Spotlight: The importance of World Hearing Day

On this episode of YOUR STORY on 947, we sit down with Thapelo Mokoena for a powerful, deeply personal conversation. From a journey that began under a tree on the way to the hospital, to being shaped by a father he admired and brothers who built his resilience — his story is rooted in purpose. We unpack his evolution from TV presenter to actor, producer, and entrepreneur, driven by reinvention and bold decisions. This is more than success — it’s about discipline, legacy, and becoming the man behind the spotlight.

Pheello Oliphants (Spokesperson of the Eastern Department of co-orporate governance and traditional affairs : The situation puts pressure on the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs to clarify what laws exist to prevent unauthorised traditional leaders from being established. It also raises concerns about whether recognising a “king” outside South Africa’s official traditional structures is legitimate, and if such a title has any legal validity under the country’s constitutional framework.

Mfundi Vundla is finally opening up about one of the biggest shake-ups in South African TV. He explains how the dramatic dismissal of 14 Generations actors in 2014 came down to a contract he had to honour with the broadcaster. What looked like a harsh decision, he says, was actually a battle that wasn’t his to fight. According to Vundla, the actors were taking on the wrong person.
