City of Joburg’s Arts Alive Partners with Award-Winning Play “Ka Lebitso La Moya” for a Powerful Theatrical Return
Bongani Bingwa speaks to Mr Vuyisile Mshudulu, Director of Arts, Culture and Heritage in the City of Joburg, about a major cultural moment for Johannesburg. As part of the City’s Arts Alive Festival, the acclaimed play Ka Lebitso La Moya returns to local stages — a hard-hitting, award-winning production written and directed by Momo Matsunyane, the 2024 Standard Bank Young Artist of the Year for Theatre. Set in the fictional township of Ha Satane, the play explores the dangerous intersection of faith, power, and manipulation — showing how blind belief can uplift, but also destroy. After winning multiple Naledi Awards, the production is now set to run at the Ramolao Makhene Theatre from 16 to 26 October 2025. It’s a powerful reminder of Joburg’s creative energy and the role of theatre in sparking conversation and reflection. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

G20 Correspondence Desk with RMB & FNB
Bongani Bingwa speaks to Nokukhanya Mntambo about South Africa’s historic G20 Presidency and what it means for the continent’s future. As the only African nation in the G20 since its founding in 1999, South Africa now holds a critical platform to champion Africa’s priorities on a global scale. With Trade and Investment high on the agenda, corporate backing from FirstRand — through RMB and FNB as platinum sponsors — is helping to drive this mission forward. FirstRand CEO Mary Vilakazi is also serving as co-chair of the influential B20 Task Force, which places South Africa in a strategic position to attract much-needed foreign direct investment. It’s a moment of opportunity, not just for the country, but for Africa as a whole. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

World View with Adam: The tropical rainforest problem
Bongani Bingwa speaks to Adam Gilchrist for a whirlwind look at global headlines making waves. First, the shocking story of a Polish woman who was locked away by her mother for 27 years has stunned Europe, raising questions about hidden abuse and how such isolation went unnoticed for so long. Then, a troubling spotlight on the world’s tropical rainforests — deforestation is accelerating, and experts warn that if urgent action isn’t taken, we could face devastating environmental consequences. Finally, a quirky slice of life from London, where a “Scream Club” is giving stressed-out city dwellers a place to let it all out — literally — by encouraging therapeutic screaming sessions to release tension and rage. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

What’s Gone viral with Khabazela: Send me proof
Bongani Bingwa speaks to Khabazela about the social media moments everyone’s talking about. First up, a viral post has sparked laughs and debates around those awkward “send me proof” requests — whether from suspicious partners, skeptical bosses, or overbearing colleagues, many are sharing stories of having to send selfies, location pins, or timestamps just to prove where they are. Then, there’s the pet owner who went viral for trying to sneak out of the house without triggering their clingy dog — prompting a flood of stories from fellow dog parents who’ve had to get seriously creative just to leave the house in peace. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Ramaphosa suspends SA’s intelligence watchdog
Bongani Bingwa speaks to political journalist Pieter du Toit about the growing storm in South Africa’s intelligence community. President Cyril Ramaphosa has suspended Imtiaz Fazel, the Inspector-General of Intelligence — the very official tasked with keeping the country’s spy agencies in check. This dramatic move follows explosive revelations that Crime Intelligence bosses allegedly blew R227 million on luxury hotels, even as core policing budgets face cuts. For many, it’s an uncomfortable echo of the Richard Mdluli era — a time defined by slush funds, political cover-ups, and shadowy deals. So, is this a bold step towards restoring accountability within intelligence structures, or is it a calculated attempt to sideline someone who may have uncovered too much? Pieter du Toit joins us to unpack the deeper implications. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.
