5 Breakfast

Thabo chats to Tessa Dooms about President Cyril Ramaphosa’s visit to New York. Particularly focusing on how he presented the GNU to the international community and  fears of potential instability AND his side bar with Elon Musk.

AFTER OUR COFFEE WE HEADED OVER TO JUST CURTAINS FOR A CONVERSATION WITH THE SPORTMAN, BUSINESSMAN, WRITER YUSUF “CHUBBY” GARDA, ANOTHER ONE OF THE OLDEST AND LONGEST STANDING TENANTS AT THE ORIENTAL PLAZA.

ONE CANNOT ROLL INTO POTCHEFSTROOM IN SEPTEMBER AND NOT REALISE THAT THIS SMALL STUDENT TOWN IS ABUZZ WITH SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE STUDENTS WHO ARE ON BREAK. AARDKLOP IS IN TOWN, SO WE NATURALLY HAD TO MAKE A STOP THERE TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THIS 26 YEAR OLD ARTS FESTIVAL.

Andile telling us about how his mom and sister inspired him to cook and how he get into the chef game and the opportunity to study it, how he became Mandela's personal chef and how his cooking is influenced by traditional Xhosa foods and there is a story he shared about going hunting as a kid and cooking the foods they caught.

One of the joys of the 5Breakfast Heritage Tour is that we get to spend so much more time with each other as a team and we’re getting to know and experience so much more of each other. At a recent stop off during the tour we all returned to our Suzuki to find Thabo sitting in the car by himself singing.

Born under the African sun in a land far from Middle-earth, this literary legend spun tales of hobbits and heroes. From Bloemfontein to Oxford, his imagination shaped worlds beyond our own. Can you guess this master of fantasy?"

An afternoon in Howick on Friday where we were honoured to experience an early heritage day celebration comprised of song, dance and poetry.

Since 1970 Porto fish and chips has brought the best Portuguese flavours to
Northern Kwa-Zulu Natal. Francisco Gonsalves Filipe came from Madeira to South Africa in pursuit of a better life for his family, little did he know the legacy of Porto Fish and Chips had just begun. Every bit of that journey brought us Porto peri-peri, this is not just a sauce it is the fruit of hard work and passion coming together.

Buckle up for laughs! Have I Got News For You brings you the week's craziest news story, served with a side of satire. Thabo will scour the headlines to find the most jaw dropping tale and dissect and package it into a laugh-out-loud segment you won't want to miss. Expect clever soundbites, outrageous sound effects, and a whole lot of fun – it's the news like you've never seen (or heard) it before!
