5 Breakfast

This week on Monday Motivation, Marli sits down with Gabriel Ravenscroft — the
real-life proof that you don't have to choose just one dream. 

Gabriel is a professional ballet dancer and a recent B.Sc graduate in Pure Mathe-
matics and Computer Sciences from UCT. From pirouettes to programming, Gabri-
el's journey is a lyrical reminder that passion doesn’t have to fit in one neat little box.

In this chat, Gabriel shares how he juggled intense rehearsals, demanding studies, and the pressure to be excellent in two wildly different worlds, and spoiler alert: he passed with distinction.

Xoli Zondo, The Money babies and Zwelakhe Mnguni discuss Vat.

Nick Hamman is looking for someone who is listening to the show from outside of South Africa.

From the dust of the township fields to the roar of foreign stadiums, he stood not just as a player but as a pillar. A shield for his squad and a symbol for his people. Who is this quiet warrior who turned tackles into poetry?

South African chart-toppers GoodLuck have teamed up with UK multi-instrumentalist and live-looping sensation Youngr to deliver a fresh, disco-infused, and feel-good reimagining of a classic: ‘Would I Lie to You Baby’. With infectious basslines, and undeniable nu-disco flair, this collaboration breathes new life into the iconic track—primed for both UK & Europe summer festivals and late-night dancefloors.

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

He’s the only figure who could turn a whisper into a wave and a drawl into doctrine. From West Coast tales to global kitchens, he’s proof that reinvention wears locs and lowriders. Who is this cultural chameleon with the smoothest walk in the industry?

PALESA LEMEKA chats to SADTU Media Officer Nomusa Cembi about a recent study which found that half of South Africa’s teachers are considering leaving the profession within the next decade, largely because of overwhelming workloads, excessive administrative tasks, threats of violence from students, and no mental health support.
