For a long time, conditions like high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and kidney failure were thought of as older people's problems. But that picture is changing. We're seeing more and more stories of people in their 20s, 30s and 40s suffering strokes, being diagnosed with hypertension, and facing serious health challenges that previous generations might only have encountered much later in life. This morning, we're joined by Dr Andrian Dreyer, a specialist physician with a special interest in cardiometabolic medicine, to help us understand why lifestyle diseases appear to be affecting y

5B THE WORLD CUP DREAM NOW COMES WITH A YEAR’S SALARY RECEIPT (02 JUNE 26)

When did supporting your national team become a financial decision that needs a spreadsheet, a prayer circle and maybe a side hustle selling koeksisters at scale? Because for South Africans dreaming of watching Bafana Bafana at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the dream is giving “global football festival”… but the receipt is giving “deposit on a small car.” We’re talking flights, hotels, tickets, food, visas, local transport, internal flights, exchange rates, and the silent assassin: the US dollar looking at the rand like it owes it money.

5B MONEY MONDAYS_1 JUNE

It’s Monday; which means it’s time to stretch your money mindset on Money Mondays  with Xoli Zondo and Gerald Mwandiambira.  This week, we’re unpacking a financial trend that’s becoming more and more common;  “Buy Now, Pay Later.”  You’ve probably seen it while shopping online or in stores. Instead of paying the full  amount upfront, you take the item home today and pay for it over time. Sounds convenient, right? But is it a smart money tool… or a fast track to spending money you don’t actually have? So Xoli asked our Money Babies a big question: what do they think about “Buy Now,  Pay Later”? Does it make life easier by helping people afford things when cash is tight?  Or is it a way to get more people into debt?  And perhaps the biggest question of all: when they grow up, would they use it them selves? Because sometimes the easiest way to buy something today can have consequences  for your money tomorrow.

5B GUESS THE CELEBRITY_1 JUNE

“He is too windswept to be a traditional balladeer, too emotionally available to be a detached indie boy, and too earnest to hide behind irony for long. He writes like someone who still believes in grand gestures, sings like someone raised on technique, and moves through pop not as a rebel smashing windows, but as the smiling architect replacing them with bigger glass.”

5B GUESS THE CELEBRITY_29 MAY

“In one life, she is a teenage television asset trapped in an eternal sitcom loop.  In another, she is a Broadway veteran who got lost on the way to the pop charts.  In another, she is a high-altitude weather pattern capable of bringing both sunshine and  rain simultaneously.  In this one, she wore a ponytail like armor and outgrew every box they built for her.”
