  LINDA SIKHAKHANE | NEW MUSIC; DR NDUDUZO MAKHATHINI; BLUE NOTE RECORDS; COLTRANE; HIS WOW WEEK 04.09.2026 46min

  South African saxophonist Linda Sikhakhane joins What A Week (WAW) for a conversation that goes far beyond jazz. From growing up in Umlazi to studying in New York, becoming a Standard Bank Young Artist for Jazz and releasing music through the legendary Blue Note Records, Linda’s journey has been shaped by sound, spirituality, ancestry and an ever-deepening search for identity. With his new self-titled album LINDA, he turns the lens inward — exploring purpose, relationships, community and what it means to truly know yourself. Linda speaks about the influence of John Coltrane and Winston Mankunku Ngozi, his relationship with mentor Nduduzo Makhathini, carrying African musical traditions onto global stages, and why he sometimes thinks of music not as something he creates, but something he receives. And, of course, he brings the saxophone. 🎷 Linda Sikhakhane on What A Week. Thank you for watching, please subscribe to support the channel.

  WAW POLITRICKS | DIDIZA MOTION; ANC ON MATRIC; MATLALA @ MADLANGA; MCKENZIE V SAFA; SA/BRAZIL 29.08.2026 57min

  DJ Fresh and Botsang Modimowame Moiloa break down the week South African politics tried to gaslight us. Mpho Maboi sits in. The EFF came for the Speaker and got sent home. Julius Malema's motion of no confidence in Thoko Didiza — over her refusal to oppose Ramaphosa's interdict of the Phala Phala impeachment process — went down 282 to 101, with the GNU bloc, ActionSA and BOSA all voting to keep her. The DA said she made mistakes. They voted for her anyway. Disclosure: Botsang Modimowame Moiloa is a member of ActionSA. ActionSA voted against the motion of no confidence in Speaker Thoko Didiza. At the Madlanga Commission, Vusimuzi "Cat" Matlala spent four days saying almost nothing — and the documents said it for him. WhatsApps, proof of payments, a R4 million trail, and a line drawn straight from tender tycoon Hangwani Maumela to the late taxi boss Jothan "King Mswazi" Msibi, alleged head of the Big Five cartel. Self-incrimination can only cover so much. The ANC decided councillors should have matric. Then the lists came in. Kgalema Motlanthe's electoral committee rejected every waiver request, then handed out a pledge form instead — get your Grade 12 within a year or lose the seat. Two NEC meetings in 48 hours, an IEC deadline closing in, and Fikile Mbalula on TV saying no matric isn't a dealbreaker anyway. Which is it? Gayton McKenzie wants his R30 million back from SAFA. No VAR, no explanation, no Danny Jordaan in the room. But Parliament had questions for the Minister too — starting with the R30.9 million spent flying 151 people to the World Cup. And South Africa and Brazil sat down for the 8th Joint Commission, talking investment protection, tourism and Global South coordination. Two G20 economies, USD 2.3 billion in trade, and a shared theory that the world's decisions shouldn't only be made in the North.

  DAWN THANDEKA KING | 28.08.2026 55min

  MaNgcobo. Mkabayi. Nomcebo. Mazet. Dawn Thandeka King has spent a decade building the kind of characters that don't leave you when the episode ends. This week on WAW, the Eshowe-born actress, musician and motivational speaker joins DJ Fresh — with Mpho Maboi sitting in — to talk about the roles that made her a household name, what it takes to survive two decades in an industry that chews people up, and being honoured with the Lifetime Shero Award at the 10th annual Gagasi FM Shero Awards. From Technikon Natal drama student to Shaka iLembe's Mkabayi kaJama. From a 9-to-5 in Durban tourism to Uzalo, Lockdown, DiepCity and Isitha: The Enemy.

  WAW POLITRICKS | RAMAPHOSA @ SADC; JACINTA & AFRIFORUM; NSFAS & PUB. PROTECTOR; PRES HICHILEMA 22.08.2026 1t 7min

  Five stories, one question: who belongs, and who gets left out. On this week's Politricks, DJ Fresh breaks down the SADC Summit in Durban — where Ramaphosa told the region South Africans are "deeply concerned and ashamed" over the treatment of foreign nationals, while March and March protested outside the venue demanding another deportation deadline. Then the alliance nobody saw coming: March and March leader Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma sits down with AfriForum's Kallie Kriel. Strange bedfellows, or the most logical partnership in the country? Plus the DA's federal finance chair Mark Burke, a Reserve Bank probe into R4 billion, and a party that went from "no case to answer" to "stepped aside" in twenty-four hours. Then NSFAS — the Public Protector finds 40,000 students improperly funded to the tune of R5.1 billion, while students who did qualify went hungry. And Zambia, where Hakainde Hichilema takes a second term with 61.4% — but turnout collapsed, and the opposition is crying foul. Thank you for watching, please subscribe to support the channel.

  XOLLY MNCWANGO | BEING A PK; DISAPPOINTING HER DAD; HER WEEK; PARENTING; FAITH; SINGS FOR US 21.08.2026 1t 1min

  This week on What A Week, DJ Fresh sits down with multi-award-winning gospel vocalist Xolly Mncwango — and this one isn't the career interview. It's her week. The highs, the tests, the quiet moments, and the small things she's grateful for. We get the rapid-fire round, the song she couldn't stop playing, the meal that had her saying thank you Jesus, and who called at exactly the right moment. Plus what she said no to, and the one word she'd put on the last seven days. The woman behind Jesus Is Enough, Unusual and The Unusual Encounter — off the stage and in real time.

