Anele and the Club on 947

Have you ever lived next to a school, a shopping centre, a church or even a popular restaurant, and somehow their parking problems become YOUR problems?

Parents are blocking your driveway during school drop-off. Churchgoers have taken over every available parking spot on a Sunday morning. People visiting the shopping centre have decided your residential street is an extension of the mall's parking lot!

And heaven forbid you actually need to leave your own house, because now you're negotiating with strangers over space outside YOUR property!

One group of housemates got so fed...

You know you've become more than just a helper when you stop being treated like a visitor and start being treated like family.

You're included in the family WhatsApp group, invited to birthdays, consulted on family matters and suddenly everyone knows your business too! When did someone who wasn't related to you by blood become family in every other way? What did you do that...

Cindy recently compared Mo Flava to a Toyota, saying he's dependable, reliable and built to last. The kind of car you can drive for a million kilometres and it'll still get you where you need to go!

And that got us thinking: if you had to compare your favourite radio presenter or celebrity to a car, who would they be?

Is Anele a Mercedes-Benz? Is Frankie a Mini Cooper? Is Robert Marawa a Range Rover? Is DJ Fresh a BMW?

Are they a flashy Ferrari, a reliable Toyota Corolla, a little VW Polo...

Thandile Babalwa Sunduza (born 15 November 1977) is a South African politician, diplomat and former civil servant who represented the African National Congress (ANC) in the National Assembly from 2008 to 2014. She was appointed as Consul-General of South Africa to the United States in 2020.

There's something about South Africans that makes us impossible to miss, even when we're thousands of kilometres away from home. You could be walking around London, New York or LA, minding your own business, and suddenly hear someone speaking with that unmistakable South African accent.

Maybe it's the way we greet strangers, the volume...

Every household had its own set of rules growing up. Some made sense, others were unnecessarily strict, and some parents had us believing the most ridiculous things. We found people sharing the rules they grew up with, and some of these are something else!

Anele met a woman on her cruise who was travelling without her siblings for the first time, and she was clearly enjoying the freedom! She's tired of the responsibilities that come with being the firstborn. But are firstborns really the most hard done by?

Are they the second parents, the family problem-solvers and the ones expected to know better simply because they arrived first? Or are there perks to being the eldest? Do firstborns get rewarded for all that responsibility when it comes to inheritance?

Zinathi Gquma is back for this week's Money Minute. The United States has excluded South Africa and Rwanda from the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), which allowed more than 1,800 South African products to enter the US market tariff-free.

While the headlines focus on major exporters and industries like automotive and agriculture, the impact could reach much further; including smaller businesses supplying parts, products and services to those exporters.

So, what does losing AGOA access mean for small businesses in South Africa's export supply chain, and could new opportunities in markets like China and the...

Cardi B recently appeared on The Latest with Loren LoRosa, where she opened up about the financial pressure that comes with being the wealthy person in the family. She spoke about the so-called 'family tax'  the expectation that when you make it big, everyone around you benefits.

Cardi says she's helped one relative move five times, and eventually had to tell them to settle up! She's also made it clear that just because she has money doesn't mean family can constantly come to her for new clothes, cash or handouts.

It raises an interesting question: W...

Back in 2008, Timbaland & OneRepublic 's Apologize was topping the charts and petrol was around R10 a litre. Now, Discovery Bank and Discovery Insure are bringing a little of that nostalgia back!

 Qualifying clients can earn up to 65% back on fuel, capped at R1,950, effectively bringing your fuel costs down to the equivalent of R10 a litre.

That’s a reason to put a ring on it! Today, we're chatting to Robert Attwell, CEO of Discovery Insure, about how the enhanced fuel benefit works and how you can unlock the maximum rewards.

Anele has returned from her Norwegian adventure chasing the Northern Lights, but she's brought back a rather interesting story from the cruise!

While on board, she met Nikos, a retired Greek landlord who hasn't increased the rent for his young tenants in four years because they've told him they're struggling financially. In fact, just last month, he renewed their lease for another year at exactly the same rental amount.

Then their geyser breaks, and Nikos goes over to sort it out himself. But when he arrives, he spots something rather interesting in the driveway: a...

We got a message from 'Veronica'

Hi Anele,

I’ve been listening to the show for years and I really need advice, so here goes.

I’m a junior accountant at a company in Sandton. Four months ago my manager added me to the leadership team’s WhatsApp group by mistake. I never said a word. I just read. Parking bay fights, someone stealing the Woolies muffins from the boardroom, and a two-week war over whether we should replace the Ricoffy with a coffee machine.

Then on Tuesday night the CFO posted...

Anele is back from chasing the Northern Lights with Flight Centre, and she's brought back more than just holiday pictures, she’s got a cruise story for us!

