Bongani Bingwa speaks to Jan de Villiers, Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on the Public Service, about a growing scandal involving so-called “ghost workers” in the public sector. The Gauteng Department of Health reportedly paid R6.4 million in salaries to non-existent employees, even as real doctors go unpaid. At PRASA, up to R20 million has been lost on over 1,000 phantom staff. Investigations by the SIU and Auditor-General suggest this is not administrative error but a pattern of organised, systemic corruption draining public funds. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Ray White speaks to political analyst Ntsikelelo Breakfast about a week where South Africa’s leadership walked a tightrope on the global stage. President Cyril Ramaphosa calmly countered Donald Trump’s claims of “white genocide” while making a strategic trade pitch abroad. Meanwhile, Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana delivered Budget 3.0, avoiding deep austerity but tightening spending with hopes pinned on improved tax collection and a mysterious R20-billion fix. And as Elon Musk’s Starlink eyes the local market, the question remains: can it lift off under South Africa’s BEE regulations?

Die aktuellen Automobilkurznachrichten mit Michael Weyland Thema heute:  Neuer Porsche 911 GT3 meistert Nordschleife in 6:56,294 Minuten      Der Porsche 911 GT3 ist das schnellste Serienfahrzeug mit manuellem Schaltgetriebe auf der Nürburgring Nordschleife. Porsche Markenbotschafter Jörg Bergmeister unterbot den bis dato geltenden Rekord eines deutlich stärker motorisierten Mitbewerbers um mehr als 9,5 Sekunden. Aufgrund umfangreicher Weiterentwicklungen aller performancerelevanten Fahrzeugkomponenten war der handgeschaltete 911 GT3 mit Weissach Paket sogar 3,633 Sekunden schneller unterwegs als das Vorgängermodell (992.1) mit Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK).   „Immer mehr Kunden des 911 GT3 entscheiden sich für das Sechsgang-Schaltgetriebe. Und immer häufiger werden wir von diesen Kunden gefragt, wie schnell denn ein 911 GT3 mit Handschaltung auf der Nordschleife wäre“, berichtet man bei Porsche. „Diese Frage haben wir jetzt beantwortet und sind – obwohl wir wissen, dass die Variante mit PDK noch einmal deutlich schneller ist – unsere offizielle Rundenzeit mit manuellem Sechsganggetriebe gefahren. Auch ohne die automatisierten, superschnellen und präzisen Schaltvorgänge des PDK und mit konventionellem statt elektronisch geregeltem Sperrdifferenzial nimmt der neue 911 GT3 seinem Vorgänger mit PDK rund 3,6 Sekunden ab.“ Bei sonnigem Wetter, 12 Grad Umgebungs- und 27 Grad Asphalttemperatur ging Jörg Bergmeister am späten Nachmittag im 375 kW (510 PS) starken 911 GT3 mit Weissach Paket auf die 20,832 Kilometer lange Strecke. Wie bei der offiziellen Runde des Vorgängermodells waren straßenzugelassene Reifen des Typs Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2 R in den Dimensionen 255/35 R20 vorn und 315/30 R21 hinten montiert. Bessere Performance bei gleicher Motorleistung „Der neue 911 GT3 vermittelt am Limit noch mehr Vertrauen als das Vorgängermodell. Ich bin in fast jeder Kurve schneller unterwegs gewesen“, beschreibt Jörg Bergmeister das Fahrverhalten des Sportwagens. „Vor allem beim Fahrwerk haben wir eine Menge vom 911 GT3 RS gelernt. Das Auto liegt auf Bodenwellen und über die Curbs deutlich ruhiger. Und dank der acht Prozent kürzeren Übersetzung liegt bei gleicher Motorleistung beim Beschleunigen spürbar mehr Kraft an der Hinterachse an. Auch wenn es mit dem Siebengang-PDK noch ein paar Sekunden schneller gegangen wäre – mit dem Sechsgang-Schaltgetriebe hatte ich auf der schnellen Runde definitiv mehr zu tun und somit auch ein bisschen mehr Spaß“.

