Podcast appearances and mentions of Ray White

If you've been in real estate for more than 5 minutes, you already know that recruitment can feel like a never ending headache. The revolving door, the job ads that go nowhere, the people who seem perfect on paper but last 3 months tops, it all adds up. And in property management, where expectations are high and the pace is relentless, it can wear even the most experienced business owners down.In this episode I chat with Katie Cotton who is Managing Director Recruit RE formerly of Ray White and has been a driving force behind strategic Recruitment, Recognition, and Retention initiatives that have strengthened the network. Katie has spent almost a decade inside real estate and another chunk of her career in tech, franchising and recruitment. She's seen the industry evolve and she understands why so many agencies are struggling to hire and keep good people.What I love most about Katie is that she doesn't sugarcoat the challenges, but she also doesn't accept that “this is just how it is.” She has a clear view of where recruitment is breaking down and what needs to shift if we want teams that are stable, aligned and actually happy to be where they work.This episode is a chance to rethink how we hire, what we value and the way we build cultures in a world where everyone wants different things and where the industry isn't always keeping up. “  We often get caught up trying to find the perfect skillset instead of the perfect person, and that's where recruitment keeps falling apart” -Katie CottonWe cover:Why hiring feels so exhausting right now in property management and the real reasons so many teams are burning outThe biggest mistake agencies make in job ads and why leaving out the salary turns great people away instantlyHow confusing, over the top job descriptions are scaring off the exact candidates who would actually thrive in the roleWhy the right attitude and energy can matter far more than ticking every technical skill boxThe growing gap between long time Property Managers and the newer generation stepping in, and how that divide shapes cultureThe leadership behaviours that push good people out, even when the business means wellWhy so many people leave real estate in January and what owners can do to prepare for itKylie's Resources:Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/ The PM Accelerate Membership: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/accelerate Book a Strategy Call with Kylie: https://calendly.com/kylie-tpm/coaching-call Kolmeo: https://kolmeo.com/ Find out about our Done for You Lead Generation - https://calendly.com/kylie-tpm/done-for-you-leads-discovery-call35 AI Prompts to...

Ray White speaks to Adam Glichrist about today’s top stories from around the globe. First, a startling twist in Thailand, where a 65-year-old woman brought to a Buddhist temple for cremation was discovered alive in her coffin, a shocking reminder of how fragile life can be. Next, French President Emmanuel Macron announced plans for a new voluntary military national service, reassuring citizens that it “does not involve sending our youth to Ukraine,” following public concern sparked by warnings of Russian threats. Finally, in the world of encryption, the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR) had to cancel its leadership election results after a trustee lost part of the encrypted key, leaving the outcome inaccessible, a routine process turned into a high-stakes puzzle. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Ray White speaks to Kenneth Kgwadi, research fellow at the Middle East Africa Research Institute (MEARI), about the latest setback in Sudan’s stalled peace efforts after army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan rejected the US-backed “Quad” truce proposal, dismissing it as the worst plan yet and accusing the UAE of quietly supporting the RSF. The move highlights the deepening mistrust between Sudan’s warring sides and the international mediators attempting to bring them to the negotiating table. As the conflict continues, millions remain trapped in what has become the world’s largest displacement crisis, with both the army and the RSF convinced they can still secure a military victory. Kgwadi helps break down why diplomacy is failing, how external powers are complicating the conflict, and whether any viable path to peace remains for Sudan at this critical moment. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Ray White speaks to Xanthea Limberg, SALGA Deputy President, as the 2025 SALGA National Members Assembly enters a decisive phase in eThekwini. A central theme emerging from this week’s discussions is the urgent call to strengthen the financial foundations of municipalities, with leaders warning that without a sustainable and reformed funding model, meaningful improvements in service delivery will remain out of reach. Limberg unpacks the conversations taking place on the proposed review of the municipal funding framework, the challenges facing local government finances, and the steps SALGA believes are essential to stabilise and professionalise municipalities across the country. