Your Big Walk playlist that means something

Every Thursday, we detail some of the wildest confessions from the streets of Mzansi. We get YOU to weigh in on your unfiltered thoughts. This week, the confession went a little like this: "I just started a new job, and the owner has already made a few inappropriate comments that made me really uncomfortable. The kind that sticks with you and makes you question everything. Now I'm stuck, do I speak up and risk losing my job, or keep quiet and start looking for something else? It doesn't feel right either way." Here's what you had to say...

Have you ever stopped to think about what your boss is actually juggling behind the scenes? We'd like to open up a conversation about what subordinates often don’t understand about being in leadership. It’s not just about giving orders or making decisions, leaders carry a weight of responsibility that can be invisible to the team. From managing competing priorities, pressure from above, and keeping morale up, to making choices that won’t always be popular, the challenges are real, constant, and often underappreciated. Stacey and J Sbu asked you: What do subordinates not understand about being in leadership? Here's what you had to say...

We know parenting isn’t just about the big, Instagram-worthy milestones, it’s the small, often unseen moments that really stay with you. That time your child said “thank you” without being asked, opened up about something they were struggling with, showed kindness when no one was watching… those are the moments where you quietly think, okay… I’m doing something right. Truth is that in between the chaos, the doubt, and the constant figuring-it-out, those small wins hit differently, they remind you why you keep showing up every day. Stacey and J Sbu asked you: What’s one small parenting win that meant everything to you? Here's what you had to say.

This week on The Great Drive Debate, we’re asking a question that’s honest, uncomfortable, and very real for a lot of people: If you did not have kids… would you and your partner still be together? If you missed it live, listen in...

As we build up to the Suncoast East Coast Radio Big Walk, we’re creating more than just a moment on the Durban Promenade, we’re creating a shared soundtrack to it. I think we can all agree that music has a way of carrying us through, whether it’s that final stretch of a walk, a tough workout or even a challenging season in life. There’s always that one song that pushes you a little further, lifts your mood, or reminds you why you started. Often, it’s not just about the beat, it’s about the story behind it. Maybe it got you through a difficult time, reminds you of someone special, or marks a moment where everything changed for you. Here's what you had to say...

For the Kiddies Hotline this week, we’re tying it into the spirit of the Suncoast East Coast Radio Big Walk. We want to know… who are you walking with and who are you definitely not walking with? Are you teaming up with your bestie, your mom, your dad, maybe even your whole squad from school? Or is there that one person who walks too slow, complains the whole way, or eats all the snacks before you even get halfway? This is your chance to shout out your walking crew… and maybe playfully call out the one person you’re leaving behind. Here's what your little ones had to say...

There’s something powerful about this year’s theme for the Suncoast East Coast Radio Big Walk, Walking In Your Shoes, because it’s not just about the physical act of walking; it’s about perspective. It’s about pausing for a moment and asking yourself: whose life would I better understand if I walked in their shoes? Maybe it’s your parents, carrying responsibilities you only now begin to understand. Maybe it’s your partner, your friend, your colleague… someone whose daily battles you don’t always see. Or maybe it’s someone completely different from you, someone from another community, another background, another reality. Which brings us to today's question to you, whose shoes are you walking in right now… and how has it changed you? Because sometimes life puts you in a position where you have to understand someone else. Walking in someone else’s shoes isn’t always easy but it’s where empathy is built. It’s where patience comes from. It’s where real connection happens. Stacey and J Sbu asked you: Whose shoes are you walking in, and how has it changed you? Here's what you had to say...

A father who vanished for years has suddenly slid back into his child's DMs and no, it was not to apologise, not to reconnect, but to ask for money. This week's confessor had to take their own dad to court just to get help with varsity fees and even then he pitched up four months late with a mere R800. Now this Civil Engineer father is apparently in a "tight spot" and needs a favour. Stacey and J Sbu asked you if this confessor should ignore him completely or send him exactly R800 and call it even? Here's what you had to say...

if you needed a reminder that the future of South African cricket is looking incredibly bright, this next story will do exactly that. At just 14 years old, a Durban Girls’ College learner is already making serious waves on the cricket field. Ziya Mohanlall, who’s only in Grade 9, has been selected to represent the South Africa U19 Women’s team at the Nigeria Cricket Federation’s International T20 Tournament taking place in Lagos from the 18th to the 29th of March Ziya spoke to Sports Lead Nick Tatham ahead of the T20 Tournament. If you missed it live, listen in!

Every Wednesday, Aunty Stacey and Uncle J Sbu open the phone lines of the kids of KZN to take over. This week, we spoke about the person you look up to. someone who makes them feel safe, inspired, or brave enough to dream a little bigger. It could be a parent who works hard every day, a teacher who always believes in them, a sibling who stands up for them, or even a superhero they admire on TV. We asked your little ones: Who’s your hero and why?
