  • Meet 'Racing Barbie', the driver rallying for more girls in motorsport
    In this episode, Janine hears from Nicole Donker Torres, a South African racing driver who first got behind the wheel at just eight years old. Today, she races in the Forza Women’s Single-seater series and co-founded a company that will rally other young women to enter local motorsport. Is it expensive? How does she juggle all of this? Who does she follow these days in Formula One? Finally, Janine ends with her hot take on SA's contentious pick for 2026 Car of the Year. Fresh episodes drop on the first working day of every month.

    It was the beginning of 1976 and life was good.

    White South Africans danced along to Queen and ABBA. There was huge anticipation of the pending All Black rugby tour in July – and at last South Africa had TV!

    And then came the Soweto student uprising in June. It was the end of normal, setting in motion a series of events that culminated in the negotiated settlement of 1994.

    Max du Preez, born and raised in a conservative Afrikaner Christian Nationalist family, witnessed the first stones thrown on 16 June – and the first shots fired – as a young newspaper reporter. That was also the end of his normal.

    In the half-century since those seismic days, Du Preez has had a front-row seat to South Africa’s darkest and brightest moments. The End of Normal: Witness to the Unravelling of White Power in South Africa explores how otherwise decent people came to implement and support the evil system of apartheid. He examines the long-term impact of 16 June and takes a hard look at attitudes today, in particular the recent resurgence of Afrikaner nationalism.
