5B TIM CURRY TRIBUTE (27 AUG 26)

Yesterday, the world lost Tim Curry at the age of 80; an actor whose career was built in the wonderfully strange corners of entertainment. Depending on when you first encountered him, Tim Curry was either a flamboyant scientist, a terrifying clown, a suspicious butler, a scheming hotel concierge, a legendary pirate or the voice behind one of animation’s most eccentric fathers. This morning, we’re celebrating the characters, performances and glorious theatricality that made him unforgettable. I have six Tim Curry trivia questions for the team. Names are your buzzers and if you survive the quiz, we have one final Tim Curry performance that has been hiding dangerously close to home.

5B BASADI WOMEN IN MUSIC AWARDS WITH MANAILENG MAPHIKE AND BOIPELO “RADIO BAE” MOOKETSI (27 AUG 26)

The fifth Basadi in Music Awards will be broadcast across two nights on SABC2 and SABC Plus: the Main Awards on Saturday, 29 August at 21:00, followed by the Vanguard Awards on Sunday, 30 August at 21:00. For five years, the Basadi in Music Awards have worked to ensure that the women shaping African music and entertainment are not only heard, but properly seen, celebrated and remembered. This year’s milestone edition, themed REWIND: Your BIMA, Your Way, unfolded across two nights at the Joburg Theatre, honouring major recording artists as well as the presenters, producers, managers, journalists, stylists and other women helping to power the industry behind the scenes. Those celebrations are now coming to television and one of the winners is very much part of the 5FM family. Boipelo “Radio Bae” Mooketsi was named Entertainment Radio Presenter of the Year. She joins us in studio alongside entertainment attorney and Basadi in Music Awards Advisory Board member Manaileng Maphike to look back at five years of Basadi, the importance of recognising women across the entire creative ecosystem and, of course, to celebrate Radio Bae’s big win.

5B GUESS THE CELEBRITY (27 AUG 26)

He came from suburbia dressed like the ambassador of a country that never existed, Asked powerful people questions so foolish their answers became evidence, And proved stupidity can be devastating when the idiot is secretly the smartest man in the room. He turned tinted glasses, sportswear and questionable grammar into investigative equipment, Made politicians explain civilisation to someone apparently losing the argument with English, Then became so convincing that distinguished guests forgot they were inside a joke.

5B GUESS THE CELEBRITY (26 AUG 26)

He annoyed parents so efficiently they practically became his marketing department, Turned one troubled fan into a dictionary entry used worldwide, Then skipped an Oscar win because apparently history could wait until morning.

5B WOMEN WHO MOVE US - DR NOMHLE NGWENYA

Dr Nomhle Ngwenya became the youngest person to earn a PhD in Wits University’s Faculty of Science, completing it at 25. She also became the first Black woman at Wits to progress directly from an honours degree into a PhD. Today, as CEO of the Science, Technology and Innovation Business Forum, she works at the intersection of science, business, academia and government. The interview should not be a CV walk-through. The central question is: What happens after you become the first?

He and two brothers built an island without water and a death without burial, For this, the real jailers answered fiction with handcuffs and violence, Decades later, another imagined land borrowed his tongue and called it home.
