Podcast appearances and mentions of brent lindeque

This week on Good Things with Brent Lindeque, I sit down with one of South Africa's most respected journalists and authors, Mandy Wiener, to talk about her brand-new book, The Deal. It's the real story behind the political negotiations that followed the 2024 elections, when South Africa stood on the edge of change. Mandy takes us behind the scenes... from private homes to secret meetings, where power, pressure and personality shaped the future of our democracy. We chat about what it was like sitting down with the President, what had to be removed from the book before it went to print, and yes… why Gayton McKenzie was running around his house naked. It's smart, insightful and even funny.

This week on Good Things with Brent Lindeque, I sit down with Melusi Tshabalala, the creative mind behind Everyday Zulu. What started as daily Facebook posts has become a cultural movement, teaching isiZulu through humour, honesty and heart. We chat about language, laughter, and life as a modern South African.

From a broken childhood to building a purpose-driven business, Darren Morris, CEO of Lucky Hustle, joins me on "Good Things with Brent Lindeque" to share his inspiring journey. In this honest and uplifting conversation, Darren opens up about the challenges he faced growing up, the good people who helped him along the way, and how those experiences shaped his vision for an agency built on heart, kindness and meaning. It's a story of resilience, hope and the power of choosing to do good... even when life doesn't start out that way.

If there's one thing South Africans know how to do, it's laugh... even when life gets tough. And this week on Good Things with Brent Lindeque, we're chatting to one of the greatest comedians to ever do it: the one and only Barry Hilton. After more than 40 years of making people laugh across the globe, Barry Hilton is stepping into a new chapter, one that's as heartfelt as it is hilarious. “Laughter is without a doubt the best medicine for life's challenges,” he says. “After more than 40 years as a professional comedian, I want to use my inspirational talk to show the world how humour can be a powerful tool for healing and resilience.” Having performed in over 20 countries and delivered more than 6,000 gigs, Barry's life on stage has been extraordinary. But beyond the spotlight, he's been on a deeply personal journey, one that's seen him face depression and come out stronger, ready to share the role humour played in his own healing.

This week on Good Things with Brent Lindeque, we sit down with GridCars CEO Winstone Jordaan to unpack South Africa's electric vehicle journey... where we are, what's holding us back and how close we really are to an EV revolution. From unfair import taxes to myths about charging and grid reliability, Winstone breaks down the truth about electric mobility and why it could save South Africans money while cleaning up our cities. Watch now to see how technology, policy, and passion could drive South Africa into a cleaner, smarter and more sustainable future.

This week on Good Things with Brent Lindeque, we're chatting to Nic Latouf, one of the founders of The Lekker Network... a global community bringing South Africans together from eKapa to the Cayman Islands. It all started with one simple idea: “South Africans are South Africa's most valuable export.” From entrepreneurs and executives to everyday legends doing extraordinary things, The Lekker Network is proving that when South Africans unite, magic happens... opportunities grow, stories shine and the spirit of Ubuntu goes global. Watch the full conversation to discover how two friends, Nic Latouf and Renier Lombard, are turning pride into purpose and helping South Africans make the world a little more lekker.

This week on Good Things with Brent Lindeque, I chat to Gareth Armstrong from RMB and Professor Jerome Loveland from Surgeons for Little Lives — a non-profit changing the future of paediatric care in South Africa. We talk about the incredible work they do, how RMB helped transform the paediatric burns unit at Baragwanath Hospital into a world-class facility, and why this partnership is giving children the chance to heal, play and dream again.

There's something inspiring about sitting down with people who are shaping the digital landscape in South Africa and beyond. On this week's “Good Things with Brent Lindeque”, I had the privilege of chatting to Reece Meyer and Chae Francois from Ace Labs... a Cape Town-based creative agency that is proving what's possible when passion, strategy, and a love for storytelling collide. We dived into conversations about social media, advertising, content creation (like, we go deep into this), AI and yes even that incredible moment of being featured on Forbes! Co-founded by Nadia Jaftha, Reece Meyer, and Chae Francis, this powerhouse team is helping both creators and brands build sustainable businesses around the globe. For creators, Ace Labs is all about empowerment, giving content creators the tools, insights, and partnerships they need to grow their audiences, monetise their content and land meaningful brand deals. For brands, it's about building strategy, running social media campaigns, and connecting with audiences in authentic ways. From brand positioning to digital marketing, Ace Labs has become a trusted partner for companies wanting to thrive in a fast-paced digital era. In our conversation, Reece and Chae opened up about their journey, the challenges of building a creative business and their vision for the future. It's a story filled with insights, humour, and the kind of good news that makes you believe in the power of collaboration.

