Back to R10 a Litre? Discovery’s New Fuel Rewards Explained with CEO of Discovery Insure Robert Attwell

Qualifying clients can earn up to 65% back on fuel, capped at R1,950, effectively bringing your fuel costs down to the equivalent of R10 a litre. That’s a reason to put a ring on it! Today
Your tenants say they can't afford a rent but buy an expensive new car. Would you still keep their rent the same?
Anele has returned from her Norwegian adventure chasing the Northern Lights, but she's brought back a rather interesting story from the cruise! While on board, she met Nikos, a retired Greek landlord who hasn't increased the rent for his young tenants in four years because they've told him they're struggling financially. In fact, just last month, he renewed their lease for another year at exactly

What do you do when you notice an error in group chat you were mistakenly added to??
We got a message from 'Veronica' Hi Anele, I’ve been listening to the show for years and I really need advice, so here goes. I’m a junior accountant at a company in Sandton. Four months ago my manager added me to the leadership team’s WhatsApp group by mistake. I never said a word. I just read. Parking bay fights, someone stealing the Woolies muffins from the boardroom, and a two
Anele’s Northern Lights trip came with some drama: The cruise, the ex and the unhappy boyfriend
Anele is back from chasing the Northern Lights with Flight Centre, and she's brought back more than just holiday pictures, she’s got a cruise story for us! While on board, she met a German woman in the jacuzzi who was travelling with her twin daughters. The trip had originally been planned with her late husband as a celebration of his 50th birthday, but after his passing, she decided to take
Anele & The club has new jingles: What do you think of them?
Khokho Madlala approached Anele & The Club asking for assistance with rent: she's the voice behind some of the most powerful soundtracks you've heard on your television screens. Naturally, we had to put that talent to the test, to assist her with her rent... Khokho Madlala. She's a South African recording artist, songwriter and soundtrack composer, known for her work on DiepCity, Uzalo and Vul

The Money Minute: Zinathi Gquma Returns and chats the impact of rising fuel prices on small businesses
Zinathi Gquma Is Back! In this edition of The Money Minute, Zinathi looks beyond the rising fuel prices we're feeling at the pumps to explore how small businesses are dealing with the knock-on effects. From tourism operators who are locked into customer prices agreed a year in advance, to farmers facing soaring diesel and animal feed costs, the pressure is mounting. With fuel costs eating int
Tbo Touch dropped his single "Flow" today and he is in studio to tell us all about it
He’s a radio heavyweight, an entrepreneur and a man who has built a brand that stretches far beyond the microphone. But today, we’re talking music! Tbo Touch is back with a new single, “Flow,” featuring Sons of Rhythm and Mariechan, dropping tomorrow, 16 October. The track is about opening yourself up to the good things life has to offer, whether that’s love, happines
Msizi from 947 Drive with Thando claims he is sick, but his sick voice is not convincing enough so we asked Joburg to show him how it's done
Yesterday on 947 Drive with Thando, Msizi told listeners that he was sick. Now, you’d expect a man who’s under the weather to sound like he’s fighting for his life, right? But Anele heard about it and reckons Msizi didn’t even sound sick! So now we need answers. Some of you have mastered the art of sounding sick when you want to stay home, avoid work or get out of doing som
Thembisa is complaining about a stationary list when there are only 6 weeks left of school, have you ever been asked to buy new school supplies?
Thembisa is frustrated after being asked to buy a whole new set of art supplies for her Grade 1 child, despite already spending more than R2,000 on supplies at the beginning of the year. The problem? The original art teacher has resigned, and the new teacher has sent parents a completely new list of materials to purchase. Now parents are left wondering why they have to pay twice for the same subje
What stokvel are you apart of and how did it go?
Stokvels are a big part of how South Africans save, invest and make sure there’s money for December groceries, school fees or that annual getaway. But when you’re putting your hard-earned money into a group with family, friends, neighbours or colleagues, you’re also putting a lot of trust in people. So, what stokvel are you part of, and how does yours work? Is it a grocery stokve
Where did your parents go and it was THE thing you had to wear / drink / eat...?
