SHOULD BAFANA BAFANA'S BONUSES BE TAXED

THERE ISN'T AN US ANYMORE
When Bafana Bafana brings pride to the nation on the global stage, they also bring home some massive paydays—like the multimillion-rand bonuses promised for their historic runs. But as soon as the celebrations wind down, a massive national debate always sparks up: should our national sports heroes actually have their hard-earned bonuses taxed by SARS (South African Revenue Service)?
PROFESSIONALS IN THE FAMILY THAT GET USED
Having a specialized degree or a technical trade is a massive achievement—until Sunday lunch rolls around and your relatives realize they can get your professional services for the grand price of absolutely free. In this highly relatable segment, the 5 Drive team tackles the universal struggle of the "family tax." Whether you are a doctor who constantly receives WhatsApp photos of questionable rashes at midnight, an IT specialist expected to fix Auntie’s slow tablet, a mechanic asked to "just listen" to a weird engine noise, or a lawyer drafted to write a letter of demand to a difficult neighbor—the crew exposes the professions that suffer the most from family exploitation.
RISING AGAINST HUNGER ON MANDELA MONTH
In this powerful and community-focused segment, the 5 Drive team highlights 5FM’s massive annual partnership with Rise Against Hunger Africa for Mandela Month, rallying the 5 Nation to turn compassion into physical, life-changing action.
COMMENTATORS ARE BACK ON THE 5DRIVE SHOOT OUT
The legendary 5 Drive Shoot-Out has always been a high-pressure, fast-paced trivia showdown, but the chaos officially steps up a gear when the backseat drivers return. In this highly entertaining segment, the "commentators"—whether it is the opinionated host crew, previous contestants, or highly animated listeners—are officially back on the sidelines to analyze, mock, and narrate every single move.
SCANDALS FROM ROYAL FAMILIES
When you think your family drama is bad, just remember that royal families have been airing their highly scandalous, chaotic, and incredibly expensive laundry for centuries. The 5 Drive team dives deep into the glittering, dramatic, and often utterly bizarre world of global royalty. While we tend to think of kings, queens, princes, and princesses as the epitome of poise and proper behavior, history (and the modern tabloids) tells a completely different story.
I WOULD SUCJ AT THIS REALITY TV SHOW
We all like to sit on the couch and judge reality TV contestants, but let’s be honest—most of us wouldn't last five minutes if the cameras started rolling.The crew breaks down the specific reality TV formats that would absolutely break them:
WE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BRING FOOD
Why are we forced to pay extortionate prices for basic snacks when we could just bring our own, far superior food from home? In this highly passionate and deeply relatable segment, the 5 Drive team takes a stand against one of the most frustrating rules in modern society: the strict "no outside food or drink allowed" policy. Whether you are heading to the cinema, stepping into a sports stadium, boarding a flight, or even visiting certain parks, you are almost always forced to choose between starvation or paying a 300% markup for dry popcorn and a warm soda.

TRUSTING OURSELVES WITH ABSOLUTE POWER
They say power corrupts, but honestly? Most of us can’t even be trusted with the aux cord, let alone actual, unchecked authority. In this hilarious segment, the 5 Drive crew tackles a deeply relatable question: if you were handed absolute power over something even something small could you actually trust yourself to act right? The team dives into the chaotic reality of human nature, sharing the everyday situations where having total control would definitely lead to immediate, hilarious abuse of power (like being the admin of the work WhatsApp group or getting unlimited access to the office credit card).
THE VILJOEN GAME THAT COMES WITH 400K
In this highly entertaining and incredibly topical segment, the 5 Drive team weighs in on the massive social media storm surrounding disbarred South African lawyer and reality TV star Peet Viljoen (husband of Real Housewives of Pretoriastar Mel Viljoen).
