5MM REAL TALK, NO FILTER - SHOULD YOUR FRIENDSHIP CHANGE WHEN YOUR BEST FRIEND GETS A PARTNER

Friendships naturally change as people get older, move cities, start families and enter new relationships. But how much should a friendship change when your best friend gets a new partner? We hear a listener’s voice note and unpack where friendship, relationships and boundaries fit together.

5MM 90-DAY CHALLENGE

It’s back-to-school time, so we’re putting your teen movie knowledge to the test! These are the movies we grew up watching — the ones that had us believing high school would be filled with dramatic makeovers, massive house parties, cliques and somehow absolutely no actual schoolwork. We’re going to play you a clip featuring three scenes from three different teen movies, and your job is simple: name all three movies correctly. Let’s see how well you really know your teen movie classics!

5MM CULTURE SHIFT - DID YOU END UP WORKING IN THE FIELD YOU STUDIED

It’s back-to-school today, and for matrics, we’re getting into that final stretch of the year. Final exams are around the corner, university applications are being finalised, and suddenly you’re expected to make some pretty big decisions about what comes next.At 17 or 18, you're basically being asked: “What do you want to do with the rest of your life?”And traditionally, the path felt quite straightforward. You finished school, chose what you wanted to study, got the qualification and then went into that profession. You studied accounting, you became an accountant. You studied teaching, you became a teacher. Your qualification was almost seen as the blueprint for your career.But that path doesn't necessarily look as straightforward anymore.Today, you can study one thing and end up working in a completely different industry. Someone with a law degree could end up in marketing. Someone who studied engineering could move into finance. Someone with a communications degree could build a career in tech. And some people might change careers several times throughout their working lives. There are obviously professions where the qualification still directly determines what you can do — you're not becoming a doctor because you watched a few YouTube videos. But for a lot of careers, your degree might be the beginning of your working life rather than a decision about what you'll do forever.And maybe that's an important conversation to have at this time of year, because there are thousands of young people choosing degrees right now who might feel like they're choosing their entire future.So we want to hear from people who have already been through it.

5MM THE GREEN ID BOOK FINALLY HAS AN EXPIRY DATE

If you’re still walking around with that little green ID book, this one is for you — because after years of hearing that it’s eventually going away, we finally have actual dates. Home Affairs has announced that it will stop producing green ID books on 31 March 2027. But don't panic and throw yours away just yet! If you already have one, it will remain valid for another year. From 31 March 2028, the green ID book will officially no longer be recognised as a valid form of identification.  And there are still a LOT of them out there. Home Affairs says around 14.7 million South African citizens and permanent residents still only have the green ID book. The department wants those people to move over to Smart IDs before the deadline.  Part of the reason for getting rid of it is security. Because it's paper-based and the photograph can be physically manipulated, Home Affairs says research has identified the green book as one of the most fraud-prone identity documents on the continent.  And getting a Smart ID is becoming easier too. As of August, Smart ID services had expanded to 372 participating bank branches, with more than half a million people already using the bank programme to make the switch.  So, basically: the green mamba is officially entering retirement.

5MM REAL TALK, NO FILTER - THE TEACHER YOU'LL NEVER FORGET

In celebration of World Teachers’ Day, Karabo and Yonaka give flowers to the teachers who left a lasting impression on our lives. Karabo gave her primary school teacher an appreciation call and tears were shed. Listeners share the teachers they’ll never forget and the moments, lessons and words that have stayed with them long after leaving the classroom.

5MM CULTURE SHIFT - ARE WE LIVING IN THE AGE OF QUIET QUITTING

Quiet quitting may have started as a workplace trend, but are we now quietly quitting friendships, relationships and other parts of our lives too? Karabo and Yonaka unpack whether slowly pulling away is a healthy way of protecting your peace — or whether we’re becoming more reluctant to have uncomfortable conversations.

5MM LOVE LETTER TO MZANSI 01

After celebrating Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape, Love Letters to Mzansi opens the floor to the rest of the country. South Africans are invited to share what they genuinely love about their province — from the food and slang to the music, people, traditions, landscapes and everyday things that make home feel like home. This isn't about the biggest tourist attractions; it's about the things locals know and love that give each province its own personality.

5B WHAT’S A FRIENDSHIP DEALBREAKER YOU DON’T THINK PEOPLE TAKE SERIOUSLY ENOUGH

We talk a lot about dealbreakers in romantic relationships, but friendships have them too. From constantly cancelling plans and only calling when they need something, to breaking your trust, competing with you or disappearing when you need support, some behaviours can slowly change the way you see a friend. Real Talk No Filter asks: Is there a friendship dealbreaker you think people are way too willing to overlook?