There was a time when your parents could travel overseas, come back home, and suddenly the whole family was living differently! Someone went to London and came back with a pair of Reebok Classics, another went to America and suddenly everyone was drinking Pepsi, wearing Tommy Hilfiger or carrying a new school bag that nobody else had. Where did your parents go, and what was THE thing they had to b
Would you travel out of South Africa for cheaper healthcare somewhere else?
There’s growing chatter that some travellers (especially Americans) are booking cruises partly because the onboard medical centres or ports of call offer cheaper doctor visits, dental work or basic procedures than they can get at home. Medical travel (also called medical tourism) is when people travel to another country specifically for cheaper or faster treatment. Some are even using cruise
How do you politely tell someone they have a flaw?
Grant has a bit of a dilemma involving his 33-year-old sister. She really wants to find love, settle down and have children, but Grant believes there’s something holding her back, her weight. He reckons that if she became more active and lost a few kilos, she could be a “10 out of 10”. But this is his sister, and he doesn’t want to hurt her feelings or make her feel bad abo
What is the story you heard about someone working at the company for long and got nothing..?
A story about a Walmart employee, Gayle, who reportedly worked for the company for 44 years has sparked debate online after a photograph of her holding a bouquet of flowers circulated. People questioned whether that was enough recognition for more than four decades of service. However, it hasn't been confirmed that the flowers were her only gift or that she was retiring. It raises a bigger questio
As a landlord how do you evict a tenant that refuses to pay their rent?
Connie Ferguson has people talking about money owed to her, and the bigger question is: why do some people make it so difficult to get money back when they know they owe you? We all know how uncomfortable it can be to chase someone for money, especially when you've already provided a service or helped them out. Suddenly, you’re the one sending reminders, following up and feeling awkward whil
Cindy does not want loud in her home! Which kids are banned from your house?
Cindy has made it very clear that noisy kids are not her cup of tea! But let's be honest, some of us have children in our families or friend groups who can turn a peaceful afternoon into complete chaos. The ones who jump on your couch, touch everything they can find, scream at the top of their lungs, break things and somehow leave your house looking like a daycare centre after a school trip. Hang
Matric exams are upon us, how is your household preparing??
Monday is the last day before the 2026 matric final exams officially begin. From Tuesday, 13 October, thousands of learners will be sitting down to write papers that they have spent years working towards. And if you're a matriculant, you probably don't need anyone to tell you that the pressure is real. You're trying to remember everything you've studied, you're worried about whether you've done en
If your partner’s phone had absolutely no WhatsApp history, would you see it as a red flag or am I reaching?
We received a voice note from Minenhle, who has a question about her boyfriend’s WhatsApp habits. She says he has absolutely no messages in his chat history because he constantly clears everything, and he also has his messages set to disappear after 24 hours. Now, there’s a difference between someone who likes keeping their phone clean and someone who might be deliberately making sure
Mondli drove to KZN for spice, what did you drive all over town searching for??
You know when you need something that sounds so simple, you’re convinced you’ll find it at the first shop you walk into… only to end up driving from one side of town to the other looking for it? Maybe it was a specific light bulb for your car, a particular ingredient, a school item, a replacement part, or something so random that every shop worker looked at
13 year old Lesedi thinks auntie Anele is rage baiting the city for agreeing that a pet sitter should not get paid
Zama was house-sitting and looking after someone’s parrot, Poppie. The owner told her to put the bird outside on its perch every day to get some sunlight. Yesterday, Poppie decided to spread its wings and flew away! Zama called the owner to explain what had happened, only to be told that if Poppie isn’t back by the time they return, she won’t get paid. So now the question is:&nbs
Which would you rather live next to: a drummer or a DJ?
Imagine you’ve moved into a new place and your neighbour turns out to be a musician. Not the occasional weekend hobby, this person is practising ALL the time. On one side, you’ve got the drummer: bang, bang, bang… the same beat being played over and over, sometimes for hours. You can hear every kick, snare and cymbal through the walls. On the other side, you’ve got the DJ
What do you carry with you when you travel...?
Not the obvious stuff like your passport, phone and clothes, we mean that one random thing you refuse to leave home without because you KNOW you’re going to need it. Maybe you travel with your own coffee because hotel coffee simply isn’t going to cut it. Maybe there’s a specific tea your mom packs everywhere, a two-pin plug because somehow hotels never put a charging point where
What is the moratorium on bringing up something that is wrong? How long do you have to ask someone?
