Kiddies Hotline: Something you’d like to learn how to do this year?

Today is World Cancer Day, and this year’s theme, “United by Unique,” reminds us that while every cancer journey is personal, prevention is a shared responsibility. In South Africa, the urgency is real. The National Cancer Registry recorded 87 853 new cancer cases in 2023, with experts warning the true number may be even higher. With cancer cases projected to nearly double by 2030, early detection and prevention are no longer optional, they’re essential. Today, we were joined by Justine Lacy, Clinical Executive at Profmed, who believes too many people are diagnosed late, not because they don’t care, but because they lack access to the right information. Today’s conversation asks one key question: how do we move from awareness to action on cancer prevention? Listen in here...

Every Wednesday the little ones of our province melt our airwaves with their cuteness. It’s a chance for the kids of KZN to share something with us. This week Stacey and J Sbu asked the little ones of the province: What is something you'd like to learn how to do this year? This is what your kiddies had to say...

On today’s Great Drive Debate, we’re having a sensitive but important conversation. This discussion is about honesty, not judgement and about understanding parental fatigue, not questioning love for children. Should parents be allowed to say they regret becoming parents, without being cancelled? Stacey and J Sbu shared the airwaves with you. Here's how it all went down..

The red carpet. The biggest stars in music. Absolute confusion. J Sbu anchors a very serious Grammys cross… while Stacey reports live from what starts as Hollywood glamour and slowly unravels into something else entirely. Big wins, bigger emotions, questionable interviews and a reality check no one saw coming. It’s polished. It’s chaotic. It’s journalism-adjacent at best. Press play for a behind-the-scenes moment that proves not all live crosses go to plan.

Sharks rugby fullback Aphelele Fassi joined Stacey and J Sbu in studio ahead of what promises to be a humdinger clash against the DHL Stormers this weekend! Sports lead Nick Tatham started things off with a quick Q & A with Fassi before the team surprised him with a call from a loved one. Here's how it all went down...

Every Wednesday, the little ones of our province take over our airwaves with their cuteness. It’s a chance for the kids of KZN to share something with us. This week we asked the kids of KZN: What's the one thing girls your age should stop apologising for? Here's what your little ones had to say...

Stacey and J Sbu unpacked one of South Africa’s biggest post-school questions: is university still worth the cost, or are degrees being oversold? The debate touched on rising tuition fees, limited access, student debt and the pressure facing young people today. The YES side argued that degrees still open doors, offering valuable skills, stronger employment prospects and long-term career flexibility. The NO side pushed back, highlighting graduate unemployment, underemployment and deep inequality, backed by real-life experiences from KZN and beyond. Listener calls and voice notes shaped the conversation and brought the debate to life.

If you’re sitting with a matric certificate right now and wondering whether there’s space for you in the system, this one matters. Higher Education Minister Buti Manamela says South Africa’s post-school education system is not in crisis, but it is under serious pressure. Around 650,000 learners passed matric, but post-school institutions can only absorb just over 80% of them. Speaking in Pretoria, Manamela has challenged what he calls a “university-only mindset”, saying universities were never meant to be the sole pathway after school. If you missed it live, tune in!

There’s a moment that sneaks up on all of us, when you hear a song and think, “This still feels new.” And then you realise, it’s not. It’s ten years old, a full decade. Somewhere between loading playlists and saying “just one more song”, time quietly sprinted past us. We've created a montage of the songs that turn 10 years in 2026, the kind you still sing like they came out last summer, but in reality, they’ve been around long enough to have their own anniversary candles. These are the tracks that make you question time itself, the ones that don’t feel old enough to be nostalgic, yet somehow are.

Every Wednesday, Aunty Stacey and Uncle J Sbu let the kiddos of KZN take over. They pose a question and allow your little ones to share their thoughts. This week they asked your kiddos: "How much do you think it cost for all your school supplies?" Here's what the kiddos of KZN had to say...
