Good Things with Brent Lindeque 📺

This week on Good Things with Brent Lindeque, I get to sit down with Wilson Tauro, the Country Manager for Air France KLM, to talk about something really special.

Wilson isn’t just passionate about flying people across the world, he’s passionate about South Africa itself. In our conversation, he shares his love for this country, his belief in the power of tourism and how travel can be more than just ticking destinations off a list. For him, it’s about connection, community, and leaving something meaningful behind.

That’s why this October, I’ll be joining Wilson, along with a group of incredible South Africans, to help build a school in rural South Africa. It’s a project that proves travel can change more than just the traveller; it can change lives.

This episode is a reminder that tourism can be a force for good, that when we come together with purpose, we can create something bigger than ourselves.

This week on Good Things with Brent Lindeque, we sit down with Grant Fietze, Head of Marketing at Capital Legacy, to talk about their bold and humorous new campaign, Don’t Die in an Awkward Position.

Did you know that 70% of South Africans don’t have a valid will? We explore why so many people avoid this important conversation, the risks of dying without a will, and how Capital Legacy is using humour to spark action and protect families.

From awkward “final moments” to practical advice on estate planning, this episode blends laughter with life-changing information. If you’ve been putting off getting your will sorted, this conversation might be the nudge you need.

What started as a simple weekend clean-up has become one of South Africa’s most inspiring community movements.

In this episode of Good Things with Brent Lindeque, we sit down with Tarryn Johnston – the powerhouse behind Hennops Revival – to talk about how she’s led the charge to clean up the Hennops River, one plastic bag at a time.

From removing over 5 million kilograms of waste to creating thousands of jobs and even turning river rubbish into paint, Tarryn’s story is one of grit, purpose and real hope.

We chat about where it all began, the ripple effects it’s had on her community and the creative innovation that’s helping turn pollution into possibility.

Expect goosebumps, inspiration and a reminder that good things really do grow when we care enough to act.

Two young men from a small village in Limpopo taught themselves to code, built an educational app with just R700 and a second-hand computer… and now they’ve received R1 million in funding and full support from Liberty’s #DriveHope initiative!

This is more than just a story about tech. It’s about resilience, community, kindness and what happens when a country believes in its youth.

He tore his calf 6km into the Comrades Marathon… but still pushed through nearly 90km of pain, grit and heart.

Not for glory. Not for medals. But for something far greater. The kids fighting cancer through CHOC.

In this deeply personal and powerful episode of Good Things with Brent Lindeque, Richard Laskey, the force behind Modern Athlete and one of the iconic Cows, opens up about the race, the reason and the road that got him here.

From battling addiction to losing his wife, Rich has faced unimaginable hardship… but continues to choose purpose, hope and doing good.

This conversation is about more than running. It’s about resilience, humanity and what happens when you keep showing up... even when it hurts.

Two incredible teachers. One unforgettable conversation.

On this week’s episode of Good Things with Brent Lindeque, we sit down with Mrs Bullock and Riaan du Rand... two South African educators who are not only changing lives in the classroom but also lighting up TikTok with their humour, honesty and heart.

You might recognise Mrs Bullock from her viral dance videos that brought joy to millions, and Riaan from his sharp, funny (and sometimes emotional) “Dear Parents” and “Dear Teachers” series (not to mention that iconic “Diddy” moment).

But beyond the likes and shares, they’re using their platforms to open up meaningful conversations about education, mental health, connection and the power of showing up authentically.... both online and off. And of course, there is dancing!

This episode is full of laughs, goosebumps and real moments that will make you fall in love with teachers all over again.