TTO left his jacket at work a couple of months ago. He didn’t think much of it until recently, when he became convinced, he’d seen someone at work wearing what looks like his jacket. Now he’s stuck: does he ask them about it, two months later, or is the moment gone? At what point does asking someone about something that you think is yours become awkward because you left it too lo
Kabelo Mabalane says everybody needs somebody and he is here to tell us why?
If you grew up with TKZee, you know Kabelo Mabalane as Bouga Luv one of the voices that helped define an era of South African music. From “Shibobo” and “Dlala Mapantsula” with TKZee to “Pantsula 4 Life” in his solo career, Kabelo has been part of the soundtrack of South Africa for decades. But it’s been 11 years since his last solo album, and now he’
A movie you REFUSE to watch!!! Its ok, I don’t have to be convinced...?
You know those movies everyone seems to love the ones your friends keep telling you are “MUST WATCH”, but you have absolutely ZERO interest in seeing? Maybe you’ve heard enough about it, the hype has put you off, or you’ve simply decided: “Nope. I don’t need to be convinced.” What’s the movie you refuse to watch, no matter how many times people tell
Parking wars in the complex… who does the visitors parking belong to?
A neighbourly parking dispute is causing tension in a complex. Every Friday, a woman at number 10 parks in one of the visitors’ bays apparently to keep the parking available for her visitors who arrive in a white BMW. The problem is that another resident’s husband regularly uses that same visitors’ bay to park his company car. So now there’s an argument over who gets
Does it matter if the employee looks richer than the boss?
Your boss is supposed to be the one at the top but what happens when you pull up to work in a better car than them, or you’re consistently the best-dressed person in the office? Maybe you’re earning less, but your wardrobe says otherwise. Maybe your boss is driving an old Polo while you’re arriving in something far more expensive. Does it matter if the employee looks richer than
What do you think people who are brave for doing?
There are just some things other people do that make you look at them and think: “Absolutely not. You’re a stronger person than me.” Frankie recently had his ears and nose waxed and apparently the nose situation was so serious, he had to go back for FOUR rounds. Anele has her own line in the sand: HYROX. Wall balls, medicine-ball squats, running, pushing, pulling… all of i

What are you consuming daily? We listen and we don’t judge...?
We all have that one thing we consume every single day that we probably shouldn’t admit out loud. Maybe it’s three energy drinks before 10am, ice cubes, a ridiculous amount of TikTok, toothpaste, or enough coffee to keep an entire office awake. So today, we’re saying it with our full chest: What are you consuming daily? We listen… and we don’t judge. Hang out with An
Not every child thrives in a classroom, what made you choose a different kind of schooling for you kid?
There are so many different ways to educate a child today, traditional schools, homeschooling, online schooling, specialised schools but how different are they really? Maybe your child was brilliant at something, but their school didn’t offer it, so you moved them. Maybe the traditional classroom just wasn’t working for your child, and homeschooling or online schooling changed everythi
The road-trip stop you refuse to skip?
You know that one stop on a road trip where nobody even has to ask, “Are we stopping here?” you just pull in. Maybe you’re heading to Limpopo and there’s a particular garage, farm stall or restaurant your family always stops at. Maybe it’s Alzu in Mpumalanga, where you’re not just stretching your legs, you’re checking out the animals, grabbing something to
Would you cancel your birthday trip for your partner’s family wedding?
You’ve had your birthday trip with your best friends planned for eight months, flights booked, hotels paid for, most of it non-refundable. Then, three weeks before the trip, your partner’s sister announces that her wedding is happening on your birthday. Now your partner and his whole family expect you to cancel the trip and attend the wedding. But do you really have to? Is your partner
Is 50/50 between 3 people fair when 2 of those people are a married couple?
Adam has sent us a voice note, and he’s asking a question that could get VERY interesting. His brother is married, while Adam is single, and the three of them apparently get along really well. So much so that the brother and his wife regularly invite Adam along on holidays and trips. But there’s one thing that’s been bothering him: whenever they go away together, everything gets
Is it rude to stand/sing at a seated concert?
