Ndumi has come to us for a little advice, and I think we need to bring you into this conversation. What would you tell Ndumi? Maybe you’ve been in a similar situation, or you’ve had to help someone through it. 

Do you celebrate Halloween, and did you grow up celebrating it, or have you only started
recently? And when people say we’re copying American culture, do they have a point — or are they being party poopers?

Thakzin’s new track “Maphorisa” features Moonchild Sanelly, Citizen Deep, Atmos Blaq, Mpho.Wav and more. It’s the first taste of his upcoming project COMMON GROUND, expected on 13 November. Plus, John Legend has released Muse, a 16-track album produced and co-written by Pharrell Williams, marking the pair’s first full album collaboration after more than 20 years of knowing each other.

Imagine switching on your TV and hearing that Leanne Manas is leaving Morning Live! Rumours began circulating after a fake TikTok account impersonating the presenter claimed she had been forced to resign. Leanne set the record straight, confirming that she had not resigned and was simply enjoying a week off. The twist? She says she doesn't even have TikTok.

It’s time for 5FM’s Born To Play! You registered on the 5FM app or website, and now one of you gets a turn to find out what’s inside our present.

Let’s see who’s playing with us!

As 5FM celebrates its birthday, Yonaka’s music knowledge is put to the test. Five songs have been altered in different ways, from being sped up and reversed to having their sounds jumbled around. Can she guess each song and artist from the first version, or will she need the easier clue before the original is revealed?

Do you have a lucky number, lucky item or a ritual you swear by whenever you enter a competition or need a little extra luck? And has it ever actually worked for you?

We all know someone who has a lucky number, a lucky outfit or a little ritual they swear brings them good fortune. Maybe you always choose your birthday when entering the lottery, wear the same jersey whenever your favourite team plays, or believe that certain dates are luckier than others.For years, people have associated certain numbers and objects with good luck. The number 7 is considered lucky in many cultures, while the number 13 is associated with bad luck in some Western traditions.

Even in South Africa, we have our own beliefs and superstitions that get passed down through families.But what's interesting is that even though we live in a world where we understand probability and know that winning a competition is largely down to chance, many of us still hold on to these beliefs. Some people won't enter a competition without using their lucky number, while others have a particular routine they follow whenever they need things to go their way.And with 5FM celebrating its birthday and today being the final day of our Born To Play giveaway, it got us wondering whether people still believe in luck or whether we've become more practical about these things.
