyed by the unrest. Inspired by their spirit of generosity, Ubuntu, South Africans stood together against a force that threatened to destroy everything they stand for.
A simple Facebook post created a beautiful idea that reverberated around the country and started a movement to Rebuild SA!
We chat to the three co-founders of this incredible initiative - Emelda Masango, Mbali Ndhlovu and Natalie Church. Facebook page
"We are going to sue the South African Government collectively. Did I get your attention? Well, it's time to make our government accountable for their crimes!"
That was a post Brent put up in February 2020, and a little over a year later a group of passionate South Africans is doing just that.
Herman Mashaba - president of ActionSA - and Advocate Gillian Benson join Brent to talk about action after the recent violence riots in parts of Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal.
If you are a writer, producer, vocalist, or anything else in the South African Music industry, this podcast is for you!
In the last few months, no industry has been harder hit than that of the entertainment one.
The singers, bands, sound engineers, very few people within the music industry have earned any money in the last 12 months. I spoke to MPASA's (Music Publishing Association of South Africa) David Alexander about the way forward.
Under the current COVID-19 climate, one of the most pressing issues is the need for relief and funding as artists' revenue streams are set to dry up. Consequent to lockdown, airlines, casinos, hotels, and restaurants, amongst others, who use music to add ambience, did not trade.
Pre-COVID, this pool of licensing contributed more than 20% of SAMRO’s collections. Adding to collection problems is the fact that advertising on radio and television, which directly contribute to songwriters income, similarly fell by roughly 20% over the past business year.

It’s been over 440 days since the pandemic really took hold in South Africa. Yes, that’s how long it has been since the country went into the initial lockdown. Crazy just saying that out loud.

Human trafficking is an extremely tough subject to bring to life on film, but Hlubi Mboya does the role justice in "I Am All Girls", and the international community is in agreement that this proudly South African film is a must-see.

In this episode of The Money Podcast, Justin Harrison and David Bester talk about the envelope budgeting method, one of the oldest budgeting techniques, which is still as relevant today as it always has been. The envelope budgeting method can be traced all the way back to the days of Babylon. This budgeting technique became popular during the early 1900’s as cash became more widely used and people needed a way to manage their money, and more recently with the advent of digital money, many millennials have turned back to this age old proven budgeting technique. Justin and David are both advocates of this budgeting technique and have practiced this in their own lives for more than 20 years. In this episode they break down how you can get started with the envelope budgeting method, and as always provide actionable steps you can follow, to succeed at budgeting. Check out their website

We’ve just marked a year of the lockdown in South Africa and what a year it's been. What we have been through - and are still going through is absolutely tragic. This thing can feel so overwhelming and incredibly traumatic. The last year has been filled with so much grief. We have lost loved ones, businesses, incomes, health and every ounce of what we used to call normal.
It’s been really tough but as I always say… in times of tragedy, always look for the helpers as they will always be there and they are the heroes we need to celebrate.
And my guest today is not only a hero but someone who many look up to. She helped draft the final constitution of South Africa in 1996. She was the Public Protector of South Africa for over 7 years, she was named one of TIME 100’s most influential people in the world and is now holding a chair in Social Justice at Stellenbosch University.

If you have always had a love for DIY projects or you developed a love during the lockdown, you will agree that walking into a store dedicated to DIY projects is like being a kid in a candy store.
The pandemic inspired so many people to take up projects in their homes, from redecorating rooms and revamping the garden to repurposing rooms into offices, schools and gyms. We were told to stay home, and so we made our homes useful to our needs.
The need for DIY-related shopping was at an all-time high, so it was no surprise when we learned that a new store was opening for residents of Northern Johannesburg and its surrounds. Leroy Merlin's newest store will be hosting its grand opening in Fourways on 26 March, to the sheer delight of local DIYers!
Leroy Merlin Fourways is the 4th of its kind in Johannesburg. It specialises in construction, hardware, kitchen, bathroom, home decor and garden products, 65% of which are locally sourced.
The incredible new brand has opened up many employment options as well as a new awesome project to help a community centre in the area!
Cedric Sennepin - CEO of Leroy Merlin South Africa, joined Brent Lindeque to chat about the global brand.
Clive Vanderwagen-Julicher and Brent Lindeque chat about Mental Wellness and why our mindsets matter so much, especially right now!
Clive is trained in Transactional Analysis (TA) and is also a member of the South African Transactional Analysis Association. TA is like an operating system for how humans interact, and this is used powerfully in his training sessions.
“I draw on a broad range of industry experience – I've seen it all. I train using practical examples that are relevant to the company I'm working with for effective behaviour change. I teach people to consciously respond, rather than to react, to the situations they face, whether it be with customers or internal stakeholders,” he says.

