5 Drive

Lace up your sneakers and get those running playlists ready, we're gearing up for the epic Balwin Run Series

There’s so much to love about Mzansi, and we’re adding even more to the list.

Everyone claims to be a pro at something, but where do we actually rank at the absolute top of the game?

We chat with the incredible Leon Bridges about his music, creativity, everything that inspires his signature sound and of course his up coming tour in SA. 

In this game, contestants are given a letter and have 30 seconds to name an actor, a flavour, a job, a movie title, a country, a noun, and something found in nature, all starting with that letter. The contestant who shouts the most correct answers within the time limit wins, making for a fast-paced and fun test of quick thinking and creativity.

Ever wonder what makes a simple run feel like an extreme sport? Nick is putting his endurance and his patience to the test, and the 5 Drive team is breaking down all the wild challenges he encounters along the way.

We unpack how influencers should be held accountable, the responsibility that comes with having a large platform, and whether influence should come with greater scrutiny. We explore the impact influencers can have on audiences, brands and society, and ask what a fair approach to dealing with online personalities should look like.

We know how fiercely we rally behind our favourite sports teams — but what would happen if we brought that same energy to supporting women?

In this conversation, we look at what it really means to support, respect and stand up for women, and why meaningful change requires more than just words.

South Africa is facing a deeply concerning situation when it comes to violence against women and the broader crisis affecting communities across the country. But what role can men play in creating meaningful change?

In this conversation, we look at the responsibility men have to challenge harmful attitudes, speak up, support women, and help build safer communities.

The final race is on! 

With the Balwin Sports Marathon fast approaching, the pressure is building as the runners prepare for the big day. We take a look at the final preparations, the excitement surrounding the event, and what it takes to make it to the starting line ready to go.