The United Democratic Movement (UDM) in Limpopo is calling for officials from the Vhembe District Municipality to be held to account for continuing to violate basic human rights of residents by failing to provide clean water in the area. The party says the dignity and daily survival of Vhembe residents will continue to be under threat, unless national government intervenes after a R20-million water project failed to benefit nearly 700 households. The area recently came under the spotlight after online publication, GroundUp, reported that dozens of school children are forced to travel for kilometres to collect up to six 25-litre containers of water in order to bathe for school each morning.

On this week's episode of In The Circle, I'm sharing one of the most powerful conversations I've ever had with Herb K. Thanks to the 12 Steps, Herb has been free from alcohol since 1984. In 1988, he had a profound spiritual awakening. Since then, he's dedicated himself to helping others sustain and expand their own awakening through recovery.Herb's work goes beyond addiction—it's about clarity, consciousness, and living your best life. We all struggle with something, whether it's substances, relationships, food, technology, or money. I truly believe everyone would benefit from going through the 12-Step process at least once. It's not a cure-all, but it lays the foundation for contentment, fulfillment, and freedom.Before we dive in, I want to acknowledge the universal relevance of this discussion.

This week's episode of In The Circle is unlike any other because, for the first time, I'm sharing my personal story of recovery. It's a journey filled with struggle, revelation, and transformation—one that has shaped every part of who I am today. Recovery is never a straight line, and looking back, I see how each moment, each fall, and each breakthrough led me here.My path began long before I took my first drink or drug. Addiction, I believe, is rooted in childhood, in the ways we learn to cope, seek approval, or escape discomfort. And when addiction took hold, it pulled me into a cycle that felt impossible to break.I hit rock bottom not once, but three times—two of them while in recovery. Sobriety wasn't a simple fix; it was the beginning of an even deeper struggle. The 12 steps became both a guide and a mirror, forcing me to confront parts of myself I wanted to avoid. But it was in these moments—facing my pain head-on—that true healing began.And then, I found something that changed everything. Yoga and the wisdom of my teacher, Guru Prem, opened a door to a new way of being. Recovery became more than just staying sober; it became a path to real freedom. Today, I share this journey in the hopes that it sparks something in you—because we all have our own paths to walk, and healing is always possible.

In this week's episode of In The Circle, I'm joined by Miriam who poses a deeply relevant inquiry: How Can I Stay Grounded When The World Feels So Uncertain?How do I navigate interactions with others amidst heightened emotions and uncertainty in the world? In a time when truth feels elusive and perspectives shift depending on the source, the power of discernment has never been more crucial. In times of upheaval, we must hold space for both grief and gratitude, recognizing that being present with what is allows us to respond rather than react.As we face societal shifts, including political change, it's essential to remain anchored in the present. Beyond affiliations and opinions, our true alignment is with the here and now—a practice that calls for awareness, balance, and intentional action. How do we hold space for others while protecting our own peace? How do we discern what to take in and what to let go? Let's explore these questions together and uncover the practices that help us navigate uncertain times with clarity and compassion.Tommy Discusses:Staying grounded amid uncertaintyMaintaining a balance when interacting with the outside worldThe practice of yoga and meditationResponding vs reactingWould you like to be a guest on the In The Circle Podcast?

In this week's episode of In The Circle, I'm thrilled to dive into an incredibly meaningful topic that impacts each of us — our relationship with food. Alyssa joins us with an inquiry about something fundamental to the human experience - How Can I Move Beyond Addictive Patterns with Food? Food has a powerful impact on how we feel, think, and interact in the world. It affects our energy, our mood, and even the way we show up in relationships. For those of us on the recovery path, it can be difficult to fully surrender to the principle that every compulsive bite blocks our connection to spirit. It's such a powerful question because, in one way or another, it touches us all.Together, we're going to examine what it means to truly honor our bodies and spirits through our relationship with food — an exploration I believe is at the heart of recovery and personal growth.Tommy Discusses:Strategies to change your relationship with foodThe 12-hour food windowWhy moving our bodies is so important How emotions affect our eating habits and patternsWould you like to be a guest on the In The Circle Podcast?

