Today we’re talking about something that’s in almost every kitchen, every meal, and probably more of our diets than we realise—salt. It’s essential for the body, but too much of it can quietly affect our health in serious ways, from blood pressure to heart disease. So how do we find the right balance?
To unpack this, we’re joined by wellness expert Ronald Abvajee, who’s here to help us understand the role salt plays in our bodies, the hidden sources we might be overlooking, and how we can make smarter choices without sacrificing flavour.

African Perspective: Mkhulu Ntsingisa

Today we take a look at two key AI stories in South Africa. A national AI policy was withdrawn after it included fake, AI-generated references, raising concerns about government oversight. Meanwhile, many middle-class South Africans are cutting streaming subscriptions and turning to AI tools to save money and access services. It’s a clear contrast: AI missteps at official level, but growing everyday use among citizens. We’re joined by tech expert Olivier Tshimbidi to unpack what this means for trust,
affordability, and the future of tech.

If you were at this year’s Family Day in Hartbeespoort, you’ll remember the energy and the treats that kept everyone coming back for more. One standout brand was Slush & Scoop, turning simple refreshments into fun, interactive experiences. Bright colours, fun flavour combinations, and the excitement of watching slushies and scoops come together made their stand a magnet for both children and adults. We’re joined now by Tsholofelo Makhutle, the founder behind the brand.

Now, when last did you read the label on the food you’re eating—not just the expiry date, but the ingredients, the sugar content, the hidden additives? Because the truth is, many of us think we’re making healthy choices... but the labels might be telling a very different story. From confusing ingredient names to misleading marketing claims like “low fat” or “natural,” understanding what’s really in our food has never been more important. So today, we’re unpacking it all. We’re joined by wellness expert Ronald Abvajee to help us break down food labels in a way that actually makes sense—and helps us make better decisions for our health.