  WAW POLITRICKS | R293 MILL. to move 82,000, But Only R57m Reached Spaza Owners | Politricks 15.08.2026 1t 22min

  This week on Politricks with Botsang, we unpack the R293 million repatriation bill Home Affairs never budgeted for — and the letters now sitting with Malawi, Nigeria and Ethiopia asking them to pay it back. We go inside the Madlanga Commission's explosive new KwaZulu-Natal chapter, where a police watchdog has told the inquiry that task teams have been going out to kill, with 149 deaths on the file. And we follow the money on the R500 million Spaza Shop Support Fund, where the Public Protector is now involved and MPs still can't get a list of who got paid. Plus: DJ Fresh spent a week with the Volvo ES90, and he has thoughts. Thank you for watching, please subscribe to support the channel.

  WAW POLITRICKS | IEC VOTER REG; AMB. SOOKLAL; MKP & ZUMA; IDAC IN THE DOCK; EXPROPRIATION ACT 08.08.2026 1t 29min

  DJ Fresh hands over to Botsang Modimowame Moiloa for Politricks. Voter registration closes with the roll past 29 million and a WhatsApp chatbot doing the heavy lifting — is that the IEC succeeding, or the country admitting something? The MK Party rebuilds its top six again: John Hlophe out, Duduzane Zuma in, and a strategic leadership body that lasted exactly one week. South Africa's High Commissioner to India is recalled after a temple photograph with Jacob Zuma and Ajay Gupta — but DIRCO decides against disciplinary action. The Madlanga Commission spends a third week pulling apart IDAC, the unit that made the arrests. And in the Western Cape High Court, AfriForum, the DA and the IRR argue to have sections of the Expropriation Act struck down, putting a governing party on the opposite side of the room from the President. Botsang Modimowame Moiloa is a member of ActionSA. This is disclosed where the party has direct involvement in stories covered. Thank you for watching, please subscribe to support the channel.

  WAW POLITRICKS | RAMAPHOSA JUDGEMENT; REV CHIKANE; P.I.C; CHIDIMMA; MADLANGA & ADV JOHNSO 25.07.2026 1t 21min

  The President went to court to stop Parliament asking about the couch — and won. Ramaphosa's interdict halts the Phala Phala impeachment committee until September, the DA says your pension is sitting on a "bonfire of governance" at the PIC, and the ANC's answer to Helen Zille in Joburg is a 75-year-old reverend. Meanwhile, Chidimma Adetshina fights deportation from the only country she's ever called home, IDAC boss Andrea Johnson admits she misled Parliament — under oath — and Ghana takes South Africa to the AU over xenophobic attacks. Botsang Modimowame Moiloa pulls no punches. This is Politricks. Politricks with Botsang is a weekly political commentary segment on WAW: What A Week with DJ Fresh, produced by the Africa Podcast Network. New episodes every week.

  DJ Fresh hands over to Botsang for another week of Politricks. On the docket: President Ramaphosa spends two days in the Western Cape High Court trying to pause his own Section 89 impeachment — and a judge asks why Mandela could stand trial but he can't. Parliament's Ad Hoc Committee draft report leaks amid claims nobody was found wanting, while the Madlanga Commission grinds on to November. The June 30 immigration "deadline" has come and gone — 900+ arrests, 53,000 removals, and Thursday marches now a weekly fixture. Thank you for watching, please subscribe to support the channel.

  This week DJ Fresh sits down with legendary investigative journalist Mzilikazi wa Afrika — the man who broke the Arms Deal story, exposed the R1.7-billion police lease scandal, got arrested for it, and made the Minister of Police apologise in writing. From rural Bushbuckridge to the most feared byline in South African journalism, via a deep-house album and a memoir called Nothing Left to Steal — this is a conversation about power, fear, corruption and the price of the truth.

  Twenty years ago, DJ Fresh, Mpho Maboi and Thato Mataboge shared one YFM studio. Then they scattered — 5FM, SuperSport, Metro, behind the glass — and built whole careers apart. Days before they reunite on Kaya 959 breakfast, they sit down on WAW to tell the real story: the fork in the road, the doors they had to kick down, what 20 years actually cost and taught them, and whether they were ever really friends in the gaps. No press-release nostalgia. Three voices, one table, two decades on the record. Thank you for watching, please subscribe to support the channel.

  WAW POLITRICKS | RAMAPHOSA V PARLY; DA CABINET RESHUFFLE; JUNE 16 JUBILEE; DURBAN DEPORTATIONS 20.06.2026 1t 28min

  This week on Politricks: ▸ Ramaphosa interdicts the impeachment committee over Phala Phala — even as Parliament's own legal team tells the MPs to fight back. Is this exhausting every legal avenue, or weaponising the courts against Parliament? ▸ Vigilantism, immigration, or a failed state? With the 30 June deadline looming, we unpack the Durban Malawian deportation court, the Dudula pressure, and why enforcement was never impossible — just never prioritised. ▸ The DA forces Ramaphosa's hand on Cabinet — Steenhuisen demoted, an ANC reshuffle suddenly on the table. Coalition leverage, or the tail wagging the dog? ▸ The US–Iran peace deal signs Friday in Switzerland — and Netanyahu is isolated at home, in the region, and from Washington. But will it last? ▸ June 16 at fifty. Golden Jubilee, same exclusion. Political freedom won, economic freedom outstanding.