While on board, she met a German woman in the jacuzzi who was travelling with her twin daughters. The trip had originally been planned with her late husband as a celebration of his 50th birthday, but after his passing, she decided to take the trip with her daughters instead.

Now here's where things get interesting: her new boyfriend is also on the cruise, and apparently, he is NO...

Khokho Madlala approached Anele & The Club asking for assistance with rent: she's the voice behind some of the most powerful soundtracks you've heard on your television screens. Naturally, we had to put that talent to the test, to assist her with her rent...

Khokho Madlala. She's a South African recording artist, songwriter and soundtrack composer, known for her work on DiepCity, Uzalo and Vula Vala. She's also performed with artists including Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Mafikizolo and The Soil

We gave her one brief: We need jingles for our show...She's delivered her creations, and now...

Zinathi Gquma Is Back! In this edition of The Money Minute, Zinathi looks beyond the rising fuel prices we're feeling at the pumps to explore how small businesses are dealing with the knock-on effects.

From tourism operators who are locked into customer prices agreed a year in advance, to farmers facing soaring diesel and animal feed costs, the pressure is mounting.

With fuel costs eating into profits, rising operating expenses and some businesses struggling just to break even, how are small business owners keeping their heads above water?

Zinathi unpacks the real impact o...

He’s a radio heavyweight, an entrepreneur and a man who has built a brand that stretches far beyond the microphone. But today, we’re talking music! Tbo Touch is back with a new single, “Flow,” featuring Sons of Rhythm and Mariechan, dropping tomorrow, 16 October.

The track is about opening yourself up to the good things life has to offer, whether that’s love, happiness, success or new opportunities.

Touch joins us in studio this morning to talk about the new music, the inspiration behind it and what else he has up his sleeve. Tbo Touch, wel...

Yesterday on 947 Drive with Thando, Msizi told listeners that he was sick. Now, you’d expect a man who’s under the weather to sound like he’s fighting for his life, right?

But Anele heard about it and reckons Msizi didn’t even sound sick! So now we need answers. Some of you have mastered the art of sounding sick when you want to stay home, avoid work or get out of doing something. Others are genuinely sick but still sound perfectly fine on the phone.

We want you to call us and give us your...

Thembisa is frustrated after being asked to buy a whole new set of art supplies for her Grade 1 child, despite already spending more than R2,000 on supplies at the beginning of the year. The problem?

The original art teacher has resigned, and the new teacher has sent parents a completely new list of materials to purchase. Now parents are left wondering why they have to pay twice for the same subject, and where they are expected to find the extra money. 

Have you ever been asked to buy new school supplies because a teacher changed, a...

Stokvels are a big part of how South Africans save, invest and make sure there’s money for December groceries, school fees or that annual getaway. But when you’re putting your hard-earned money into a group with family, friends, neighbours or colleagues, you’re also putting a lot of trust in people.

So, what stokvel are you part of, and how does yours work? Is it a grocery stokvel, a savings club, an investment group or one where everyone contributes towards a big December payout? And more importantly, has it ever gone wrong?

Maybe the tr...

There was a time when your parents could travel overseas, come back home, and suddenly the whole family was living differently! Someone went to London and came back with a pair of Reebok Classics, another went to America and suddenly everyone was drinking Pepsi, wearing Tommy Hilfiger or carrying a new school bag that nobody else had.

Where did your parents go, and what was THE thing they had to bring back for you? Was it clothes from London, sweets from America, perfumes from Dubai, or those famous plastic bags filled with goodies from overseas? What did...

There’s growing chatter that some travellers (especially Americans) are booking cruises partly because the onboard medical centres or ports of call offer cheaper doctor visits, dental work or basic procedures than they can get at home.

Medical travel (also called medical tourism) is when people travel to another country specifically for cheaper or faster treatment. Some are even using cruise holidays for basic check-ups or dental work in the ports.

In the United States a routine dental check-up can cost you three or four times what it costs in South Africa. A simple tooth fi...

Grant has a bit of a dilemma involving his 33-year-old sister. She really wants to find love, settle down and have children, but Grant believes there’s something holding her back, her weight.

He reckons that if she became more active and lost a few kilos, she could be a “10 out of 10”. But this is his sister, and he doesn’t want to hurt her feelings or make her feel bad about herself.

So how do you tell someone you love that you think their appearance might be affecting their chances of finding love? Is it ever...

A story about a Walmart employee, Gayle, who reportedly worked for the company for 44 years has sparked debate online after a photograph of her holding a bouquet of flowers circulated. People questioned whether that was enough recognition for more than four decades of service.

