5 Mid Mornings

We’ve officially stepped into November, but before we move on, we need to give October its moment! It was 5FM’s birthday month, and between the giveaways, the guests, the honest conversations and organising a party while we were live on air, we kept ourselves busy!

You’ve watched the scary movies… but can you name them from the sound alone? It’s Name That Nightmare on 5 Mid Mornings with Karabo! You’ll face another listener over three horror-movie clips. Know the answer? Shout your name and name the movie! Get the most right, and the prize is yours.
Ready to put your horror knowledge to the test? 

Name That Nightmare. Hear it, name it, and win!

For Wellness Wednesday, Yonaka is exploring music therapy! We know a song can change the mood of your morning, bring back a memory or help you express something you can’t quite put into
words. But what happens when music becomes part of a therapy session?

Yesterday, Ndumi sent 5 Mid Mornings a voice note asking for advice about a situation she’s navigating. You shared your thoughts, and today we’re bringing a professional perspective into the conversation. Shirley Mashigo, a qualified counsellor, to help unpack the situation and offer guidance for Ndumi and anyone going through something similar.

When did choosing someone a gift become sending them money or asking for a wish list? Cash and vouchers take away the guesswork, but do they also take away the surprise and personal touch? Would you rather receive a surprise gift or exactly what you asked for?

Would you rather receive a gift or money on a special occasion? And when someone sends money, does it feel thoughtful or like they skipped the effort?

We talk a lot about empowering young women, but what does it take to turn someone’s potential into an actual opportunity? The EmpowaHer Leadership Summit is bringing together 200 emerging women leaders, aged 18 to 35, from South Africa and across the continent. Taking place in Johannesburg from 29 to 31 October under the theme “The Future Is Female”, it focuses on developing women through mentorship, education, career opportunities, entrepreneurship and professional networks.

Joining Karabo in studio is Londiwe Mncube, Chief Human Resources Officer at the Competition Commission of South Africa, and Chiazalam Thandiwe Ehirim, a Biomedical Science student at the University of Johannesburg and an EmpowaHer nominee.
