Breakfast with Martin Bester

The moment a New Zealand councilwoman joined an online council meeting from her bathroom has gone viral, leaving internet users in stitches.

To make matters worse, City Councillor Jo Galer’s washing was also on full display as it dried behind her.

While some people would have died of embarrassment, it was Galer’s nonchalant response to the situation that really grabbed people’s attention.

According to the ‘New York Post’, Mayor Sophie Barker immediately addressed the situation and let Galer know that her washing was on full display for the entire livestream.

As the inventor of the automobile, Mercedes-Benz is celebrating 140 years of innovation in 2026, and Jacaranda FM and Breakfast with Martin Bester are celebrating with them.

We spoke to Mercedes-Benz South Africa's Head of Customer Connection, Mayur Bhana, about the new Mercedes-Benz CLA.

It is the most technologically advanced Mercedes-Benz yet, featuring AI integration and the new Mercedes-Benz Operating System, enhanced by Gemini. It combines innovation, luxury, intelligent features and impressive driving performance.

A new bill aimed at addressing absent fatherhood and mental health issues affecting men has been proposed.

According to The Citizen, Nikita Harris from Legacy Nation said that when men step up, “households stabilise and communities heal”.

This is exactly what she hopes to achieve with her MENPOWERED campaign and the proposed Responsible Parenthood Bill.

The new bill argues that having an official day dedicated to men could help address issues unique to men, as well as those affecting children and families.

The Responsible Parenthood Bill aims to establish an official Men’s Day on 26 June, aligning it with the anniversary of the 1952 Defiance Campaign.

To say South Africans are gatvol of corruption is an understatement, but we often feel our hands are tied when it comes to fighting it.

One resident, however, has decided to take the allegedly corrupt system at a Home Affairs office head-on.

In a video that has surfaced online, the woman can be seen calling out officials at an alleged Home Affairs branch for accepting bribes to assist those who pay first.

The woman alleged that she was approached outside the branch and asked to pay R150 to receive her card, reportedly an ID card, within 10 minutes.
