East Coast Breakfast

David Scott, popularly known as The Kiffness, joined us to talk about his success with his song with Bilal Goregen (an obscure Finnish folk song originally performed by Turk Bilal Goregen) going viral with 17+ million views on YouTube. We had a chat about his career making parodies, COVID-19's effects on the music industry and why this specific song was so widely and warmly received.

This is the year that everyone on the East Coast Breakfast team will grace the cover of a mogazine. No, that's not manifesting. It is a challenge they all have to complete. Darren completed the challenge first, Keri followed.

This is how the reveal went down.

Bingo Ball always brings up the most challenging of tasks and Keri gets to receive the most exciting ones. In this one, she had to try be a flight attendant as he stood on a chair with a vibrating standing board and apply make-up perfectly.

Darren and Sky did not make the task any easier with their requests while she was up there.

KZN-born star, Thuso Mbedu, has been an acclaimed actress in South Africa after starring in local dramas and telenovelas like, 'Scandal', 'isThunzi', 'Shuga', and 'Saints & Sinners', among others. Her international debut was just a few weeks ago when Barry Jenkins' series, 'The Underground Railroad', premiered. Sky gives her his stamp of approval.

Keri Miller loves exotic places. Actually, Keri knows all the great places in KZN. If you disagree, you don't know her well enough. Anyway, Keri's giving her #DKSApproved stamp of approval to Mantis and Moon in Port Shepstone, KZN.

Jemimah Elise Sampson is our #KZNLastKidStanding winner. After five weeks of early morning spelling, we have finally found her! She gets a #DKSApproved stamp from Darren

Good Mauling! Another great morning with the exciting trio Darren, Keri and Sky as they share the empty feeling post Last Kid Standing. Following the Department of Basic Education's announcement of cancelling contact sports, we can only wonder if certain sports like tennis and chess can still take place.

Five years ago, Shan was bitten by a mongoose at a friend’s house. Post the bite, a day later, she began to feel sick. It was then when she had to be rushed to ICU and has since had to undergo multiple surgeries including amputation of her legs and arms and surgery on her nose and lips. The life-threatening condition she that had taken over her life was sepsis.

She shares her journey now after more than 30 surgeries and counting. With the debut of The Shan Show, a new show she hosts on YouTube, she hopes to raise funds to get her leg surgery.

After the amputation of her legs and hands following a mongoose bite, Shan has had to raise her own funds for her leg surgery. Having medical aid has been known to be the most convenient resource for healthcare but Shan has unfortunately not been able to use it as it was declined with reasoning that there is uncertainty around the success of the surgery.

Take a listen at how she has decided to forge forward regardless.

On Keri's Couch today we have Shaninlea Visser. Five years ago, Shan was bitten by a mongoose at a friend’s house. Post the bite, a day later, she began to feel sick. It was then when she had to be rushed to ICU and has since had to undergo multiple surgeries including amputation of her legs and arms and surgery on her nose and lips. The life-threatening condition she that had taken over her life was sepsis.

She takes a seat on Keri' Couch as they catch up on how life has been since they last spoke.

After Gauteng was announced to be in the third wave, the question of whether or not the COVID-19 third wave would reach any other provinces is on everyone’s mind. Virologist, virus hunter and bioinformatician Prof Tulio de Oliviera, from KRISP at University of KZN, speaks to us this week on COVID-19 related topics and answers your pressing COVID-19 questions.

In today's Bingo Ball one of Darren's questions asked what is the most dangerous thing in his house. Keri and Sky were shocked by his revelation.

Could it be that Darren Maule is KZN's James Bond?

Take a listen.
