Basetsana Khumalo on reinvention, legacy and why "if it doesn't scare you, it's not big enough"
2026/08/17 | 7 mins.Media mogul and businesswoman Basetsana Khumalo opens up about pursuing her doctorate in her 50s, building a fertilizer plant from coal gasification, and three decades of reinventing herself in business, in a candid chat with Martin Bester ahead of her Legacy Speaks address at the MANCOSA Jacaranda FM Business Breakfast. She talks about the stigma women face moving from beauty pageants to boardrooms - and why she'd rather "fail spectacularly" than never try at all.

With their trademark humour and down-to-earth vibe, Martin and the gang chat about whether there’s an age limit for trendy phrases. Tune in for a lively discussion that mixes laughs with real talk about how the president might be winning over the youth in unexpected ways.
#ClockIt - Ahead of his address at the MANCOSA Jacaranda FM Business Breakfast, Springbok legend Bryan Habana joined Martin Bester and the Breakfast team live from VodaWorld to talk leadership lessons from professional sport, the five non-negotiables he believes drive success, and what leading a mostly-female fintech team taught him about unlearning old habits. He also shares his hilarious tale of teeing off in front of 4,500 spectators alongside Scottie Scheffler and Justin Rose, and gives his take on this weekend's Springboks vs All Blacks clash at Ellis Park.
- Their comeback single, 'Ohema', an Afro-infused pop track from their EP, was released on 24 July 2026.
'Ohema' is derived from the Akan word for "queen" (or Ohemaa) in Ghana.
The project marks both a return and a reinvention, staying true to the emotional storytelling and soaring vocal performances that made fans fall in love with them, while embracing fresh sonic influences such as Afrobeats and 3-step.
The result is a mature, confident and beautifully evolved sound that reflects the women they are today.
More than just a comeback, 'Full Circle' is a celebration of legacy, sisterhood and growth.
On Friday, 14 August, Jacky, Mariechan and Liesl joined Breakfast with Martin Bester to celebrate the new music.
