As Bafana Bafana prepares to take on the world at the FIFA World Cup 2026, Rugby World Cup winners Steven Kitshoff and Trevor Nyakane join us to discuss why this is a moment for all Sout Africans to unite behind the national football team. Drawing on their own experiences of representing the country on the biggest sporting stages, they reflect on the pride, pressure, and responsibility that comes with wearing a South African jersey, the power of sport to bring people together, and why supporting South African excellence should transcend sporting codes. Together, they share a message of national pride and rally the nation behind Bafana Bafana's World Cup journey.

5B SOUTH AFRICA CAN’T SPELL “QUEUE,” AND HONESTLY, FAIR

What word can you spell perfectly until someone is watching you type it? A new study has revealed South Africa’s most commonly misspelled words, and the results are both relatable and humbling. From "colour" and "favourite" to "jewellery" and "queue", we unpack why these everyday words continue to trip people up and what this says about the wonderfully chaotic nature of the English language. We also explore whether autocorrect and AI are making us better communicators or slowly eroding our spelling skills in a world where typing has become a daily survival skill.

+South Africa is not just getting spam calls anymore. We are being hunted by call centres with stamina.

5B MONEY MONDAYS_8 JUNE

This week, we're diving into a topic that sounds a little mysterious, a little controversial, and a whole lot interesting: "Everything They Don't Want You To Know About Money." Now before anyone starts wearing tinfoil hats, we're not talking about secret underground vaults or hidden treasure maps. We're talking about the money lessons people often learn too late in life; the things that aren't always taught in classrooms, around the dinner table, or even in the workplace. Things like how debt really works. Why saving is harder than it sounds. How banks make money. And why some people seem to understand money differently from everyone else. So I put a big question to our Money Babies: What don't your teachers, family, or friends want you to know about money? Because sometimes the most valuable financial lessons aren't the ones you're taught; they're the ones you discover for yourself
