A Johannesburg dad is proving that growing up does not mean giving up on the dreams you carried as a kid.

Alex Torrão is a father of three, an entrepreneur and the man behind #DAD2DAKAR, an incredible journey to qualify for one of the toughest motorsport events on the planet, the Dakar Rally.

Between school runs, family time and business meetings, Alex is training and competing in major rally events across the world, all with one goal in mind: getting to that Dakar start line.

But this story is about so much more than racing. Alex says it is not about winning Dakar, but about knowing he never gave up on a dream he has carried since he was young.

And perhaps that is the reminder we all need today. Dreams do not have an expiry date, and Alex is proving that with a plan, a lot of hard work and the courage to start, we really can make them real.

This week on Good Things with Brent Lindeque, I sit down with Rikus de Beer, the man behind the wildly popular Radio Raps character, Jonathan.

I went into the interview expecting the larger-than-life humour that has made him one of South Africa’s favourite entertainers. While there certainly were laughs, what I didn’t anticipate was just how grounded and deeply inspiring the conversation would become.

Hearing him reflect on the turning points in his life gave me a fresh appreciation for the person behind the character. At just 26 years old, a severe illness changed everything. After contracting a near-fatal virus and spending six weeks in ICU, he found himself questioning the life he had built. That experience became the catalyst for a bold decision: he left his corporate career behind and chose to chase a dream that made no sense on paper but felt completely right in his heart.

That leap of faith gave birth to Radio Raps, the entertainment brand that would go on to capture South Africans through viral WhatsApp voice notes, unforgettable stand-up performances and the iconic Jonathan character. Alongside the comedy, Rikus also built an impressive business career, becoming the owner of the popular Hennie’s restaurant chain and proving that creativity and entrepreneurship can go hand in hand.

This episode isn’t about comedy… at all. It’s about perspective, taking chances, finding purpose after life’s biggest setbacks and discovering that success often begins with the courage to change direction.
