What's next for Bafana Bafana?

Once a week, Stacey and J Sbu allow the kiddos of KZN to share their unfiltered ideas on air. This week, the duo asked the kids: "What’s something grown-ups always say that doesn’t make sense to you?" Jordan spoke about his parents asking him to pull up his socks when he's not even wearing socks! Here;s what your little ones had to say...

From skin to size to shape, there’s always that one thing we’ve wished we could change or hide. So what happens when you finally decide to stop apologising for your body and start embracing it? Stacey and J Sbu asked you, the people of KZN, to weigh in on your turning point, that moment when you began living freely in your own skin. Research shows that true self-acceptance often grows through support, not pressure. What helped you get there? Was it a kind word, a life event or finally seeing your worth? Here's what you had to say.

South Africa has dropped 50 places on the Global Safety Index, now ranking below Kyrgyzstan and Ecuador. With over 5,700 murders and more than a million homes broken into between January and March 2025, Stacey and J Sbu wanted to know: who’s really to blame? In this week’s Great Drive Debate, they asked you, the people of KZN, whether South Africa’s shocking crime rate stems from bad policing or from a deeper societal breakdown. Are our law enforcement agencies failing us, or have communities themselves lost their moral compass? Here's what you had to say.

With the onset of the school holidays, J Sbu has been going through a tough time with his little one. It's not anything dramatic, the kid is just bored! While J Sbu struggles with the daily "Dad, I'm bored. Dad, I'm hungry", he decided to ask you, the people of KZN, what your solutions are. One caller suggested ensuring your child plays the ENTIRE day and has a warm bath to ensure they have a good night's rest. Here's what you had to say...

Durban student Keyuren Maharaj, 23, has created CityMenderSA – South Africa’s first free, comprehensive service delivery reporting app. Frustrated by recurring infrastructure issues and a lack of accountability, Keyuren designed a platform where citizens can log, track, and publicly view issues like potholes, leaks, and outages. Each report generates a reference number and is mapped for public transparency, ensuring municipalities can no longer ignore complaints. Currently studying Mechanical Engineering at UKZN, Keyuren combined his technical and leadership skills to build a tool that promotes accountability, encourages civic participation, and has the potential to transform service delivery across KwaZulu-Natal and beyond.

South Africa’s Constitutional Court has rewritten the rules of parenthood at work. In a landmark ruling, the court declared sections of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act and UIF Act unconstitutional, opening the door for equal parental leave regardless of gender, adoption, or surrogacy. This changes not only the world of work, but also the very fabric of family life in South Africa. To unpack what this means for parents, employers, and the future, we’re joined by Legal Expert Hope Mboweni of Shepstone and Wylie.

It's time for a whirlwind ride through the world of South African sport with Nick Tatham’s latest update! Kicking things off, Nick and the team celebrate the Springboks’ nail-biting 29-27 victory over Argentina at Twickenham, clinching the rugby championship with a points difference that left New Zealand in the dust. The excitement is palpable - think World Cup vibes, confetti and a chorus of “well dones” echoing across the nation. However, the drama doesn’t stop there! Nick dives into the tangled web of Bafana Bafana’s World Cup qualifying campaign, where a three-point deduction and a forfeited match have left fans clutching their calculators and biting their nails. With the team now neck-and-neck with Benin, every goal counts, and Friday’s clash against Zimbabwe at Moses Mabhida Stadium is set to be a do-or-die affair. Nick’s playful banter and cheeky optimism shine through, urging Zimbabwe to “let us win this one, please!” and rallying the nation behind Bafana Bafana.
