Listen properly: Spontaneity or reservations?

We’ve been getting DM’s, voice notes, tags on the socials – TO LEAK the biggest kept secret in terms of music festivals – Africa’s leading afro house music festival, no less… The Anywhere In Your City official line-up. The wait is over. The line-up has been under lock and key; the energy online has been wild. Here's all you need to know from DJ Merlon himself, with some insights from Tim Lewis and Matt Davies.

The school year is wrapping up, the homework is slowing down, the exams are out the way and the holidays are calling. Before we all head into summer mode, we want to hear from you. What were your big highlights this year? Maybe you nailed a tough subject, made a new friend, learned a new sport, joined a club, won an award or finally understood those tricky maths fractions. Maybe you took part in your first concert, became class monitor, improved your reading, or even just survived Grade 4, that counts too.

Are restaurant reservations killing spontaneity? Should a night out be a spontaneous decision or a scheduled appointment? Stacey and J Sbu shared their thoughts on the matter before opening the lines to you! In between, there was a battle with the word 'spontaneity'. Listen in if you missed it live!

This past weekend marked a historic moment for South Africa and the African continent. For the first time ever, the G20 Leaders’ Summit was hosted on African soil, right here in South Africa. The summit, held at the Johannesburg Expo Centre on 22 and 23 November, brought together leaders from the world’s major economies, representing 85% of global GDP and two-thirds of the world’s population. Under the theme ‘Solidarity, Equality and Sustainability’, South Africa’s presidency focused on issues that matter deeply to Africa and the Global South: climate finance, debt relief for developing nations, food security, and inclusive economic growth. Beyond the policy headlines, this was also a showcase of South Africa’s ability to host a world-class event, with over 40 countries and international organisations represented. It’s a moment of pride and a reminder that Africa is stepping up as a key player in global affairs. To give us an on-the-ground perspective of what it was really like at the venue, the energy, the behind-the-scenes moments, we were joined by ECR Newswatch's Nushera Soodyal, who spent the entire weekend reporting from the heart of the G20 Summit.

This is a fun, high-energy challenge where Stacey and J Sbu put their lyrical memory to the test. Each presenter will pick two of their favourite songs. The game will play a snippet of the song up to the hook, then fade out. Stacey and J Sbu tried their best to keep singing confidently from memory. At a random point, the track fades back in to check if they’re still in sync with the original lyrics. The closer they are, the better their bragging rights. If you missed it live, listen in...

KwaZulu-Natal is once again facing the harsh reality of severe weather. Disaster management teams have confirmed that search and rescue operations are still underway in the uMshwathi Local Municipality after Sunday night’s devastating floods.

Stacey and J Sbu spoke to KZN COGTA Spokesperson Senzo Mzila, to give us the latest update on this matter

Stacey Norman spoke about the G20 Women’s Shutdown, a nationwide act of refusal and remembrance led by Women For Change. Why you may ask? Because in South Africa, a woman is murdered every 2.5 hours. That's why today, she gave women across KZN the mic to share that one sentence that says it all. No politics. No speeches. Just voices united in a truth that should never be negotiable: Safety is a right, not a privilege. Here's what you said...

South Africa is in the global spotlight this week as we host the G20 Leaders’ Summit for the very first time on African soil.
