Carol Ofori

Chaos erupted outside East Coast Radio.

Seconds after the East Coast Radio Fugitive posted a picture of the ECR building on the WhatsApp Channel, listeners came rushing into the parking lot, convinced they were about to catch him.

Carol couldn’t resist joining the hunt herself getting in on the action, chatting to the Fugitive hunters and seeing if she could spot him before anyone else.

She hunted him down… and walked away R10 000 richer.

Slondile Dlamini from Pinetown finally caught up with the East Coast Radio Fugitive at Flight Centre in Cotswold this morning.

She told Carol she’d been hot on his trail, missing him a couple of times along the way , but today, her luck changed.

Her hunt is over, and R10 000 is now hers.

It may have been cold in KZN, but The East Coast Radio Fugitive was bringing the heat.

He had KZN guessing as he made his way through Howick, keeping listeners on their toes and leaving plenty of clues along the way.

And just when you thought the stakes couldn’t get higher… he increased the bounty to R10,000.

So, where was he hiding and could YOU have been the one to catch him?

The East Coast Radio Fugitive made his way to the South side of Durban, Umlazi to be precise.

After increasing the bounty to R33 000, Chris Tomlinson who drove all the way from The Bluff, found him right outside Max's Lifestyle .

Chris Tomlinson is R33 000 richer.

In an interesting turn of events , Carol finally got the chance to call The East Coast Radio Fugitives wife for a much needed conversation.

Take a listen as his wife shared some important information about him.

Before disappearing into his day off, the East Coast Radio Fugitive revealed his ultimate way to unwind: zero company, and a pot of Bombay Duck Curry.

Carol was caught completely off guard because she has never heard of such a curry before , so she turned to the ECR KZN listeners for answers… and, of course, they had plenty to say.

The East Coast Radio Fugitive calls Carol Ofori with a fresh set of clues as the bounty climbs to R9,000. After a morning run, he reveals he’s looking for a “pick-me-up” and confirms there’s a bean involved — but where exactly is he hiding? Carol breaks down the clues and challenges KZN listeners to track him down.

South Africa is once again confronting the devastating reality of violence against women, following the discovery of women’s bodies across Ekurhuleni over the past two months. A high-level police investigation is underway, with a R400,000 reward for information that could lead to arrests.

Do we shield them from frightening news, or have honest, age-appropriate conversations that teach them about safety, empathy and why violence is never acceptable?
