John Maytham speaks to Paula Martini | Travel journalist, who helps us unpack why the Big Hole is only the beginning of Kimberley’s story — and why this Northern Cape city is fast re-emerging as a serious heritage and travel destination. She explores what visitors can expect today, from modernised museum experiences to the wider cultural and historical landscape that surrounds the city.
Afternoon Drive with John Maytham is the late afternoon show on CapeTalk.
Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather.

A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30 pm. CapeTalk fans call in to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions. Another firm favourite is the humorous Thursday crossing with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis, called “Plan B”.
