    This week on WAW! What A Week, DJ Fresh sits down with Thabo "T-Bose" Mokwele. He quit chemical engineering in 1997 for a smaller salary at YFM and a microphone. Twenty-nine years later he's still on air — Metro FM, then Kaya 959 since 2006, where he's just marked two decades with The Best T in the City. Every weekday at nine he takes the baton from Fresh and Thato, and every weekday thousands of strangers hand him their marriages, their money problems and their mothers-in-law on The Blind Spot

    South African saxophonist Linda Sikhakhane joins What A Week (WAW) for a conversation that goes far beyond jazz. From growing up in Umlazi to studying in New York, becoming a Standard Bank Young Artist for Jazz and releasing music through the legendary Blue Note Records, Linda’s journey has been shaped by sound, spirituality, ancestry and an ever-deepening search for identity. With his new self-titled album LINDA, he turns the lens inward — exploring purpose, relationships, community and what

    WAW POLITRICKS | DIDIZA MOTION; ANC ON MATRIC; MATLALA @ MADLANGA; MCKENZIE V SAFA; SA/BRAZIL

    DJ Fresh and Botsang Modimowame Moiloa break down the week South African politics tried to gaslight us. Mpho Maboi sits in. The EFF came for the Speaker and got sent home. Julius Malema's motion of no confidence in Thoko Didiza — over her refusal to oppose Ramaphosa's interdict of the Phala Phala impeachment process — went down 282 to 101, with the GNU bloc, ActionSA and BOSA all voting to keep her. The DA said she made mistakes. They voted for her anyway. Disclosure: Botsang Modimowame Moiloa

    MaNgcobo. Mkabayi. Nomcebo. Mazet. Dawn Thandeka King has spent a decade building the kind of characters that don't leave you when the episode ends. This week on WAW, the Eshowe-born actress, musician and motivational speaker joins DJ Fresh — with Mpho Maboi sitting in — to talk about the roles that made her a household name, what it takes to survive two decades in an industry that chews people up, and being honoured with the Lifetime Shero Award at the 10th annual Gagasi FM Shero Awards.

    WAW POLITRICKS | RAMAPHOSA @ SADC; JACINTA & AFRIFORUM; NSFAS & PUB. PROTECTOR; PRES HICHILEMA

    Five stories, one question: who belongs, and who gets left out. On this week's Politricks, DJ Fresh breaks down the SADC Summit in Durban — where Ramaphosa told the region South Africans are "deeply concerned and ashamed" over the treatment of foreign nationals, while March and March protested outside the venue demanding another deportation deadline. Then the alliance nobody saw coming: March and March leader Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma sits down with AfriForum's Kallie Kriel. Strange bedfellows, or

    XOLLY MNCWANGO | BEING A PK; DISAPPOINTING HER DAD; HER WEEK; PARENTING; FAITH; SINGS FOR US

    This week on What A Week, DJ Fresh sits down with multi-award-winning gospel vocalist Xolly Mncwango — and this one isn't the career interview. It's her week. The highs, the tests, the quiet moments, and the small things she's grateful for. We get the rapid-fire round, the song she couldn't stop playing, the meal that had her saying thank you Jesus, and who called at exactly the right moment. Plus what she said no to, and the one word she'd put on the last seven days. The woman behind Jesus Is

    WAW POLITRICKS | R293 MILL. to move 82,000, But Only R57m Reached Spaza Owners | Politricks

    This week on Politricks with Botsang, we unpack the R293 million repatriation bill Home Affairs never budgeted for — and the letters now sitting with Malawi, Nigeria and Ethiopia asking them to pay it back. We go inside the Madlanga Commission's explosive new KwaZulu-Natal chapter, where a police watchdog has told the inquiry that task teams have been going out to kill, with 149 deaths on the file. And we follow the money on the R500 million Spaza Shop Support Fund, where the Public Protecto

    WAW POLITRICKS | IEC VOTER REG; AMB. SOOKLAL; MKP & ZUMA; IDAC IN THE DOCK; EXPROPRIATION ACT

    DJ Fresh hands over to Botsang Modimowame Moiloa for Politricks. Voter registration closes with the roll past 29 million and a WhatsApp chatbot doing the heavy lifting — is that the IEC succeeding, or the country admitting something? The MK Party rebuilds its top six again: John Hlophe out, Duduzane Zuma in, and a strategic leadership body that lasted exactly one week. South Africa's High Commissioner to India is recalled after a temple photograph with Jacob Zuma and Ajay Gupta — but DIRCO
