Anele and the Club on 947

Let’s be honest — most of us grew up with curfews that made no sense. You’re 23, living at home, and still getting side-eyed for walking in at 10:01 PM. But sometimes... just sometimes... a special occasion earns you a little extra leeway. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’re cooking up something special! Inspired by our girl Yaya — the nanny who turned her family rusk recipe into a booming business — So we want to know: What’s the one family recipe that everyone begs you to make? You know, that dish that never sees leftovers? Ouma's famous koeksisters, or Sis Nomsa's magwinya! Call us and tell us about it! We’ll pick our fave and invite you to bring it to the studio next week. Then comes the real test: The Taste Test. If it slaps? We’ll tell you straight up — this could be a business. If it flops? Well... at least we got breakfast So polish that pot, perfect that pap, and tell gogo to wish you luck - Your family recipe could be your claim to fame!

Look, we all like to think we’re deep, evolved, and spiritually mature beings who value personality over everything. But let’s be honest… we all have that one thing. That one shallow, petty, completely superficial line we just won’t cross. For some, it's a lack of education or bad shoes. For others, it’s that weird way someone chews. Maybe it’s the dreaded "lives with their mom at 35" or the "uses LOL after every sentence" situation. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Producer Ryan did a good deed - he drove his wife to work in her car. Sweet, right? Until the fine arrived. Now the real question is: who pays? Is love about sharing… or settling traffic fines? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From deep life advice at age 7 to cleaning the whole house without being asked — kids have a wild way of surprising us. This week, we’re talking about the moments your child’s maturity stopped you in your tracks and made you think, “Wow... who raised you? Oh right, I did.” Prepare to be proud, amused, and maybe even a little teary. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yaya (Nelia Ngulube) has been a nanny for 16 years, working for four families and caring for a total of nine children. She has two children of her own and lives in Craighall Park, Johannesburg. She learned to make rusks from the grandmother of one of the families she worked for, later adapting the original recipe into her own. In April 2025, she launched her rusk business with the support and social media strategy of her current employer, where she looks after twin boys. The business has since grown rapidly, with weekly sell-outs and a loyal customer base. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We all have that place – the hometown, the family gathering, or even a favorite hangout — that feels more like a drama hotspot than a vacation spot. Too many relatives, too many questions, and way too much tension. So, where do you avoid going because the family drama is just too much? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You’re flying through the air at Gold Reef City then next thing your wig soaring into the sunset… or your front teeth rattling down the track? So, would you rather lose your wig or your teeth mid-ride? One’s embarrassing, the other’s expensive, pick one! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When one of our listeners wrote a song for his half-deaf girlfriend, Ntombi, our hearts exploded. So we asked Joburg: Have you ever written a song for someone you love? What we got back was raw, romantic, sometimes hilarious, and deeply human. From breakup ballads to secret serenades, this episode is all about the music we make when words just aren't enough. Get ready for goosebumps, giggles, and maybe even a tear or two. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From the Varsity of Zululand to Vega, Ndabe Zondi’s journey has been anything but ordinary. He’s come heartbreakingly close to the top — not once, but twice. First, he placed second in the ECR Presenter Search, narrowly missing the mic. Then again, as the MTN Superfan, where he almost scored the ultimate dream: traveling with the Boks to Japan. Again, second place. But here’s the plot twist: finishing second never meant falling short. It meant sharpening his voice, growing his hustle, and waiting for the right mic — and now, he’s got it. Joburg, meet your newest 947 presenter: sharp, seasoned, and hungry. And if you're wondering who's sweating the most right now… just ask Msizi James. Another Durban boy? The competition just got real. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

we hear from an anonymous listener who left us a voice note with a tough question: “I took back my cheating ex. My family still hates him. I’ve got a birthday party coming up… and I’m thinking of not inviting him. Should I?” It’s the kind of dilemma that cuts deep—when your heart says one thing, and your family says another. We talk about love, forgiveness, family boundaries, and whether your birthday is a day for peace… or picking a side. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You’ve got one. I’ve got one. That mysterious kitchen junk drawer full of... who-knows-what. Birthday candles take the #1 spot—because heaven forbid we buy new ones—and rubber bands are a close #2 (wrapped around nothing, just vibes). But what’s the third most hoarded item in the nation’s junk drawers? Today, we dig into the oddly intimate psychology of the junk drawer, why we keep what we keep, and reveal the surprising third-place contender. Spoiler: it’s something you’ve definitely got right now—and probably haven’t used in years. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So, you sent a Save the Date... and now you want to uninvite them? Oof. That’s not just bold - that’s a social plot twist! Sure, it’s technically not a contract. But let’s be honest: once that card hits their fridge, it’s real. You told them, “You’re in.” Now you’re pulling a disappearing act? Yikes. Look, we get it. Life changes. Budgets shrink. People show their true colors. But if you’re thinking about snatching that invite back—just know: it’s messy, it’s awkward, and yeah, it might spark drama. If you have to do it? Be grown. Pick up the phone. Say what’s up. Don’t ghost. Don’t sugarcoat. Do. It. Right. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Johannesburg tenant spent nearly R1 million renovating a rental property, based on a verbal agreement that he would eventually buy the house. He later submitted a formal offer to purchase, but it was rejected by the landlord. Despite extensive upgrades - including plumbing, waterproofing, and a new kitchen - the landlord sold the property for R3 million after evicting the tenant over R896 000 in rent arrears. The tenant sued for over R900 000, claiming unjust enrichment, but the court found no binding agreement and upheld the lease terms. The High Court ruled in the landlord’s favor and ordered the tenant to pay rent arrears and legal costs. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s almost holiday time! School is winding down, and the excitement is heating up! But before we head off to chill, travel, eat, or just sleep in—we’re taking a moment to look back… We all have those little moments that make the holidays special….

The competition isn’t just on the scoreboard — it’s who has the fanciest pop-up tent, the flashiest team merch, and the most unnecessarily lifted SUV. Forget the coach’s pep talk; these parents are here to flex. And somewhere beneath all that gloss and gear… a game of soccer is still trying to happen. In the age of performative parenting, sports fields have become the new catwalk. But hey — if the kids are learning teamwork, maybe the parents should too. The headmaster at Hilton college George Harris spoke on exactly this when issued a plea to parents. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
