947 Breakfast Club

Someone just handed you R10,000 to stop the office doom scroll and kick morale into gear. Do you blow it on endless snacks until no one remembers why they hate Mondays? Book a surprise party that makes HR sweat? Or just buy enough coffee to keep everyone pretending to care? Either way, it’s your cash, how do you turn the cubicle blues into a mini celebration without getting fired?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You called. You bragged. Now it’s time to put your spatula where your mouth is!!! Last week, we asked you about that family recipe — the one everyone begs for, the one that “slaps harder than payday.” And wow, did you deliver! From secret spices to granny-approved techniques, we were drooling in studio. So this week, we’re putting your money where your mouth is. We’ve collected some of your most mouthwatering recipes — and now we’re tasting them. TODAY: Anrique backs her fudge like it’s Bitcoin. Creamy, dreamy, and totally addictive — it’s the kind you hide from your kids and lie about later. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wilfred’s got love in the fast lane — literally. Every day after work, his girlfriend sends him on a new mission: bread, batteries, bubble wrap… you name it. But now, our guy’s exhausted and just wants to drive home without detouring through aisle 5. Is it time Wilfred put his foot down — or is this just the price of love and living together?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yup — South Africa’s in a bit of a pickle (literally), and it's got everything to do with vinegar. Between fuel hikes, port delays, packaging problems, and soaring prices for basics like sugar and grain — our vinegar supply is running low. That means your sauces, your chakalaka, your pickles, even your cleaning spray could feel the pinch. But don’t panic just yet! We’re chatting to Louis Opperman, Head of Commercial at Jumbo, who’s here to break it all down — and more importantly, explain how Jumbo Brands is keeping their vinegar flowing. While others scramble, they’ve got stock, a solid national network, and they're keeping kitchens and factories running smoothly. So before you cancel that braai marinade or panic-buy your cleaning vinegar — tune in. Because not all heroes wear capes... some just bring the vinegar.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s the honeymoon: love is in the air; room service is on speed dial… and hubby’s tee time is at 10am sharp. But is it a crime if one of you wants to sneak off for a solo round of golf — especially if you chose a golf estate? Do you have to be joined at the hip the whole time, or is a little “me time” the secret to honeymoon harmony? Asking for a friend. Who’s already packed her book, her spa slippers… and her husband's golf clubs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, we’ve got a spicy one from Kerry in Melville — four roommates, one missing dinnerware mystery, and a brand-new housemate who just moved in. Suddenly, plates, bowls, and mugs are disappearing like it’s a magic trick gone rogue. No broken glass, no explanations… just gone. Now Kerry’s wondering: Would it be totally out of line to peek into the newbie’s room while she’s out? Is that just smart detective work… or a hard no on the housemate code of conduct? We’re unpacking it all — the ethics, the instincts, and whether Kerry should trust her gut or call a house meeting instead. Because nothing brings out the real drama like shared kitchens and passive-aggressive group chats.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Let’s be honest — most of us grew up with curfews that made no sense. You’re 23, living at home, and still getting side-eyed for walking in at 10:01 PM. But sometimes... just sometimes... a special occasion earns you a little extra leeway. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Inspired by our girl Yaya — the nanny who turned her family rusk recipe into a booming business — So we want to know: What’s the one family recipe that everyone begs you to make?

Look, we all like to think we’re deep, evolved, and spiritually mature beings who value personality over everything. But let’s be honest… we all have that one thing. That one shallow, petty, completely superficial line we just won’t cross. For some, it's a lack of education or bad shoes. For others, it’s that weird way someone chews. Maybe it’s the dreaded "lives with their mom at 35" or the "uses LOL after every sentence" situation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Producer Ryan did a good deed - he drove his wife to work in her car. Sweet, right? Until the fine arrived. Now the real question is: who pays? Is love about sharing… or settling traffic fines?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From deep life advice at age 7 to cleaning the whole house without being asked — kids have a wild way of surprising us. This week, we’re talking about the moments your child’s maturity stopped you in your tracks and made you think, “Wow... who raised you?

