A few years ago a hilarious video a mom took of her daughter learning to ride a bicycle went viral, as the young Marelize Horn smashed right into a rugby pole. The words “my f*k, Marelize” quickly became synonymous with the viral video. But Marelize has the last laugh, as now a few years later, this funny viral video has led to a proudly South African film, “My f*k, Marelize” being released, focussing on Marelize’s life story. Marli from 5Breakfast revisited this viral moment and chatted to Marelize about her thoughts on the upcoming film and how she feels about her life being the inspiration for a story that will be featured on the big screen.

Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber just called it the “biggest change ever” for his department, and for once, he might not be overselling it. The old Online Verification System (OVS), the tech that checks your details against the National Population Register, was a glitchy nightmare, failing half the time and sometimes taking a full day to reply with... the wrong info. The new system? A 99% success rate, lightning-fast responses, and a green light for rolling out smart ID and passport services to way more bank branches.