You nominated them. So we visited them to say thank you... and give them something to help. This week on Good Things with Brent Lindeque, we visit TNG Day Care in Boschkop, a joyful, nurturing space built by Notombi and Tebogo. From babies to six-year-olds, the little ones here are learning, growing, and thriving… and yes, even gardening!

Remember to tell us who we should feature next: info@goodthingsguy.com.

Julia Anastasopoulos, the brilliant mind behind Suzelle DIY, Tali Babes, and Natalie, joins me on Good Things with Brent Lindeque. We dive into her journey as an actor, writer, and creator, and explore how her characters have become part of South African culture. From viral YouTube moments to award-winning shows, Julia's work is all about laughter, connection and storytelling that feels real. She shares the inspiration behind her iconic characters, the creative process that brings them to life and why humour is such a powerful way to bring people together. If you love good stories, South African creativity, and a few laughs along the way, this is one conversation you don't want to miss.

This week on Good Things with Brent Lindeque, I get to sit down with Wilson Tauro, the Country Manager for Air France KLM, to talk about something really special. Wilson isn't just passionate about flying people across the world, he's passionate about South Africa itself. In our conversation, he shares his love for this country, his belief in the power of tourism and how travel can be more than just ticking destinations off a list. For him, it's about connection, community, and leaving something meaningful behind. That's why this October, I'll be joining Wilson, along with a group of incredible South Africans, to help build a school in rural South Africa. It's a project that proves travel can change more than just the traveller; it can change lives. This episode is a reminder that tourism can be a force for good, that when we come together with purpose, we can create something bigger than ourselves.

On this episode of Good Things with Brent Lindeque, we sit down with the incredible team behind Edenvale Care Centre Hospice: an organisation quietly doing life-changing work. From turning an old house into a warm, welcoming space to offering dignity, care and comfort during life's most vulnerable moments, this registered NPO is proof that kindness can carry us through anything. The Edenvale Hospice team supports patients and their families with palliative care, counselling, and unwavering compassion, reminding us all what it means to show up for each other.

This week on Good Things with Brent Lindeque, we sit down with Grant Fietze, Head of Marketing at Capital Legacy, to talk about their bold and humorous new campaign, Don't Die in an Awkward Position. Did you know that 70% of South Africans don't have a valid will? We explore why so many people avoid this important conversation, the risks of dying without a will, and how Capital Legacy is using humour to spark action and protect families. From awkward “final moments” to practical advice on estate planning, this episode blends laughter with life-changing information. If you've been putting off getting your will sorted, this conversation might be the nudge you need.

What started as a simple weekend clean-up has become one of South Africa's most inspiring community movements. In this episode of Good Things with Brent Lindeque, we sit down with Tarryn Johnston – the powerhouse behind Hennops Revival – to talk about how she's led the charge to clean up the Hennops River, one plastic bag at a time. From removing over 5 million kilograms of waste to creating thousands of jobs and even turning river rubbish into paint, Tarryn's story is one of grit, purpose and real hope. We chat about where it all began, the ripple effects it's had on her community and the creative innovation that's helping turn pollution into possibility. Expect goosebumps, inspiration and a reminder that good things really do grow when we care enough to act.

They're not in it for fame or fortune; they're in it to save lives. SARZA is made up of highly-trained volunteer 4x4 owners who drop everything when someone's in trouble.

With over 610,000 followers and 23 million likes on TikTok, Austin is shining a spotlight on the unsung heroes, quirky facts, and everyday moments that make South Africa so proudly South African. It's real. It's powerful. And it's the reminder we all need right now... that there's still so much good around us.

He tore his calf 6km into the Comrades Marathon… but still pushed through nearly 90km of pain, grit and heart. Not for glory. Not for medals. But for something far greater. The kids fighting cancer through CHOC.

From battling addiction to losing his wife, Rich has faced unimaginable hardship… but continues to choose purpose, hope and doing good. This conversation is about more than running.

But beyond the likes and shares, they're using their platforms to open up meaningful conversations about education, mental health, connection and the power of showing up authentically.... both online and off. And of course, there is dancing! This episode is full of laughs, goosebumps and real moments that will make you fall in love with teachers all over again.
