Would it be wrong for refusing a cash deal after a rear-end and going straight to insurance?
23/09/2025 Duration: 18minSo, here’s the scenario: our producer Ryan’s wife was involved in a fender bender during the morning school drop-off. Another driver rear-ended her car. Right there at the scene, he begged her not to call the police and promised to settle it with cash. Sounds simple enough – until Ryan called his panel beater friend who informed him that you only have 24 hours to report the accident to the police otherwise insurance won't pay out – and the other driver can basically refuse to pay. Now here’s the debate: was she right to reject the “under-the-table” cash deal and go by the book, or is she the bad guy for not giving the driver a chance to honour his word? we chat with CEO at Discovery Insure Robert Attwell for some insight Hang out with Anele and The Club on 947 every weekday morning.

Helen Zille’s Joburg Comeback: Renewal, Hope, and Hard Questions.
22/09/2025 Duration: 21minThe DA has officially named Helen Zille as their 2026 Johannesburg Mayoral candidate. Born in Hillbrow, Zille says she’s coming home to fix a city in crisis — from broken roads and failing water to rubbish piling up. Her campaign is all about restoring services, fighting corruption, and bringing accountability back to Joburg. But critics argue she’s out of touch and question whether a leader from Cape Town can really connect with Johannesburg’s challenges. It’s shaping up to be one of the most heated local races yet — with Zille promising renewal, and rivals warning she’s the wrong fit. Hang out with Anele and The Club on 947 every weekday morning.

Denzel Washington says we are saying his name wrong: How do people mispronounce your name?
15/09/2025 Duration: 13minDenzel Washington has revealed that his name has been widely mispronounced throughout his four-decade career. During a September 3 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, he clarified that the emphasis should be on the first syllable “DEN-zel” rather than what many believe. He explained that this mispronunciation became standard because his mom, Lennis Washington, needed a way to distinguish him from his father (who has the same name). She began saying “Den-zel” to differentiate, and it stuck. Hang out with Anele and The Club on 947 every weekday morning.

What’s nicknames do you / your friends have for different cars?
04/09/2025 Duration: 11minYou know how in South Africa we love giving people nicknames? Well, we do the same thing with cars. Anele says they call the Ford Everest – “Evereeezy” because, well, it just rolls off the tongue. The Renault Kwid has become the “Kwid-ashian” – flashy name for a car that’s trying to live large. Then there’s the sound effect one: “Vrrrrpa”, because some cars don’t even need a name, just the rev. And the Mercedes ML320? People call it the “Tony Yengeni.

Where have you gone for the main thing, only for the upsell to become the real main thing?
03/09/2025 Duration: 13minEver gone somewhere for one main thing, but somehow the upsell ends up being the main thing? Cindy put it perfectly: “You know what’s a scam? I went to the hairdresser, and she asked if she could add 10% tip.” You come for a haircut, but suddenly the conversation is about treatments, products, and now even tipping systems. Same thing happens at restaurants, car washes, even tech stores – you walk in for the basic service and leave wondering how you spent double.

What have you always wanted to have, but physically - it just doesn’t work?
03/09/2025 Duration: 14minThere are some things you’ve always wanted to have or buy – but it just was never meant for us... Maybe your body does not work with skinny jeans? Maybe your foot isn’t the right shape to wear sandals? Maybe hats don’t fit...

If your hometown had a slogan, what would it be?
02/09/2025 Duration: 10minEvery suburb in Joburg has its own personality. You don’t need a map – the traffic, the people, even the shopping centres tell you exactly where you are. Imagine if our suburbs had to sell themselves with a slogan. Fourways would be easy: “Fourways in, one way out.” It’s basically the story of sitting in traffic before you even hit Winnie Mandela. Bryanston could lean into its polished reputation – “Where the Wi-Fi is faster than the traffic.” And Sandton? It’s already branded itself as “The driest square mile in Africa.

Chatting child safety and things to be on the lookout for, WhatsApp yes, but what else? Where are our kids exposed?
02/09/2025 Duration: 25minWhen it comes to kids and phones, WhatsApp is just the start.
