Guys today is Gift of The Giver's 29th Birthday. They should be top trending, we should be unveiling a giant statue somewhere and declaring a national holiday!
Here's something cool for you.
Rooibos has just been granted Protection Designation of Origin. This is like what Champagne and Port Wine have and is a first for Africa
I think about how surely they won't just continue to bounce us between levels and not fix the vaccine roll-out because of how ridiculously unsustainable that would be to livelihoods, but then I remember that they've been giving us loadshedding for more than 10 years.
Eskom says that cold weather conditions could lead to more load shedding. If only there was some way they could have seen uncharacteristic cold June coming and prepared.
Imagine a world in which people carried around devices that permanently connected them to an infinite source of information, yet they remained ignorant.
Arguments about the devastating effects the lockdown will have on the poor slap different when they're made by people who never really seemed to care about the poor before the lockdown.

thank you for providing such a breathtaking place to propose
10 years ago I responded to an advert looking for people to audition for a student radio station. I got in and never looked back. That day changed my life forever.
The anti vaxers have found my radio show
someone today: "what qualifies your guest to be talking about the vaccine Nick?!?".
My guest: PhD London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine with years of research on evaluation of TB and HIV diagnostics.
I drink 14 liters of water and read 2 books every day. I wake up at 3am and my entire garden is plant-based. If this isn't your life, you've got no hope.
Supporting the lockdown doesn't mean you blindly follow leadership. Covid doesn't care who the president is, who the ministers are and whether your favorite podcaster believes in masks.
I know this probably seems obvious, but as someone who interviews for a living, it's remarkable watching Oprah work. The skill with which she performs her craft is unrivaled. A true master. Possibly the greatest of our generation?
I don't usually share my work that isn't public-facing on social media, but we just got praise from Ed Sheeran who reached out asking to share something from a recent project and I rate thats tweet worthy. 😁🥳

This is heartbreaking! South African radio would not be what it is without Bob's legacy. He is of an era of pioneers that broke down immeasurable barriers. We must honor his legacy by cherishing and upholding what he created.

He doesn't typically do interviews and it took a lot of trust in me from a lot of people to get him to agree to come on.

Today on air we put the spotlight on mental health. Someone called in saying they prayed every night for God to take their life, but hearing our conversation encouraged them to call SADAG and now they're feeling like there's hope. ❤
Check in on your loved ones always.
Broadcasting today from a vaxx site in Midrand. Just had a 20 year old come through and tell me he came today to get vaccinated because of the information we helped him access on our show. Radio is so powerful

For everyone thinking back to how Musica shaped your childhood. The stores were started by Derek Goosen who started by selling records out of his parents furniture shop. I'm interviewing him tomorrow on my radio show to talk about how he built the business from the ground up.
It's Saturday night and I've just eaten my body weight in pizza and chocolate and I'm currently Return of The King deep into a LOTR marathon. Also, my bank balance hasn't changed in a week. Through this unusual times, I've finally started living the life I've always wanted.
The thing I love most about South Africa is South Africans. I find us to be remarkably resilient, good natured, compassionate and understanding people.
Before posting covid-19 updates ask
1. Is it verifiable
2. Can it be verified.
3. Do I care more about being first to social media with the latest information because I think it makes me look smart, or would I rather my information be verifiable.
#Coronavirussouthafrica
I have so much love for South Africans who have fought against attempts to divide us. Who have sought to protect and rebuild communities, who have rejected racism and who have given of themselves because they believe in this country. 🇿🇦 ❤
The president should use tonight's address to explain plans to fix the vaccine rollout and take serious action against ministers who have stolen money.
Sometimes I think about how the cast of Love Island SA probably don't have access to the outside world and based off the general success of the global franchise are probably thinking that they're becoming national treasures, who'll walk into a life of fame and success.
