A men only show at the Baxter Theatre? What next? That should ruffle some feathers. Actor and comedian, David Muller, has a light-bulb moment at the Baxter Theatre and we find out more on this episode.

Then a decision is made about whether Fish Hoek should be wet or dry. The ladies chat about the pros and cons and some of the reactions from the community. Does it matter? Will it affect us in Muizenberg? These questions are debated.

We also hear about a successful year and the results of a homeless/street people initiative.

Then finally some news about a film festival where people from the south can be part of a filmmaking project and learn the skills of creating short films with video. All this and more on our latest episode.

In this show we talk about the problem of homelessness on our streets in the south. Three guests on the show are Johan Lotter, Chevone Peterson and Tasneem Fielies. Tas gives a unique perspective on street people as up to a year ago she was homeless living on the streets.
Homelessness is a major problem on our streets and Tas reveals that the kindness and goodwill of people empowers homeless people which keeps them on the streets and doesn't solve the issues. We dig deep into this issue and try to come up with solutions that will be sustainable and have a long term effect.

In this episode of the Hello Muizenberg Podcast we chat to two crazy ladies who are long time residents of Muizenberg.

Privilege protects and insulates people from each other and the simple lessons we learn growing up, like pocket money, are not universal. In this episode we hear about the amazing steps being made by a lady towards releasing the potential in young entrepreneurs as they make their own pocket money.

When the problem of poison plastics in our vlei becomes so large that the authorities lose control is when private citizens take action. Jenine Versveld took action and financed cleaners to remove micro plastics and other plastic pollution during the low vlei levels. It only scratches the surface but is a beginning that is inspiring others to do the same.

We also hear about the Comrades Marathon journey of a woman determined to raise money in order to teach vegetable gardening to vulnerable people. Combining this with recycled plastics she creates a double success by solving one problem with another.

John Maytham of Cape Talk 567 chats with Wayne about Hello Muizenberg podcast, how it started and some of the background to a community styled podcast.

Ashtan Davids is a 21 year old born and bred Muizenberg surfing resident with a diffability, as he calls it. He has refused the label of disability and prefers his own word of diffability or a different ability. Born with cerebral palsy and the use of only one hand he has single-handedly (pardon the pun) broken through barriers and smashed moulds despite major physical challenges. His idea of normal is reaching his full potential within the parameters of his spectrum of abilities. Some would say that it's all semantics but hearing his story redefines what society calls disability.

His sister chats with us about Ashton because of his speech challenges and gives a heartwarming perspective of Muizenberg's mobile maverick. Get ready to be challenged and, like me, perhaps a little embarrassed.
