This Women’s Month, 5FM is celebrating the women who move us, and our next guest doesn’t just move people; she moves some seriously heavy things before heading off to teach science.


+  Nadia van Biljon is a teacher, a mother and a semi-professional bodybuilding athlete. She is also the mom of James, one of 5 Breakfast’s favourite young listeners; so greatness clearly runs in the family.
+  Nadia’s journey began with an honest reckoning about her health. It has since taken her from rebuilding her body to earning her Protea colours; and, just two weeks ago, being crowned the 2026 IFBB South African Semi-Pro Bikini Fitness Champion. She has now been selected to represent South Africa at the IFBB World Championships in Spain later this year.


+  But representing your country comes with a heavy price tag. Because Nadia must fund the journey herself, she has launched a BackaBuddy campaign to help carry the green and gold onto the world stage.


+  Nadia van Biljon, welcome to 5 Breakfast; and congratulations, champ!
