5B KOKI FOR HEAD GIRL - THE SCHOOL CAMPAIGN THAT BROKE THE INTERNET

Every school election needs a campaign. Some people make posters. Some people hand out sweets. Some people promise better school spirit. And then there’s Koketso Bogashu from Hoërskool Jeugland, who somehow turned her campaign to become Head Girl for 2027 into one of the biggest things on South African social media this week. The video she made with her best friend Lelo has now pulled in well over a million views on TikTok, another million-plus on X, and somehow even caught the attention of Missy Elliott, who jumped into the conversation saying she doesn’t know Koki, but she’s got the people rooting for her. So naturally, we needed to meet the girl behind the campaign. Koketso Bogashu, welcome to 5 Breakfast.

SHORTSTRAW ON 5 BREAKFAST

Shortstraw are one of those bands that feel stitched into a particular chapter of South African music; the festivals, the indie scene, the chaos, the singalongs, the songs you somehow still know every word to. And then, for almost five years, things got very quiet. But they weren’t gone. They were living. Building businesses, getting married, starting families, growing up a little; and eventually finding their way back into a room together to make noise again. Today, Shortstraw officially release their new EP, Everything In Between, their first new collection of music in almost five years, and they’re joining us in studio this morning to talk about what brought them back, and they’re going to play something for us live as well. Guys, welcome back to 5 Breakfast.

5B CHILHOOD CANCER AWARENESS MONTH – DR NATASCHE DANIELS

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. On Saturday, 26 September, Cupcakes of Hope will hold National Cupcake Day across more than 80 shopping centres around South Africa, alongside participation from schools, businesses, workplaces and communities. The organisation is asking South Africans to become Cupcake Angels by registering and pledging to bake just 24 cupcakes. People who cannot bake can still participate by buying cupcakes at participating stalls or helping spread the campaign. The scale behind what sounds like a wonderfully simple fundraiser is significant. According to Cupcakes of Hope, in the last year alone the organisation: +  Supported more than 140 children every month. +  Approved almost 2,000 requests for financial assistance. +  Delivered 3,766 Hospital Care Bags. +  Reached children receiving treatment across all 21 paediatric oncology wards in South Africa. +  Mobilised more than 2,400 Cupcake Angels. +  Raised more than R2 million through National Cupcake Day.
