Amidst danger and chaos, a South African's unwavering courage shone through as he risked everything - including his life - to save his cherished four-legged companions.

Kobus Olivier, a former South African Cricketer and a devoted father to four cherished dogs found himself plunged into a nightmarish reality as the spectre of a Russian invasion loomed large. His remarkable journey, beautifully captured in the poignant documentary "War Dogs and I," is not only captivating hearts but also highlighting the extraordinary bond between man and our four-legged companions during times of terror.

Today, in a heart-to-heart conversation that promises to be both inspiring and uplifting, Kobus joins the Good Things Guy podcast.

This meeting of minds underscores the triumph of the human spirit and the incredible bond between a man and his four-legged friends, reminding us all that even in the face of adversity, courage and companionship prevail. War Dogs And I · All about South Africa's Good News Podcast! ❤️🇿🇦

He is a three-time, stage four brain cancer survivor who overcame all the odds of beating cancer whilst at the same time competing in some of the world’s toughest endurance events, including six Ironman triathlons in that time.

It’s a story that rocked the nation.

On the 2nd of May 2018, the Pink Ladies (an organisation for Missing Children in South Africa) issued a kidnapped child alert after it was alleged that a domestic worker took a Baby named Eden, tied on her back with a light blue blanket, for a walk… and did not return to the family home in Brackendowns, Alberton.

The nation watched with heartbreak as the minutes, turned into hours and then turned into days. South Africa had become invested in a story where everyone was waiting for some good news.

And 4 days later that good news came. Baby Eden had been reunited with his family, and his story had restored hope in so many South Africans.

Baby Eden’s mom, Bronwyn Laird joined the Good Things Guy in studio to chat a little bit about their story.

"We’ve seen miracles happen and prayers answered.

We cannot allow what 6 individuals, 5 of whom we have never even met -  what they chose to do - to affect how we see the world, how we evaluate relationships going forward or how we live our lives.

Hate just isn’t in our vocabulary. Hate changes nothing but love changes everything. Love wins."

Their story is tragic, and what happened to them is harrowing but it is their story going forward that is so incredibly inspiring.

South Africa's facing a tough time when it comes to charity… we've almost become numb to the reality of what our country has to deal with every single day, but it is still our reality.

If we want better neighbourhoods, we need to be better neighbours. Kelly McGillivray has been working hard to get Tyrone Shabalala, a future rugby legend from Fourways High, to a rugby tour in the UK that could kick off his entire career… but has realised that it’s tougher to raise money than we think.

Kelly and Tyrone join the Good Things Guy to chat about the rugby tour, and the state of giving in SA! All about South Africa's Good News Podcast! ❤️🇿🇦

This week on the Good Things Guy podcast, Brent Lindeque chats with a lawyer who majors in the South African Constitution.

The biggest thing Brent has learnt about the current “Land expropriation without compensation” debate is that many South Africans have NO IDEA how our Constitution works, or what our Constitution is actually about. So join him as he asks the questions that we need answers to and tries to unpack the current uncertainty in SA.

There are so many myths and opinions that are somehow becoming facts. Can someone knock on your door and take your land? Would you still have to pay for your bond if your land gets taken? Can you expropriate your land back if someone "expropriates" it from you? Is there a "list" of farms that are being targeted? Is your land actually up for grabs or is it just all fear-mongering for electioneering purposes?

So join him as he asks the questions that we need answers to and tries to unpack the current uncertainty in South Africa. All about South Africa's Good News Podcast! ❤️🇿🇦

Listen as the Good Things Guy delves into who the "real" bad guys are, how Mandy Wiener deals with intimidation when speaking to thugs, gangsters and corrupt officials and how the average South African can help fight corruption and state capture.

This is us finding the good things in her new book "Ministry Of Crime" and also speaking about writing a book (and what it takes).

*This is an archived podcast from 2018 that we have reshared in case you haven't heard it yet (and also because I am busy writing my own book). This may have been where the seed was planted for me.

In 2013, she was hosting a birthday lunch for her husband, the insurance entrepreneur Douw Steyn, and one of the guests was Zelda La Grange, former PA to Nelson Mandela.

From a casual chat on that day, came the inspiration for an idea that's since turned into a global phenomenon of goodwill and positive change: 67 Blankets for Mandela Day.

Carolyn Steyn, an accomplished actress, businesswoman and founder of 67 Blankets for Mandela Day joins Brent in studio to chat about her incredible journey. Carolyn Steyn, A Famous South African With A Gold-Filled Heart! · All about South Africa's Good News Podcast! ❤️🇿🇦
