Nick Hamman wants to hear stories from people that gave up on their dream.

The 5 Breakfast team battle it out in a quiz to see who remembers what happened this week.

So, what’s the vibe with this year’s budget? Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana just dropped Budget 3.0, yep, third time’s the charm, and it’s all about calming the political chaos without messing up the country’s wallet too badly.

This week, Thabo Baloyi chats to the Gauteng Education Department about bullying in the classroom. Seven Johannesburg high school girls were suspended after being seen on video assaulting a fellow learner.

Nick Hamman is looking for someone who has/is in a gang.

Macassar is a town located in the Western Cape province of South Africa, near the city of Cape Town. It's part of the City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality and sits close to the coastal stretch along False Bay, near Strand and Somerset West.

Here are a few things to know about Macassar:
Geography:
+ It lies southeast of Cape Town, along the N2 highway.
+ It’s considered a peri-urban area, meaning it’s on the edge of the urban
sprawl.
+ It borders parts of the Helderberg region and is not far from wine routes and
coastal zones.
Community:
+ Macassar is a residential area with a diverse and close-knit community.
+ It’s historically rooted in the coloured community and has a strong cultural
identity.
+ Like many areas in South Africa, it faces challenges such as unemployment,
housing shortages, and service delivery issues, but it's also full of resilience
and local activism.
Fun Fact:
+ The name "Macassar" has roots in the Indonesian city Makassar (also spelled
Macassar), tied to the history of Sheikh Yusuf, an exiled Indonesian Islamic
leader who settled near the Cape in the 1600s and is buried in the area. His
kramat (tomb) is a site of spiritual significance and pilgrimage.

Explainer: Inside the Ramaphosa-Trump Oval Office Showdown — And Why It
Matters.

He’s somewhere between a parody and a prophet. He’s dropped verses about taxis, takeaways, and territorial pride, and somehow, it slaps every time. Guess the rapper with more slang than a WhatsApp group in Bellville.
(Hints: hyper-local references, comedic-yet-clever lyrics, Western Cape roots)

This week on Slegs Afrikaans, we’re flipping the script, literally. Marli van Eeden sits down with award-winning poet and musician PIETER MADIBUSENG ODENDAAL to talk about his genre-bending debut album Ontaard, the evolving identity of Afrikaans, and why this language is very much alive, African, and in motion. From dubstep to uhadi, poetry to politics, this is not your ouma’s Afrikaans.

Team chat about Nick and Marli’s radio origins story after they recent participated in the celebration of the Campus Radio Station, MFM, where they both got their first taste of making radio, while attended Stellenbosch University.
