  • 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.

Thando speaks to Anthony Selepe Pikitup Spokesperson
Q: Anthony, if you were to give an estimate to Joburgers listening right now, when do you think the rubbish may be picked up?
Pickup is continuing in the current discussions and operations; a precise date is hard due to unpredictable gate closures, but efforts are ongoing to normalize service with additional trucks and personnel as resources permit.
Thando speaks to Anthony Selepe Pikitup Spokesperson
Q: So, the city hires Pick It Up, Pick It Up then hires freelancers to work for Pick It Up, and the city being the shareholder complicates accountability?
Correct; Pick It Up is 100% owned by the City of Johannesburg, making the relationship with subcontractors and service providers central to how employment and operations are managed.
Thando speaks to Anthony Selepe Pikitup Spokesperson
Q: Anthony, is that accurate that they are on strike because they are demanding permanent positions?
Yes, the workers on strike are casual workers employed by service providers to Pick It Up, not direct employees of Pick It Up, and absorption would depend on procurement and internal processes.
Opening match disappointment - Can Banyana defend their crown
Q: From a psychological standpoint, how important is the response after an opening defeat for Banyana Banyana?
A strong, collective response from the players and coaching staff is crucial to reset expectations, maintain fan support, and reframe the narrative around the rest of the tournament.
Opening match disappointment - Can Banyana defend their crown
Q: Is that a fair comparison to say that it's okay the girls lost the first game and to compare it to South Africa's World Cup experience?
The hosts acknowledge the setback but emphasize that this tournament operates differently and that there are still opportunities to salvage the campaign, especially if the team learns and regroups quickly.