Christy Strever, has been crowned the “Food Selfie Queen” of South Africa, and we are absolutely in love!
Strever’s story is both interesting and unique and something that South Africa should all be celebrating. Her photos are absolutely incredible - and that’s not just our opinion, Gordon Ramsey thinks so too.
Originally from Johannesburg, South Africa’s first “food selfie queen” is making waves with her amazing creative pics and she joins Good Things Guy, Brent Lindeque, to talk about her incredible journey.
For the past 50 years, the primary role of business in society has been to maximise shareholder return, a consequence of Milton Friedman's seminal article in the New York Times in 1970 in which he stated that "any other use of shareholders money was irresponsible".
Given the current state of the world, the pandemic, with climate change, global warming, depletion of our natural resources, over population, catastrophic pollution and growing inequality to name a few, it feels like the idea of business being a force for good, and playing a bigger role in society beyond financial maximisation, is the obvious thing to do.
Unfortunately, many business leaders don’t see it this way.
The world of business is about making money and “purpose” is often seen as getting in the way of making money. It’s perceived to be a “feel good” distraction that takes the eye off the ball, costs money, and erodes the carefully crafted and sought-after profit number. This number is the sole purpose many businesses exist, and it is the most significant factor that business leaders are judged on.
So, when business leaders see the word “purpose”, their immediate assumption is that it is going to cost them money, making their profit number that much more difficult to achieve.
Mike Middleton - Founder and CEO of Marty McFly - and Andrew Ross - CEO of Chaos Theory - have joined Brent Lindeque to chat about where business is going in our 'new normal'.
DriveHope was created from a desperate cry for help in a post on Facebook. When Karen Denny, Divisional Executive for Liberty’s Digital Marketing team, first read it, her heart sank. An elderly woman had anonymously poured her heart out, searching for help after she was sexually assaulted by a relative. The woman’s family and friends couldn’t offer her the support she needed, she had lost her job because of the COVID-19 lockdown, and her Unemployment Insurance Fund payments were still outstanding.
Reading the post was an emotional rollercoaster – the sadness surrounding the woman’s situation, the outrage over her suffering and inability to find help, and finally knowing that the Liberty #DriveHope Squad could somehow assist.
“I remember when I first called her, she couldn’t stop crying. I told her – I promised her – that we were going to help,” said Denny.
The physical distance created by the national lockdown was a challenge, but she and Liberty’s #DriveHopeSquad, a team of internal colleagues – knew that at the very least, they could help the woman get medical attention, both physically and psychologically, and provide her with food to sustain her until she could get back on her feet.
This was just one of the hundreds of random acts of kindness that the squad has undertaken since the campaign began. Good Things Guy Brent Lindeque chats to Karen to find out more about the #DriveHope initiative.
2020 has been filled with so much trauma. We've lost loved ones, businesses, incomes, health, faith in our leaders and every ounce of what we used to call normal. COVID-19 - caused by a virus with unprecedented deadliness and voracious contagion - brought the world to a standstill. As we struggle to process the pandemic's rising death toll and reel from its economic impact, we can't move or gather together freely. Our normalcy is gone. Coronavirus anxiety is everywhere. The future is uncertain, and the outlook feels bad.
It's been tough, I know! But I also know that there have been many moments this year that have stood out above the rest and need to be celebrated. So I put a call out on social media for you to send one good thing that happened to you this year and good grief, I have been left completely hopeful and inspired.
All the feels… have a listen here.
2020 has been a year filled with personal, relationship, family, business and global challenges. We have experienced uncertainty, lack of predictability, loss of jobs, money, physical contact and huge mental health issues. How do we not let suffering go to waste? Are there lessons that can be learned and sustained to improve our present and our future? What can we take into 2021 that will generate new possibilities and greater fulfillment?
In this podcast, the final one for 2020, ‘DrD’ discusses: • Priority Shift • Gratitude • Resilience • The healing power of support • Balance between taking control and trusting the process • Being a more integrated member of the human race • Self-compassion and kindness
Make the rest of your life the best of your life on Thrive with ‘DrD’. Happy Holidays and happy 2021!
Join ‘DrD’ in conversation with John Edmonson, CEO of Life Works Foundation in Texax, about the art of forgiveness. Here's a short segment of the podcast.
Have you ever been stuck in a moment that you cannot forget or move on from? In this week's Thrive with 'DrD' podcast, we explore forgiveness and reconciliation. "People think forgiveness is redeeming other people's behaviour. That's not the case at all. What's wrong is wrong. But, we want to be free [which is where forgiveness comes in]," says our guest, John Edmonson.
We explore: * Why forgiveness is necessary * If reconciliation is always possible * How to deal with betrayal and pain * We look at the unresolved conflict that can be passed on through generations

She and 'DrD' unpack and discuss resilience and how to develop it.

Ross McIlroy - co-founder of cars.co.za - is incredibly proud to have reached over 200 000 subscribers for the Cars.co.za brand on its YouTube channel.