On this week's episode of In The Circle, we welcome Stuart, who is celebrating one year of sobriety from long-term cannabis use. Stuart's success stands as a beacon of hope for those struggling to let go of cannabis, showing that recovery and thriving are possible. In this episode, he asks a question many of us can relate to: how can I break free from negative thinking patterns? How can we shift from negative thinking to a more realistic and positive outlook? The recovery journey can sometimes feel overwhelming, and it is not uncommon to occasionally feel stuck in old thinking and behavior patterns. By cultivating self-awareness and challenging those limiting beliefs, we can gradually move from a mindset of negativity to one that embraces possibility. It takes effort and intention, but every step forward opens the door to new perspectives and greater mental clarity. There's always a way to break free from the cycle of negativity, and with the right tools and support, you can reshape your mindset toward a more empowering and realistic outlook.Tommy Discusses:How to let go of your negative thoughtsWhy self-awareness can feel overwhelming in early recoveryShifting your thought process in real-timeWhy missteps along the way are actually opportunitiesWould you like to be a guest on the In The Circle Podcast?

On this week's episode of In The Circle, we're diving into another powerful inquiry from someone who traveled with me to one of our Recovery 2.0 retreats in England. Today's guest, Perry, asks: How can I push through my resistance to change? During our England retreat, we discussed something I call resistance training. When I mention resistance training, I'm talking about engaging in activities that naturally bring up our own resistance. I'm referring to – the voice that says, "I'll do it tomorrow." The practice of resistance training is about purposefully doing those things that challenge us, allowing us to break through that resistance and emerge stronger.In Recovery 2.0, we emphasize this training to help us become our best selves. Perry also asks me about the practices I personally use to overcome my resistance and show up fully in life. Through this episode, we'll explore the mind, body, and spirit, and discuss ways we can all set up the conditions to blow through our resistance to the things we know are good for us. This, I believe, is key to finding daily fulfillment and moving forward on what I call the path of discovery.

On this week's episode of In The Circle, we are truly blessed to have Linda, an elder, joining us. When I say "elder," I'm referring not just to age, but to the wisdom and humility gained over time. Linda brings us such a powerful inquiry when she asks: What does conscious recovery look like as we grow older? This deeply humbles me. It's a profound inquiry from someone with so much life experience in recovery, reminding us all that the journey continues no matter where we are.As we age and approach the last chapter of our lives, there can be uncertainty and frustration about how we can maximize the time we have left.In this episode, we explore what it means to be an elder, to age with dignity and power, and to find fulfillment every single day. This conversation is vital for anyone who wants to grow old consciously and live with purpose.Tommy Discusses:The power of living in the energy of gratitudeDealing with regret in longer-term recoveryFinding grace at every ageWhat does it mean to age with dignity and consciousness?Would you like to be a guest on the In The Circle Podcast?

On this week's episode of In The Circle, we're joined by Mariana, who brings us an impactful inquiry: How Can I Maintain Healthy Boundaries While Being of Service in Recovery?We often read in spiritual scriptures that we are meant to give without expectation. Yet, as humans in relationships, we recognize that boundaries are essential, especially in recovery. Spiritual and religious teachings often compare service to an express train for personal and spiritual growth. While giving and serving are fundamental aspects of recovery, it's important to understand that setting healthy boundaries not only prevents burnout but also allows us to continue giving sustainably.I often say that ‘service is where the action is', but what does it truly mean to be of service? How can we differentiate between serving authentically and serving in a codependent way? In this episode, we'll dive deep into what it means to be of service and explore how to help others without giving too much of yourself away.

With thousands of local members and global live streamers, Agape is celebrated for its cultural, racial, and spiritual inclusivity.

