Dis met ’n skok wat Mevrou besef mense se geduld en hulle vlakke van verdraagsaamheid lê laag in November. Miskien is dit ’n einde-van-die-jaar probleem, of dalk was die jaar maar net lank.

SA Rugby chief executive Rian Oberholzer is in the hot seat on the latest edition of To The Last Drop. Presenters Brenden Nel and Liam Del Carme fired wide ranging questions at the veteran rugby administrator, in particular SA Rugby's much publicised proposed equity deal with the Ackerley Sports Group (ASG). Oberholzer reaffirmed SA Rugby's need to enter an equity agreement and he explained why ASG was their preferred bidder.

Oberholzer also laid bare what SA's competition structure might look like if all the balls in the air fall into place and why the country can't afford to only have four professional teams.

Brenden and Liam also reflect on the last weekend of URC action before the competition went into recess.

In our busy lives, finding a balance between work and personal time can feel almost impossible. In this episode, Elana chats with life coach Lori Milner about how we can bring more peace into our daily routines, prevent burnout and find more work-life balance.

Lori also highlights the role of coaching in the workplace and the importance of creating a 'safe space' for vulnerability and growth. Lori's website

Mevrou is besig om te soek na die appel in die lang gras onder die ou familie boom. Daar is niks lekkerder as om te gaan kyk hoe die voorgeslagte gelyk het nie – daai ou swart-en-wit fotos wat jou meer leer oor waar jy vandaan kom. Maar daarmee saam vloed die herinneringe terug en voor hulle dit kon keer, ook die trane. Die nostalgie laat Gerda de Sousa en Dianne Broodryk sommer huil en lag op dieselfde tyd …….
