5 Breakfast

James Van Biljoen gives us the monday motivation for February.

This week, as we celebrate World Radio Day, we’re doing something special on 5 Breakfast; we’re handing the mic over to the future.

Introducing Classroom to Country. A nationwide celebration of South Africa’s school radio stations, where young voices step out of the classroom and onto a national stage. Every day this week, a school gets two full minutes of national airtime to do absolutely anything they want. No rules. No limits. Just creativity, confidence, and a live mic.

Xoli chats to Adrian Birrel - Sunrises Eastern Cape Coach about their third SA20 Win.

This morning on 5 Breakfast, we’re joined in studio by one of the producers who helped shape the sound of South African pop and Afro-house over the last decade; Sketchy Bongo. After a five-year hiatus, Sketchy is officially back, kicking off a brand-new chapter with his album One26 On M and the lead single “No Getting Over You”, featuring the ever-smooth Jimmy Nevis.

It’s a comeback rooted in growth, reflection, and still knowing how to make a song that hits you in the feelings and the hips. Sketchy’s hanging out with us for the next two segments; talking music, the break, the return, and we’ve got a game lined up too.

So Florida had a proper cold snap... and suddenly people started seeing
iguanas dropping out of trees like nature’s most confusing plot twist.

Here’s the key detail: when it gets cold enough, green iguanas basically shut down. They’re cold blooded (reptiles), so their bodies run on external heat.
No heat? No movement. They go stiff, lose their grip, and fall. That’s why you’ll see them on lawns, sidewalks, patios looking like they’ve clocked out of life. But many of them can “reboot” once they warm up.

The team battles it out on a game to see who remembers what happened this week.
