5 Breakfast

Thabo is back at the gym?

Congratulations to Nick Hamman on being named one of the Forty Under Forty. But after his acceptance speech, the 5 Breakfast team had one very important question: did Nick accidentally thank his wife, Sarah, by the wrong name? Nick insists he used a pet name for her, but the team and listeners aren't convinced, leading to a hilarious debate over what he actually said.

Victory House is a Victim Empowerment Programme safe house launched by CMR East London in 2017. Based in Southernwood, KuGompo City, it provides temporary accommodation and support for women and their children escaping domestic abuse, sexual violence and human trafficking. Beyond providing a safe place to stay, residents receive social and psychological support, life-skills training and assistance with employment through programmes such as SheWorks. The aim is to help survivors move from immediate safety towards stability, financial independence and rebuilding their lives.
