Someone landed in Anele's inbox and his name is werner: 

he writes: I am getting married over the long weekend in June. My future father-in-law asked if he could have a surprise solo dance with my future mother-in-law right at the very beginning of the reception — just the two of them redoing their first dance. He wants the DJ to announce it as a special moment and doesn’t want anyone else joining them on the dance floor.

Bedtime is a mix of chaos, cuddles, and consistency (on the good nights!). We try to stick to a routine — bath, pajamas, storytime, and lights out — but let’s be honest, some nights it’s more negotiations and extra water requests than peaceful winding down. Still, we’ve learned that presence matters more than perfection. Those quiet moments — reading the same book for the tenth time or listening to little voices talk about their day — they’re the heart of it all.  How do you do bedtime at your place?

We got a voicenote from Raven: 

“Three years ago my wife gave birth to our child and I didn't stay with her at the hospital. But now like one record player: over and over again she’ll go on about this one and that one’s husband that stayed with them at the hospital. Was I supposed to stay with her at the hospital.”

A couple has gone viral after taking their legal battle online with a Villa they booked. The villa charged them $280 (R5,000+) for “breaking” the existing shower head after they unscrewed it to temporarily use their own filtered shower head. Instead of screwing it back on and charging a smaller fee the Villa is treating the case as a plumbing repair with a high cost. The couple is planning on contacting a lawyer. Is the Villa in the right to do this or they’re abusing the contract?

As we move through life, we want to share things with others, but there are some things we should keep to ourselves. While there will be a few people we can share the important things with, we have to be careful. So the question for Joburg is....What are the things you just CONNOT share?

Imagine this: your parents are divorced, and while you’re trying to maintain a relationship with both of them, one parent — in this case, your mom — constantly talks down about the other. It’s uncomfortable, it’s hurtful, and it puts you in the middle of something you never asked to be in.

So how do you handle it? How do you respectfully tell your parent, “Hey, I love you, but this is not okay”? And most importantly, how do you protect your mental and emotional space without adding fuel to the fire?

We got a voice note from Unathi: 

“Hi guys, so my parents are divorced. But my mom bad mouths my dad so much when I’m around her. How do I tell her to stop?”

We also spoke to Psychologist Megan Tucker had a chat with us about this. If you would like to reach her, here are her details:

There are days when life feels like too much – when the noise of responsibilities, the weight of expectations, and the endless to-do lists pile up until you just need a moment to breathe. Maybe you're a parent who pulls into the driveway and lets the car run for 30 extra minutes, just sitting there in the quiet. Maybe you detour on the way home to a local ice cream shop, not because you need the sugar, but because you need something—a small joy, a break, a reminder that you still exist outside of the roles you play.

Bradley Nkoana's journey to Olympic silver and World U20 bronze is a powerful testament to resilience, determination, and the unwavering support of his family. Here's a deeper look into the challenges he faced and overcame.

Bradley's path to success was marred by significant obstacles. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 disrupted his training, leading to an 18-month hiatus from competitive athletics. 

Beyond physical injuries, Bradley faced profound personal challenges. At the age of 11, he lost his mother to breast cancer. Her passing left a significant void in his life. Before her death, she entrusted Bradley with the responsibility of caring for his younger brother. This promise became a guiding force in his life. Bradley credits his father and grandparents for their unwavering support, helping him navigate the complexities of adolescence and athletics.

🥈 Olympic Glory at 19

In August 2024, at just 19 years old, Bradley achieved one of the pinnacles of his career by winning a silver medal in the 4x100m relay at the Paris Olympics. This accomplishment was especially poignant given his previous injuries and the challenges he had faced. Reflecting on the achievement, Bradley expressed immense pride, stating, "I'm very proud of myself and I want to dedicate this to my mother."
