Stacey & J Sbu

We all know the polite get-out: "Oh, I can't make it" when really, you just didn't want to go. But when did you last say a genuine, intentional no? A no that cost you something. A no that you truly meant.

Stacey opened up this conversation and listeners did not hold back, sharing honest, personal stories about people-pleasing, boundaries and the moments they finally chose themselves. Whether it was saying no to a person, a plan, a job or a relationship, the responses were raw and real.

Registered counsellor Linda Turner joined the conversation to explain why saying no is not selfish, it is necessary. If you have ever struggled to put yourself first or found yourself agreeing to things you desperately wanted to decline, this one is for you.

Head Coach William, SA Flyweight Champion Quinn, and SA Bantamweight Champion Landie from Forge MMA in Westville joined Stacey, J Sbu and Nick Tatham in studio for an honest conversation about life in South African MMA.

Landie opened up about her extraordinary journey, which included a 56kg weight loss transformation before becoming a national champion. Quinn spoke directly to women who feel like MMA is not a space for them, while

Coach William reflected on what has surprised him most about coaching women in the sport. Whether you are curious about combat sports or just love a good story about grit and transformation, this one is worth your time.

Every Wednesday, we hand the mic over to the smallest but mightiest voices in KwaZulu-Natal! The kids of our province take centre stage to share something special with us and honestly? They never disappoint.

This week we stepped into the kitchen. You know that dish that makes you run to the kitchen when you smell it cooking? That plate that your gran makes that nobody else can make quite the same way? We asked the kids o KZN: What's your favourite meal and WHY?

Here's how it went...

South Africa's crime rate means most of us have either seen something go down or know someone who has. Stacey and J Sbu put the question to KZN: if a crime happened right in front of you today, would you step in or would you stay back?

Some say intervening is pure instinct and doing nothing makes you part of the problem. Others say this isn't a movie, and keeping yourself alive is not cowardice, it's just smart thinking. Either way, it got people talking!

Palesa dropped one of those confessions that will have you stopping to think about your own life. She loves her friends, has real history with them and would not trade those memories for anything. But something has shifted and she just cannot unfeel it.

The conversations, the energy, the mindset, it all feels like a different chapter now. So does she create distance and give herself room to grow, or does she stay loyal to the people who helped shape her? J Sbu put it to KZN and, as always, people had a lot to say!

In the age of Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, sharing milestones of your children online has become as natural as breathing for most South African parents. But here is the thing.

South Africa's POPI Act exists specifically to protect personal information and a child's image is personal information. Yet millions of photos of children are uploaded daily without a second thought, by the very people who love them most.

J Sbu asked you: should parents be allowed to post photos of their children on social media? Here's how that went..

Once a week, on a Thursday, Stacey and J Sbu get into other people's lives. This week we’ve got anonymous from Hillcrest, who is feeling a bit emotional about their home situation.

Here's what they had to say:

“I’m the strong one in my family, the one everyone depends on. But I’m tired and no one checks on me. Do I speak up… or just keep going?”

While J Sbu received an influx of worried and helpful voicenotes, he also spoke with Registered Counsellor Linda Turner. If you missed it live, listen in!

J Sbu asked the kids of KwaZulu-Natal one big question: what should grown-ups do to keep the person they love happy? From "put that phone away" to "stop fighting," the answers were equal parts sweet and brutally honest.

J Sbu unpacked Eskom handing out R5.4 billion in bonuses, around R128,000 per employee, after recording its first profit in years, while electricity bills keep rising.

J Sbu debated whether big bonuses actually drive performance or whether they've simply become an expensive expectation and you weighed in. Missed it? Listen in...