However, it hasn't been confirmed that the flowers were her only gift or that she was retiring. It raises a bigger question about workplace loyalty. You can give a company decades of your life, sacrifice weekends and holidays, and remain committed, only to wonder whether that loyalty is truly valued.

What's...

Connie Ferguson has people talking about money owed to her, and the bigger question is: why do some people make it so difficult to get money back when they know they owe you?

We all know how uncomfortable it can be to chase someone for money, especially when you've already provided a service or helped them out. Suddenly, you’re the one sending reminders, following up and feeling awkward while the person who owes you money carries on as if nothing is wrong.

So, let's talk about it: How do you deal with people who ow...

Cindy has made it very clear that noisy kids are not her cup of tea! But let's be honest, some of us have children in our families or friend groups who can turn a peaceful afternoon into complete chaos.

The ones who jump on your couch, touch everything they can find, scream at the top of their lungs, break things and somehow leave your house looking like a daycare centre after a school trip.

Monday is the last day before the 2026 matric final exams officially begin. From Tuesday, 13 October, thousands of learners will be sitting down to write papers that they have spent years working towards.

And if you're a matriculant, you probably don't need anyone to tell you that the pressure is real. You're trying to remember everything you've studied, you're worried about whether you've done enough, you're thinking about what happens after matric, and perhaps you're also carrying the expectations of your family.

But here's the thing: studying harder isn't always the answer. You also need to...

We received a voice note from Minenhle, who has a question about her boyfriend’s WhatsApp habits. She says he has absolutely no messages in his chat history because he constantly clears everything, and he also has his messages set to disappear after 24 hours.

Now, there’s a difference between someone who likes keeping their phone clean and someone who might be deliberately making sure there’s no evidence of their conversations.

Is this just a man who values his privacy, or is he going out of his way to hide something? And if your partne...

You know when you need something that sounds so simple, you’re convinced you’ll find it 
at the first shop you walk into… only to end up driving from one side of town to the other 
looking for it? 

Maybe it was a specific light bulb for your car, a particular ingredient, a school item, a 
replacement part, or something so random that every shop worker looked at you like you 
were asking for something that doesn’t exist. 

You’ve checked the mall, the little shop down the road, the bi...

Zama was house-sitting and looking after someone’s parrot, Poppie. The owner told her to put the bird outside on its perch every day to get some sunlight. Yesterday, Poppie decided to spread its wings and flew away! Zama called the owner to explain what had happened, only to be told that if Poppie isn’t back by the time they return, she won’t get paid.

So now the question is: if you’re looking after someone’s pet and something goes wrong, should you still get paid, or must you take responsibility? Is the owner being unfai...

Imagine you’ve moved into a new place and your neighbour turns out to be a musician. Not the occasional weekend hobby, this person is practising ALL the time.

On one side, you’ve got the drummer: bang, bang, bang… the same beat being played over and over, sometimes for hours. You can hear every kick, snare and cymbal through the walls.

On the other side, you’ve got the DJ who seems to believe your home is part of the nightclub. Bass shaking the windows, music pumping through the walls and suddenly it’s 11pm and the...

Not the obvious stuff like your passport, phone and clothes, we mean that one random thing you refuse to leave home without because you KNOW you’re going to need it.

Maybe you travel with your own coffee because hotel coffee simply isn’t going to cut it. Maybe there’s a specific tea your mom packs everywhere, a two-pin plug because somehow hotels never put a charging point where you actually need one, or something completely unexpected that has become part of your travel routine.

What do you carry with you every single time you tr...

TTO left his jacket at work a couple of months ago. He didn’t think much of it until recently, when he became convinced, he’d seen someone at work wearing what looks like his jacket.

Now he’s stuck: does he ask them about it, two months later, or is the moment gone?

At what point does asking someone about something that you think is yours become awkward because you left it too long? And if you’re only pretty sure it’s your jacket, do you ask anyway or let it go?

If you grew up with TKZee, you know Kabelo Mabalane as Bouga Luv one of the voices that helped define an era of South African music. From “Shibobo” and “Dlala Mapantsula” with TKZee to “Pantsula 4 Life” in his solo career, Kabelo has been part of the soundtrack of South Africa for decades.

But it’s been 11 years since his last solo album, and now he’s back not trying to recreate the Kabelo of the past, but making music from the man he has become: a husband, father, pastor and someone who has lived through some very different chapte...

You know those movies everyone seems to love the ones your friends keep telling you are “MUST WATCH”, but you have absolutely ZERO interest in seeing?

Maybe you’ve heard enough about it, the hype has put you off, or you’ve simply decided: “Nope. I don’t need to be convinced.” What’s the movie you refuse to watch, no matter how many times people tell you it’s brilliant?
