Breakfast with Martin Bester

As part of the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry 2026 tour, the Vodacom Bulls and the All Blacks went head-to-head on Saturday, 15 August.

Ahead of this highly anticipated match, rugby content creator Jordan Buhrs was so confident that the Pretoria team would win that he had a proposition for the internet.

Buhrs posted a video on social media claiming that he was so confident the Bulls would win that he was willing to do whatever the top comment on his video said.

This is where the All Blacks got involved and dared him to get a tattoo of their logo if they won the game.

“Get our logo tattooed on your arm before the first Test (minimum 5cm),” the New Zealand national team commented.

As expected, this ended up being the top comment, and Buhrs had to stick to his word.

Breakfast with Martin Bester caught up with the social media content creator after he got his tattoo, and Martin Bester challenged him to yet another dare.

Breakfast with Martin Bester spoke to the main voice behind Eggchasers Rugby, a popular digital rugby union community, audio podcast and YouTube channel.

Breyton Paulse, the celebrated Springbok legend, joined Breakfast with Martin Bester to share his excitement and thoughts ahead of the much-anticipated Springboks vs All Blacks Test at Ellis Park on Saturday, 22 August.

This iconic match-up forms part of what is widely regarded as rugby’s greatest rivalry, and Paulse’s insights offered a captivating glimpse into the anticipation surrounding this colossal sporting event.

To mark Mandela Day last month, Good Morning Angels collaborated with former Miss SA Mia le Roux and her AboutSound initiative to raise funds for cochlear implants.

We managed to raise R2,5 million to cover the costs of the implant procedures for 25 state patients on Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital’s cochlear implant list.

Three patients received their implants at the Ear & Eye Clinic in Meyersdal on 23 July, and this past Friday, their devices were switched on. These patients are Abdullah Myles (1 year and 7 months), Amaleko Baloyi (2) and Moloko Mokgawa (9).

This is the start of their journey of audiological and speech therapy at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital’s audiology department, which will enable them to hear and speak!

Road rage is a growing issue on South African roads, with everyone accusing the next person of being a bad driver.

Very often, people in big cars blame people in small cars for being bad drivers, and vice versa.

In this week’s Asking For A Friend, Anonymous feels that people who drive big cars are the worst on the road.

Their question to Breakfast with Martin Bester this week is simple: Why do people in big cars drive so badly?

Listen here to hear what the team and our listeners had to say.

Despite her rise to global stardom, South African singer Tyla has not forgotten her roots.

After accepting her second AfriPure International Achievement Award at the South African Music Awards (SAMAs), the global star treated fans to an official takeover of the famous Gold Reef City.

The ‘Water’ hitmaker took over the theme park to celebrate the release of her ‘A*Pop’ album.

Gold Reef City was turned into an ‘A*Pop’-themed park, with pink merchandise, photo booths and even pink burgers and pizza on the menu.

Of course, Tyla also treated her fans to a live performance.

“I’m so happy that you guys came through. You guys look beautiful. We’re gonna have fun. I want you guys to enjoy, have a good time. It’s crazy. I did not think it would be this crazy,” she said on stage, in awe of the turnout.

Social media was also flooded with videos of the singer enjoying some of the theme park rides at Gold Reef City.
