947 Breakfast Club

This week, we had the privilege of speaking with international DJ and philanthropist Black Coffee about his Foundation's rapid response to the devastating floods in the Eastern Cape. In the aftermath of severe storms that have claimed over 49 lives and displaced thousands, Black Coffee's team has mobilized to provide essential aid to affected communities. Areas like Mthatha, Ngcobo, and Coffee Bay have been among the hardest hit, with infrastructure damage estimated at R4.5 billion, including destroyed roads, bridges, and healthcare facilities. In our conversation, Black Coffee shares insights into the Foundation's relief efforts, the challenges on the ground, and how listeners can contribute to the ongoing recovery.

Producer Ryan went to a restaurant with his family. Now Ryan is vegetarian. They order a Halloumi and felafel wrap…. The waiter gets this order wrong and comes with a chicken wrap instead.

Anele has a question, a Big one in fact: If the oldest building in Germany was blown to smithereens, can you still call it the oldest building?

hey say some of the biggest deals aren’t made in boardrooms—they’re made on the golf course. On the green, pressure is low, conversations flow naturally, and trust is built one swing at a time. Golf offers a rare balance of competition and camaraderie, where handshakes often seal partnerships more powerful than a signature ever could.

It’s not just a dream — it’s a vision I wake up to every single day.

From early morning runs to late-night training sessions, everything I do is with that goal in mind. I see myself walking onto that track, hearing the roar of the crowd, and knowing that all the sweat, setbacks, and sacrifices were worth it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bedtime is a mix of chaos, cuddles, and consistency (on the good nights!). We try to stick to a routine — bath, pajamas, storytime, and lights out — but let’s be honest, some nights it’s more negotiations and extra water requests than peaceful winding down. Still, we’ve learned that presence matters more than perfection. Those quiet moments — reading the same book for the tenth time or listening to little voices talk about their day — they’re the heart of it all. How do you do bedtime at your place?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We got a voicenote from Raven: “Three years ago my wife gave birth to our child and I didn't stay with her at the hospital.

A couple has gone viral after taking their legal battle online with a Villa they booked. The villa charged them $280 (R5,000+) for “breaking” the existing shower head after they unscrewed it to temporarily use their own filtered shower head.

As we move through life, we want to share things with others, but there are some things we should keep to ourselves. While there will be a few people we can share the important things with, we have to be careful.

Imagine this: your parents are divorced, and while you’re trying to maintain a relationship with both of them, one parent — in this case, your mom — constantly talks down about the other. It’s uncomfortable, it’s hurtful, and it puts you in the middle of something you never asked to be in. So how do you handle it? How do you respectfully tell your parent, “Hey, I love you, but this is not okay”? And most importantly, how do you protect your mental and emotional space without adding fuel to the fire? We got a voice note from Unathi: “Hi guys, so my parents are divorced. But my mom bad mouths my dad so much when I’m around her. How do I tell her to stop?” We also spoke to Psychologist Megan Tucker had a chat with us about this.

There are days when life feels like too much – when the noise of responsibilities, the weight of expectations, and the endless to-do lists pile up until you just need a moment to breathe. Maybe you're a parent who pulls into the driveway and lets the car run for 30 extra minutes, just sitting there in the quiet. Maybe you detour on the way home to a local ice cream shop, not because you need the sugar, but because you need something—a small joy, a break, a reminder that you still exist outside of the roles you play.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bradley Nkoana's journey to Olympic silver and World U20 bronze is a powerful testament to resilience, determination, and the unwavering support of his family. Here's a deeper look into the challenges he faced and overcame. Bradley's path to success was marred by significant obstacles. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 disrupted his training, leading to an 18-month hiatus from competitive athletics. Beyond physical injuries, Bradley faced profound personal challenges. At the age of 11, he lost his mother to breast cancer. Her passing left a significant void in his life. Before her death, she entrusted Bradley with the responsibility of caring for his younger brother. This promise became a guiding force in his life. Bradley credits his father and grandparents for their unwavering support, helping him navigate the complexities of adolescence and athletics.
