Former presenters reunite to celebrate Lotus FM's 42nd birthday

Side hustles are becoming increasingly important in the country, and on Talk@7, we are shifting the focus to businesses and building purpose-driven platforms.

We’ll explore the reality of starting small, balancing risk, wearing multiple hats, and building something from the ground up. The big question is: how do you take a small home business and transform it into something bigger, while remaining true to your values and purpose?

We are marking International Wellness Day. It is a reminder for all of us to slow down, check in with ourselves, and focus on living healthier, more balanced lives. However, with busy schedules, stress, and everything else that life throws at us, this tends to take a back seat.

We are bringing two experts to help us get back on track. They are twin doctors with a shared passion for helping people make simple, practical changes that can have a real impact on both physical and mental well-being. We’re talking better sleep, managing stress, navigating flu season and how small daily habits can make a big difference in the long run. Welcome to Lotus FM, Dr Ishq Pramchand and Dr Ashiq Pramchand.

On Talk@7, we turn our attention to an issue that is becoming harder to ignore in homes, communities, and at the checkout counter - food insecurity in South Africa, intensified by the rising cost of fuel. We’ll explore how we can respond to this reality in a way that is practical, sustainable, and empowering. One of the key solutions gaining momentum is growing your own food. To help us unpack this, we are joined by experts from Food and Trees for Africa, EduPlant Manager Bharathi Tugh and Communications Manager Nicole Ras.