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Ray White speaks to Talitha Sachane, CSI Manager at Total Energies, about the company’s ongoing support for meaningful social impact in South Africa. Since 1997, Total Energies has quietly partnered with Buskaid in Soweto, a project where young people use violins and cellos as a pathway to a brighter future. What began with borrowed office space has grown into a world-class music school, producing talented musicians who have performed for presidents, royalty, and even at the BBC Proms. Sachane discusses how this partnership demonstrates real impact beyond corporate branding, nurturing talent, creating opportunities, and changing lives. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Ray White speaks about two trending moments with Khabazela: first, people who are naturally good with kids — those special individuals whom children instantly gravitate toward, and what it is about them that makes kids feel so comfortable; and second, South Africans sharing their favourite “best bench views,” from hidden lookout points to iconic scenic spots, prompting the question: do you know of a bench in SA with a breathtaking view, or what do you think is the most beautiful view in the country? 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Ray White speaks to former ward 102 councillor Lucinda Harman about the escalating intimidation and violence facing Johannesburg’s councillors, where serving the public is increasingly becoming a fight for personal safety. Harman describes a city where death threats, shootings, and high-profile resignations are becoming alarmingly common, with council meetings collapsing under factional battles, legal threats, and power plays that resemble a political battleground rather than a functional chamber. She delves into the rise of construction mafias, the breakdown of safety structures, and the emotional toll on those trying to govern amid chaos. Harman offers insight into what Johannesburg is facing now, what this means for the months ahead, and whether the city is slipping toward becoming ungovernable. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Ray White catches up with Adam Gilchrist for a gripping sweep through today’s global headlines, starting with the horrifying case of two young Texas men accused of plotting to invade Haiti’s Gonave Island by recruiting homeless people as mercenaries, murdering the island’s men and enslaving women and children to fulfil violent “rape fantasies.” In Canada, officials in British Columbia are searching for three grizzly bears involved in a shocking attack on a school group in Bella Coola, amid what locals say are escalating bear encounters in the remote community. And in the UK, eccentric aristocrat Sir Benjamin Slade, 79, has launched yet another search for a wife excluding anyone under 5ft 6, anyone younger than 20 years his junior, any Guardian reader and, controversially, all Scots, sparking debate over elitism and eccentricity in modern Britain. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Ray White speaks to Sarah Nicholson, Head of Customer Experience at Just Money, as Black Friday in South Africa shifts from a bargain-hunting frenzy to a high-risk financial minefield. What was once a fun retail tradition has increasingly become a season of regret, with shoppers falling prey to impulse buying, misleading “specials” and an alarming rise in AI-powered scams that mimic real retailers with frightening accuracy. Nicholson breaks down why the popular “no refund/no exchange” signs many stores still display are actually illegal, and how consumers can spot the new generation of scams, from polished fake websites to cloned social media pages. She also warns of the January financial hangover, when the consequences of November’s trolley-filling spree finally arrive in the form of mounting debt. Beyond consumers, we look at how small businesses navigate Black Friday without slashing prices so deeply that they jeopardise their own survival. Today, we unpack the risks, the rights and the practical steps South Africans can take to protect both their money and their peace of mind this shopping season. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Ray White and Khabazela dive into the latest viral trends and relatable social media moments, starting with “I deleted it…” a story that has everyone asking: have you ever accidentally deleted something important, or just thought you did? The conversation then moves to “Things I won’t touch,” exploring the quirky, gross, or downright untouchable items that people refuse to handle, sparking laughs, shared experiences, and a peek into the everyday boundaries we all set for ourselves online and off. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Ray White speaks to Billy Monama, renowned guitarist and composer, as South Africa welcomes the return of the Mayibuye iAfrika Concert, now back for its 4th edition this Reconciliation Month. This year’s theme, “The Rebirth of Ubuntu,” anchors a four-hour musical journey designed to reconnect audiences with heritage, healing and community spirit. Monama curates an expansive celebration featuring a full 20-piece orchestra, weaving together storytelling, tradition and contemporary vibrancy. The lineup is a rare meeting of Mzansi’s musical giants, including Simphiwe Dana, Judith Sephuma and Hotstix Mabuse, alongside rising voices like Langa Mavuso and Maleh. And with musical direction led by a US Grammy-winning producer, the production promises a world-class sonic experience rooted deeply in South African identity. This morning, we unpack the vision, the artistry and the cultural power behind Mayibuye iAfrika with the man at the centre of it all, Billy Monama. