+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

5B GAME ON! WOZA WEEKEND:

This morning on Game On: Woza Weekend, we're shining a spotlight on one of South Africa's brightest young sporting talents. At just 14 years old, Gqeberha-born racing driver Aashay Nagura is already competing against some of the best young karting drivers in Europe; recently taking on back-to-back race weekends in the United Kingdom as part of his international development programme. And while the results are impressive, it's his resilience, determination, and rapid growth that's really turning heads. From teaching himself the basics through racing games on a PlayStation, to helping raise money for his first kart through a community raffle, to now racing internationally and chasing a dream of representing South Africa at the highest levels of motorsport, Aashay's journey is just getting started. This morning, we’re catching up with one of the country's most exciting young racers to find out what it's really like competing on the world stage at just 14 years old.
