5B SKETCHY BONGO ON 5 BREAKFAST (06 FEB 26)

This morning on 5 Breakfast, we’re joined in studio by one of the producers who helped shape the sound of South African pop and Afro-house over the last decade; Sketchy Bongo. After a five-year hiatus, Sketchy is officially back, kicking off a brand-new chapter with his album One26 On M and the lead single “No Getting Over You”, featuring the ever-smooth Jimmy Nevis.   It’s a comeback rooted in growth, reflection, and still knowing how to make a song that hits you in the feelings and the hips. Sketchy’s hanging out with us for the next two segments; talking music, the break, the return, and we’ve got a game lined up too.

5B IT'S RAINING IGUANA’S (06 FEB 26)

So Florida had a proper cold snap... and suddenly people started seeing iguanas dropping out of trees like nature’s most confusing plot twist.   Here’s the key detail: when it gets cold enough, green iguanas basically shut down. They’re cold blooded (reptiles), so their bodies run on external heat. No heat? No movement. They go stiff, lose their grip, and fall. That’s why you’ll see them on lawns, sidewalks, patios looking like they’ve clocked out of life. But many of them can “reboot” once they warm up.

5B SOUTH AFRICA’S SOCIAL MEDIA BAN TALK, EXPLAINED (05 FEB 26)

There’s fresh chatter about South Africa potentially age-gating or “banning” kids from TikTok and Instagram; and MyBroad- band went straight to digital law expert Emma Sadleir to ask: would it work here? Her answer is basically: Yes, it’s a good idea... but no, it won’t land unless we can actually enforce it. And that’s the key: a ban isn’t a vibe. A ban is a system. If the system is weak, all you’ve done is print a PDF and call it “safety”.