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Ray White speaks to Sindisiwe Chikunga, Minister of Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities, as South Africa begins its annual 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. This year, the government’s message is sharper and more urgent: the fight against GBV cannot be confined to a two-week campaign, it demands unwavering commitment throughout the year. Chikunga outlines a national call to action urging men, women, young people, filmmakers, the media and civil society to step beyond symbolic gestures and work collectively to end violence. Meanwhile, Gauteng launched its provincial campaign, and government introduced a new GBVF Dashboard designed to provide real-time data, transparency and accountability. The initiative comes in the wake of last week’s powerful march, where survivors and activists reiterated that gender-based violence has been a devastating pandemic long before Covid-19 and remains unresolved. On the show today, we examine the widening gap between government’s bold commitments and the harsh daily realities faced by communities. More critically, we explore what concrete interventions are needed to finally shift this campaign from awareness… to genuine safety and lasting change. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Ray White speaks to Lehlohonolo Thobela, Meteorologist and Weather Forecaster at the South African Weather Service, about the increasingly volatile weather patterns sweeping across the country. Thobela explains that the recent hail, thunder and heavy downpours are likely just the beginning, with early next year expected to bring even more intense and frequent storms. Gauteng, already gearing up for a week of dramatic skies, will see powerful systems early in the week followed by lighter showers into the weekend. While the rainfall offers relief to some farmers, others face mounting losses as crops suffer under severe conditions. With major dams such as the Vaal and Bloemhof still sitting at high levels after days of relentless rain, authorities are closely managing water flows to reduce the risk of flooding. Thobela breaks down what’s happening now, what South Africans can expect in the months ahead, and how best to prepare for a potentially rough summer season. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

In this episode, Ray White shares a talk he gave to organizational leaders of a local non-profit. He highlights his personal leadership journey, blending his corporate role in healthcare IT with active community engagement to illustrate what inclusive leadership truly means. Drawing from over a decade of middle management in a Healthcare IT department, Ray unpacks how he navigates complex organizational structures, fosters team cohesion, and bridges technical expertise with people-centered leadership. He candidly discusses challenges like overcoming burnout, learning to say no, and embracing vulnerability to build trust and accountability within his teams. Ray also highlights the importance of aligning one's authentic self across all leadership spaces—corporate and community—and shares practical time management strategies such as Michael Hyatt's "ideal work week" to balance competing priorities.

Ray White speaks with ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba as the Johannesburg mayoral race gains momentum. While speculation grows around his return, Mashaba says he won’t contest unless ActionSA can’t find another strong candidate — citing Tshwane Mayor Dr. Nasiphi Moya as a prime example of black excellence and capable leadership. He stresses that it’s not about holding onto power, but about grooming the right talent to lead Joburg and other Gauteng metros. This comes as the DA proposes Helen Zille as a contender, fuelling debate over the city’s future direction. From fixing potholes in Alexandra to challenging broken systems, Mashaba remains active on the ground — but will he run, or make way for new leadership? 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Ray White speaks with Nicole Solomon, AECI Group Head of DEI and Social Impact, in studio, about a nationwide initiative inspiring the next generation of leaders. As South Africa marks 30 years of democracy, the Future Leaders Challenge — a collaboration between AECI, Primestars, and The YouthStart Foundation — is asking young people to step up and lead with purpose. Inspired by icons like Nelson Mandela and Albertina Sisulu, the programme is reaching thousands of high school learners across the country, from Gauteng’s urban centres to rural classrooms in KwaZulu-Natal. Focused on servant leadership, the challenge equips learners to not just imagine a better South Africa, but to actively build it. As the initiative heads towards its leadership summit, one question remains: is the next Mandela already sitting in a Grade 10 class today? 