Yaya (Nelia Ngulube) has been a nanny for 16 years, working for four families and caring for a total of nine children. She has two children of her own and lives in Craighall Park, Johannesburg. She learned to make rusks from the grandmother of one of the families she worked for, later adapting the original recipe into her own. In April 2025, she launched her rusk business with the support and social media strategy of her current employer, where she looks after twin boys. The business has since grown rapidly, with weekly sell-outs and a loyal customer base.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We all have that place – the hometown, the family gathering, or even a favorite hangout — that feels more like a drama hotspot than a vacation spot. Too many relatives, too many questions, and way too much tension. So, where do you avoid going because the family drama is just too much?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When one of our listeners wrote a song for his half-deaf girlfriend, Ntombi, our hearts exploded. So we asked Joburg: Have you ever written a song for someone you love? What we got back was raw, romantic, sometimes hilarious, and deeply human. From breakup ballads to secret serenades, this episode is all about the music we make when words just aren't enough. Get ready for goosebumps, giggles, and maybe even a tear or two.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From the Varsity of Zululand to Vega, Ndabe Zondi’s journey has been anything but ordinary. He’s come heartbreakingly close to the top — not once, but twice. First, he placed second in the ECR Presenter Search, narrowly missing the mic. Then again, as the MTN Superfan, where he almost scored the ultimate dream: traveling with the Boks to Japan. Again, second place. But here’s the plot twist: finishing second never meant falling short. It meant sharpening his voice, growing his hustle, and waiting for the right mic — and now, he’s got it. Joburg, meet your newest 947 presenter: sharp, seasoned, and hungry. And if you're wondering who's sweating the most right now… just ask Msizi James. Another Durban boy? The competition just got real.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

we hear from an anonymous listener who left us a voice note with a tough question: “I took back my cheating ex. My family still hates him. I’ve got a birthday party coming up… and I’m thinking of not inviting him. Should I?” It’s the kind of dilemma that cuts deep—when your heart says one thing, and your family says another. We talk about love, forgiveness, family boundaries, and whether your birthday is a day for peace… or picking a side.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You’ve got one. I’ve got one. That mysterious kitchen junk drawer full of... who-knows-what. Birthday candles take the #1 spot—because heaven forbid we buy new ones—and rubber bands are a close #2 (wrapped around nothing, just vibes). But what’s the third most hoarded item in the nation’s junk drawers? Today, we dig into the oddly intimate psychology of the junk drawer, why we keep what we keep, and reveal the surprising third-place contender. Spoiler: it’s something you’ve definitely got right now—and probably haven’t used in years.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So, you sent a Save the Date... and now you want to uninvite them? Oof. That’s not just bold - that’s a social plot twist! Sure, it’s technically not a contract. But let’s be honest: once that card hits their fridge, it’s real. You told them, “You’re in.” Now you’re pulling a disappearing act? Yikes. Look, we get it. Life changes. Budgets shrink. People show their true colors. But if you’re thinking about snatching that invite back—just know: it’s messy, it’s awkward, and yeah, it might spark drama. If you have to do it? Be grown. Pick up the phone. Say what’s up. Don’t ghost. Don’t sugarcoat. Do. It. Right.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Johannesburg tenant spent nearly R1 million renovating a rental property, based on a verbal agreement that he would eventually buy the house. He later submitted a formal offer to purchase, but it was rejected by the landlord. Despite extensive upgrades - including plumbing, waterproofing, and a new kitchen - the landlord sold the property for R3 million after evicting the tenant over R896 000 in rent arrears. The tenant sued for over R900 000, claiming unjust enrichment, but the court found no binding agreement and upheld the lease terms. The High Court ruled in the landlord’s favor and ordered the tenant to pay rent arrears and legal costs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The competition isn’t just on the scoreboard — it’s who has the fanciest pop-up tent, the flashiest team merch, and the most unnecessarily lifted SUV. Forget the coach’s pep talk; these parents are here to flex. And somewhere beneath all that gloss and gear… a game of soccer is still trying to happen. In the age of performative parenting, sports fields have become the new catwalk. But hey — if the kids are learning teamwork, maybe the parents should too. The headmaster at Hilton college George Harris spoke on exactly this when issued a plea to parents.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is it 2 minutes? 5? 30? An entire Netflix episode? We’ve all been there staring at our phones, debating whether to hang up or grow old on hold. Some of us multitask while we wait; others start questioning life choices. And let’s be honest—some companies have hold times so long, you could start a family, raise kids, and retire before someone picks up. Today, we’re having some fun with this not-so-fun experience. We’ll chat about hold-time horror stories, the companies that do it best (and worst), and whether technology has made things better—or just given us new ways to wait.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Parents, have you ever turned the whole house upside down looking for something – only to find out your kid HID it? Maybe it was your car keys, the TV remote, a shoe, or even... the birthday cake?

We've all been there — stuck in a group project where not everyone pulls their weight. But what happens when you're asked to rate your teammates, and telling the truth could mean one of them fails? In this episode, we explore the ethical gray area of peer evaluations in group assignments. Mpumi sent us a voice note saying: "one teammate contributed nothing, and now honest feedback could tank their grade. Is it being fair, or is it being a snitch? Would you stay silent to keep the peace or speak up for the sake of justice?"See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Did you know that while nearly 90% of households in the U.S. have a garage, only 3% actually use it to park their cars? Yep — garages, once a proud symbol of suburban convenience, have quietly transformed into everything but car storage. We dive into the fascinating and often funny reality of what garages have become: makeshift gyms, clutter catch-alls, man caves, home offices, band practice zones, and even holiday decoration graveyards. We ask the big questions — Why have we stopped using garages for their original purpose?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.
