The Gareth Cliff Show

Gareth and Leigh Ann kick off with stories about Damon and Leigh Ann's first meeting with Sam Cowan — plus the comments section weighs in, as always. Then, Jarrett Booysen, founder of SEQFLO, joins the show to talk about how getting scammed out of thousands of rands led him to build a secure digital trust platform for private online transactions. Finally, Cilliers Brink of the DA returns to the show, sharing his advice for voters ahead of the November 2026 local government elections and his campaign to become Tshwane's mayor again.

Part 2 South African travel broadcasting legend Kate Turkington joins the show to celebrate her 92nd birthday — sharing a lifetime of stories about travel, men, dogs, and everything in between.

Part 1 Ben and Gareth kick off with travel talk about the world's most beautiful places — including Mauritius — before Ben gets hilariously specific about saving South Africa's baboons, sparking a comments section pile-on. Anine and Hanna join the conversation to challenge Gareth and the comments section on baboon conservation, landing on an uncomfortable but fair conclusion: maybe people are the real problem, not the baboons.

Gareth tells Gord about the time he did ayahuasca, which naturally spirals into a full swap-meet of near-death experiences and "was that God or just my brain running out of oxygen" moments. Somewhere in there, Gord casually mentions he's sitting on a voting system that could fix democracy, as one does. Then it gets properly philosophical: what happiness actually is, why intelligence and love make being alive so unnecessarily complicated, and the one piece of advice that might actually save your attention span, keep your eyes on what you're building, not on your phone. Heavy stuff, delivered the way only these two can.

Gareth live from Malta with the incredible Team from Tourvest. We talk to a few of the Tourvest Team and all their exciting plans and what they have been doing in Malta And of course the comments section is on fire.

Gareth, as ever, asks the questions everyone else is too polite to.
