947 Drive with Thando

Thinking of buying your first car? You aren’t alone! On this episode of Drive with Thando, brought to you by Naked, we’re joined by Kumbi M to unpack the booming world of pre-owned vehicles.
With Naked’s latest data showing that 3 out of every 4 first-time insurance buyers are opting for second-hand wheels, it’s more important than ever to know what you’re getting into. Kumbi M shares his personal "war stories" and expert insights on why checking a car’s mileage is just the beginning. We dive into the importance of a car’s "digital footprint," how to navigate insurance implications, and the secret tricks to spotting hidden damage or a "rebuilt" car that looks a little too good to be true. Whether you’re a seasoned driver or a first-timer, this is the essential toolkit for making a smart, safe, and savvy purchase.

It’s a conversation that every woman, and anyone who cares about one needs to hear. On this episode of Drive with Thando, we are joined by world-renowned menstrual health activist and public speaker, Candice Chirwa.
Following a concerning study that found hormone-disrupting toxins in menstrual products sold right here in South Africa, Candice sheds light on what this actually means for our bodies. We explore the impact these chemicals have on long-term health, the urgent need for better government regulation, and why the "convenience" of disposables might come at a hidden cost. From discussing safer alternatives like menstrual cups to demanding more transparent research, this interview is a vital wake-up call. It’s time to take control of our health and start asking the tough questions about the products we trust most.
