Wholeful
At a very young age, my family went through an incredibly traumatic experience. Not understanding the implications of that as a young child, this influenced many negative decisions in my life, leading to self-sabotage. After 30 years of repeating the same pattern, I decided to speak about it and get…
Brand Boss
My grandfather owned a trading store in a small village in Newcastle where he sold a variety of products. I have fond memories of being awakened by Coca-Cola and Albany bread trucks delivering their products. I was about 8 years old and I was already very brand conscious. I can…
Suwah Notes
I remember the first time I noticed that women get treated a little differently at work. I was six months pregnant and running out of breath to the office. Late, as usual. Visibly pregnant, I asked for a permission slip to park closer to the building. But I was told…
The Laundromat with Dawn Pretorius
It was the Wolfsburg Questionnaire that did it. The Wolfsburg Questionnaire is a list of some 150 questions sent by one bank to another on their initiatives to curb money laundering. Technically, it is supposed to reveal just how compliant the financial institution is that you're working for. But that…
Rediscovered with Kelly Hoffman
She was eight years old, the phone rang. The news broke, so did she. Her idol, her everything, her father - just died. She watched her mom collapse from sheer shock. Overwhelmed by emotions far greater and bigger than her, she stepped outside. Not a tear. She didn't know how…
The Louw Flyer
They say once a horse breathes on your soul, your life is changed forever. I don't remember the first time a horse breathed on me, but I do remember the magic and the absolute conviction that something I could not live without. It is something I've been in pursuit of…
The Grand Café
I remember my grandmother taking me to town with her. We would have lunch together at a posh restaurant called the Grand Café. We would sit by the booth which had the most sun, so it was always warm. We chatted for long, laughed a lot, and she listened with…
The Mantis Monolgues with Kerry Simpson
When I discovered writing and storytelling for the first time, I was around 10 years old when my mom brought out my gran's big old green typewriter. You know the one with those big, heavy, clanky keys that you really had to hammer down hard on? And I remember feeling…
Over the Top with Discover Digital
I was in London in 2003, attending a mobile gaming conference. At the time I was working for a new international motorsport championship, and I believed it may be an opportunity to have a mobile racing game. Bearing in mind, this was still during the feature phone era, smartphones were…
The Man Cave with Tsholo Phiri
My name is Tsholo. I'm always having conversations with my brothers aka friends on our WhatsApp group. And with every check-in, it ends up being a competition of who consumed the best, most expensive alcohol in copious amounts, or which brother got to the hottest chick over the weekend. Mind…
The eight-twelve with Nairobi Twala
Hi, I'm Nairobi Twala. Throughout my childhood, I've always been constantly aware of the world around me, constantly being exposed to the stories of those who came before me and aspire to cultivate change as a result of the lessons learned from those stories. From freedom fighters to media personalities,…
The Ocean of Awareness with Lucy Draper-Clarke
I remember my early years in Sri Lanka, where the serene footsteps of Buddhist monks contrasted with the hooting and chaos of daily life. After 20 years in the UK, I chose to live in Southern Africa, and it was there, on the cow dung floor in the Marico, that…
I See You with Shado Twala
It was in the late 1970s when the Johannesburg city streets were taken over by panga-wielding men who were killing anyone in their path. This was my first experience of black-on-black violence. It shook me to my core, and left me feeling a need for us to rekindle the spirit…
Seeds of Change with Precious Nala
I remember when I was young and my father had been hospitalized for a year, leaving my family vulnerable with no money. He said to me, "To ever be successful, put people first". My family foundation was built on putting people first and that shaped my values. I now have…
The Ruck with Makaziwe Hlatshwayo
I remember watching Brian Habana score the winning try in the 2007 Super Rugby final in a season where a lucky try changed the history of South African rugby forever. The excitement that came over me sparked a lifelong love that I enjoy sharing with friends, family, and fellow enthusiasts…
You Get One, And You Get One, And You Get One with Lee-Ann Hendry
Christmas 1975. Another set of fucking girly PJs that really I had no need for. Shorts and Ts did it for me. Dammit, don't they get me? Know me? How many pairs of PJs do I really need? What would I love to have received? This is where we get…
Survival Guide to South Africa with Tannie Viv
For as long as I can remember, life in South Africa has been diabolical, magnificent, but chaotic, broken, but beautiful. What a wonderful fuckup. Welcome to Tannie Viv's Survival Guide to South Africa. The podcast that speaks to expats abroad and those who cannot leave about surviving a changing landscape…

Be More with Gretha Garnett
What started off as "let's give it a go and see what happens" turned into an overnight success... 15 years later! As a teenage suicide survivor, struggling with bouts of depression throughout my life, as well as suffering with postpartum depression, I know the struggles of running from the shadows…
