  • Love it, Longer Episodes?

    I’ve been listening for the last few weeks every day and I’m afraid I’m gonna devour the entire catalogue and not have anything left to listen to! 😂 I would love some 20 - 30 minute segments! I love listening to Thando, the laughs between hosts and the commentary from the callers! Great job guys! Keep it coming! Listening from Washington DC!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Pimville fallout explained
Q: So, Gastu, at this point, has Thando or Bakwena Production reached out to cast or crew?
No. We ask questions, but we are met with generic responses, and it feels like there is no real attempt to engage or address the concerns of those affected.
Water woes in Johannesburg Recovery underway
Q: Who do residents log a complaint with for overbilling or meter issues?
Residents can visit the City of Johannesburg Working Center or Johannesburg Water depots to log queries, and meter tests can be conducted to verify readings.
Water woes in Johannesburg Recovery underway
Q: What exactly are you maintaining—new piping, or fixing existing pipes during shutdowns?
Maintenance includes scheduled interventions like repairing bypasses, replacing aging pipes, and conducting rehabilitation work on reservoirs and associated infrastructure, which sometimes requires full or partial shutdowns.
Water woes in Johannesburg Recovery underway
Q: So, what's really happening in Gugs? Is it just maintenance or a deeper problem?
Maintenance is happening mainly during winter when demand is lower, but it also reveals aging infrastructure and other systemic challenges; it isn't the sole cause of outages, but a part of ongoing repairs and rehabilitation.
Naked - Wheel Talk 21 May
Q: What does it mean when I have to constantly top up oil into my car?
Oil consumption can indicate an oil leak or a need for a service; the car should be inspected by a qualified person to determine the exact cause, as persistent top-ups suggest a more serious issue than just routine consumption.