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Ray White speaks to Vicki Turner in today’s edition of World View, where global headlines meet sharp analysis. First, we peer into the power dynamics and strategic minds of Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin — what drives their decisions, and what does the West often get wrong about them? Then, we head to the UK, where concerns are growing over whether freedom of speech is being eroded by tightening legislation and social pressures. And finally, one for the absurd files: a multi-million-dollar luxury yacht sinks just 15 minutes after launch — raising eyebrows and memes around the world. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Ray White speaks to Lana Roy, Afrika Tikkun’s lead, about a game-changing moment for the continent — the first-ever Valuable 500 African Summit, happening on the 9th of September. With 200 to 300 million Africans living with disabilities, the summit puts a long-overdue spotlight on inclusion, not just in policy, but in practice — in boardrooms, workplaces, and leadership spaces. Hosted by Afrika Tikkun and the Gauteng Provincial Government, the event aims to bring business, government, and communities together to push disability rights to the top of Africa’s development agenda. As the G20 summit approaches, Africa is sending a clear message: a truly inclusive future leaves no one behind. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Ray White speaks to GroundUp journalist Marecia Damons about some of South Africa’s most pressing and painful realities — from deadly inner-city buildings to a crucial fight over sex work laws and looming changes to the SASSA system. Two years after the Usindiso Building fire in Johannesburg claimed 77 lives, residents are still living in so-called ‘dark buildings’ — unsafe, unhygienic spaces with no meaningful improvements and a fire commission report still under wraps. On another front, a groundbreaking legal battle to decriminalise adult sex work is gaining traction as dozens of organisations join the case. And in an important welfare update, Postbank has secured a 15-month extension to phase out the old SASSA Gold Cards, ensuring uninterrupted grants for around 450,000 recipients. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Ray White speaks to Khabazela about the stories grabbing attention online — from relatable parenting moments to luxury gone wrong.

The second trending clip shows a brand-new luxury yacht sinking just hours after launch, sparking a wave of stories from people who’ve had disastrous luck with big purchases. From funny to painful, these viral moments hit close to home. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Ray White speaks to suspended Chief Director of Communications at the Department of Social Development, Lumka Oliphant, as questions mount over government spending and internal power struggles. The department is under fire after reports surfaced that it spent roughly R3 million on a delegation to a UN meeting in New York — at a time when millions of South Africans face poverty and unemployment. Critics argue that virtual attendance or smaller delegations could deliver the same diplomatic value at a fraction of the cost. But the story doesn’t end there — Oliphant, who raised red flags about these trips, has been suspended. She alleges that her suspension is politically motivated and tied to internal factional battles within the department. With taxpayers footing the bill and accountability in short supply, the public wants answers: who decides how money is spent, and who’s really calling the shots at Social Development? 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

In this episode of The Property Nerds, chief economist at Ray White, Nerida Conisbee, returns for her third appearance, diving into the power of data, infrastructure insights, and interest rate trends shaping Australia's property market. Speaking with hosts Arjun Paliwal and Adrian Lee from InvestorKit, and Jack Fouracre from Fouracre Financial, Nerida lifts the lid on how Ray White uses its vast network of auction, residential, commercial, and lending data into powerful market intelligence – giving agents and investors a competitive edge in real time. She explains how her transition from REA Group to Ray White opened up new opportunities to interpret on-the-ground trends, such as buyer sentiment and pricing movement, before they show up in traditional reports. Nerida unpacks how access to granular data has led to new insights and revenue streams, and why AI is turbocharging suburb-level analysis. She also breaks down recent movements in interest rate sentiment, noting how market momentum picked up in early 2025 off the back of expected rate cuts – and what this means for investor timing and opportunity. From the strength of Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth, to the true influence of infrastructure projects on property prices, this episode is packed with practical takeaways, including how investors can filter the noise, read the signals, and understand the timing and type of infrastructure that drives value.
