  • World Mental Health Day: Suicide’s Ripple Effect
    Today is World Mental Health Day and new South African research is shining a light on the people we often forget when we talk about suicide — those left in its wake.

    Early findings from a Wits University-led international study suggest almost nine out of ten South African respondents have, at some point in their lives, been exposed to someone else’s suicidal thoughts or behaviour.

    But among those who didn't receive mental healthcare afterwards, almost 6 in 10 say they would have wanted support.

    Researchers say it points to a largely hidden mental-health burden — because suicidal distress doesn't only affect the person experiencing it.

  • A Star Is Born: Episode 39: Robert "Kool" Bell: "Music is the message"
    Today is the 76th birthday of the man who put the “Kool” in Kool & The Gang.

    Robert Bell has spent more than six decades laying down the basslines behind some of the greatest party songs ever recorded.

    But his journey started far more simply — with a couple of old paint cans, one guitar string and a group of teenagers who just wanted to make music.

  • The Compassionate Friends: A lifeline for parents who’ve lost a child
    Losing a child can leave parents and families facing a kind of grief that few people around them understand.

    But a Johannesburg organisation wants bereaved families to know they don’t have to navigate that loss alone.

    The Compassionate Friends have been supporting grieving parents, grandparents and siblings here in Johannesburg for more than four decades — with counselling provided by people who’ve experienced the death of a child themselves.

    And crucially, help is freely available even if you can’t get to their centre.

  • Remember When We Rushed Home for TV?
    This month marks 40 years since M-Net first flickered onto South African television screens.

    The pay-tv channel launched in October 1986 — bringing with it decoders, movies without ad breaks, something called “Open Time" and a group of continuity presenters who became almost as famous as the programmes they introduced.

    It was also a very different era of television — before streaming, binge-watching and hundreds of channels, when South Africans actually rushed home to catch their favourite shows.

    Today is One-Hit Wonder Day — celebrating the artists who gave us one unforgettable song… and then seemingly vanished from the charts.

    They came from nowhere, took over our radios and became part of the soundtrack to our lives.

    And while the artists may have disappeared from the spotlight, decades later, we still know every word.

    HOT1027’s Tara Penny takes us back to some of music’s greatest one-hit wonders…