On this week's episode of In The Circle, we are joined by Rosie, who brings a relevant and powerful inquiry for our consideration: How can I quickly regulate my emotions and ground myself, so I don't get lost in the story my mind creates?This is a deeply relevant inquiry—who hasn't found themselves trapped by the narratives they carry in their mind? It's all too common to become our own biggest triggers, getting swept away by our thoughts and emotions.Recovery, however, is more than abstinence. It's about moving beyond the limiting stories that keep us stuck and discovering new ways of thinking that empower us. It's the process of letting go of old, unhelpful stories and embracing ones that enhance our connection to truth, power, love, and life itself.By rewriting our stories, we can open the door to deeper healing and a more authentic, fulfilling existence.Tommy Discusses:How to disrupt negative emotionsHow to reframe the narratives that keep you stuckYour thoughts hold no power over youHow the mind and breath are connectedYou are not your thoughts and emotionsWould you like to be a guest on the In The Circle Podcast?

On this week's episode of In The Circle, we have Kathy bringing a very unique yet relevant inquiry that requires a bit of unpacking. Kathy inquires: what is the difference between being an introvert and isolating? Kathy wrote to us and said, “I usually hear that human beings are hardwired for connection and that we are social creatures. I do not believe it to be true for every human being - it isn't true for me.” As we go down the path of this inquiry, we'll learn that Kathy has been introverted most of her life and that her family was not necessarily comfortable with that. We explore what it means to find solitude, the importance of cultivating a relationship with oneself, and how that relationship compares in importance and in necessity with the relationships with those around us.This inquiry brings up a lot of questions about the difference between being an introvert and self-isolation.

On this week's episode of In The Circle, we are joined by Donna, who asks such a brave, honest, and raw question: Is It Possible To Fully Heal From Sexual Trauma?Can the trauma of childhood sexual abuse be overcome? The unfortunate reality is that sexual and physical abuse are very present in our world. Donna's inquiry gives us an opportunity to explore healing from these deep, formative wounds.I believe that healing is always possible. It requires a combination of ingredients, a certain alchemy, and a willingness to sow the seeds of forgiveness and compassion for oneself and others. Frankly, it is incredibly difficult, but absolutely attainable, especially for someone who asks a question such as this.Tommy discussesLetting go of trauma and abuseAre unconscious beliefs holding you back from healing?Does time heal all wounds?Can we change for the better?Embracing and accepting your woundsLooking for a way to deepen your recovery journey and meet others in the Recovery 2.0 community?

On this week's episode of In The Circle, we are joined by Elizabeth, who brings an incredibly powerful inquiry: How Can I Remain Spiritual During Troubling Times?So many people I speak with are feeling lost, sad, depressed, or despairing in the face of the world's difficulties. Of course, it doesn't help that we are attached to devices that inform us endlessly of other people's challenges.This inquiry gives us a moment to explore the Serenity Prayer: “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” Through this, we can develop a strategy for managing the myriad of challenges that the people of the world are facing.Tommy discussesThe danger of the newsAccept the things you cannot changeWe are all spiritual beingsThere is more light than darkness in the worldLooking for a way to deepen your recovery journey and meet others in the Recovery 2.0 community?

On this week's episode of In The Circle, Galen brings to light the addictive nature of procrastination when he inquires: How Can I Overcome The Hidden Addiction Of Procrastination?When we actively avoid things we need to do and even things we may want to do, it erodes our confidence and compels us to take some action to relieve ourselves of the negative emotions that ensue. I look at procrastination as one of the four aggravations. Negative thinking, self-doubt, procrastination, and resentment. It is a pattern of belief and behavior that truly gets in the way of a person's happiness.This brings the concept of addiction to everyone's doorstep. For who among us has not experienced procrastination?This pattern needs to be worked on to live a great life.Tommy discussesHow to overcome procrastinationThe four aggravationsOne small step makes a massive impactWhy you don't need labelsEveryone's recovery journey looks differentLooking for a way to deepen your recovery journey and meet others in the Recovery 2.0 community?