There’s a big difference between singing along at a massive stadium concert and sitting in a theatre watching a live performance. At a stadium, everyone is shouting the lyrics, dancing and getting involved. But in a theatre, where you’re sitting close to the stage and surrounded by people who paid to hear the performers, should you keep your singing to yourself? If you know every word,
If a photographer takes your picture, can they post it?
Photographer Max Global Media sparked the conversation with a post saying: “When a client won’t let you post their photos” and it raises an interesting question about who actually gets to decide what happens to a photograph once it’s been taken. If you’ve paid a photographer to take pictures of you, is it automatically understood that they can use those images for the
We are chatting Love & Lobola and new book with chef Neo Nontso
Her new book, Love & Lobola, tells the story of modern African romance through recipes, rituals, family, marriage and the meals that become part of our biggest life moments. It’s inspired by her own journey from becoming a wife to preparing to become a mother and brings together more than 80 recipes, from traditional favourites to more contemporary dishes. And because food and love are b
Without giving us the graphics or bashing restaurants... tell us about the time you got food poisoning...?
There are few experiences more humbling than food poisoning. One minute you’re enjoying your meal, the next you’re negotiating with God from the bathroom floor! Maybe it was that dodgy chicken at a restaurant, a braai where the meat was suspiciously pink, leftovers that had been sitting in the fridge since Zuma was president or that one person who says, “It still smells fine!&rdq
What is an American / Tv thing to do...?
Anele has just confessed to eating ice cream straight out of the tub and now we’re questioning how many things we do because we’ve seen Americans do it on TV. Eating ice cream straight from the tub, putting your feet on the coffee table, having a giant fridge covered in magnets, saying “I’ll take a rain check”, drinking coffee in a massive takeaway cup…What&rsq
Masked Singer Season 3: Khanyi Mbau and Judith Sephuma in studio
Khanyi Mbau and Judith Sephuma made it all the way to the Season 3 finale of The Masked Singer SA, leaving Mzansi guessing right until the final reveal. Khanyi had viewers trying to connect the clues to the woman behind Chopsticks, while the detectives came up with names ranging from Nandi Madida to the eventual correct guess, Khanyi Mbau. Judith Sephuma, meanwhile, kept everyone guessing as Gogga
Sune does not want to attend her friend's wedding because she was not chosen as a bridesmaid, is she wrong?
Your friend made you a bridesmaid at her wedding, you stood beside her, helped with the dress, the drama, the speeches, the whole thing. Now it’s your turn to get married… does she automatically get a spot in your bridal party? Hang out with Anele and The Club on 947 every weekday morning. Popular radio hosts Anele Mdoda, Frankie du Toit, Thembekile Mrototo, and Cindy Poluta take fun
How do we prevent Petrol attendants from getting scammed by drivers?
A petrol attendant is allegedly facing a R1,000 bill after a customer allegedly filled up their car and drove off without paying at a petrol station in Waterfall City. The attendant was the one serving the customer at the time, and now the question is whether they should be held financially responsible for the driver’s actions. According to reports, the driver of a vehicle bearing the regist
Masked Singer Season 3: Bontle Modiselle crowned the winner as Spotty the dog
Our rockstar of the season, Spotty came in with fire, energy and dance moves that had us captivated. We kept falling in love with her every week on The Masked Singer season 3. The detectives along the way told their own story. J'Something had been thinking it was Pabi Moloi the whole time, but the dance moves made him consider another entertainer like piano sensation, Boohle. Somizi had his own "a
Your child tells you their teacher is crying at school almost every day. Do you contact the teacher?
Your child comes home and casually tells you, “My teacher cries almost every day.” Now what? Do you pick up the phone and check in with the teacher because that doesn’t sound right? Or do you stay out of it because you don’t know what’s happening in that classroom and your child might only be seeing one small part of the story? At what point does a parent go from &ldq
Should parents still be forcing teenagers to attend family gatherings they don't want to attend?
It’s a Saturday afternoon, and the family has a big lunch, birthday or family gathering planned. Everyone is expected to be there… except the teenager who suddenly has “plans,” doesn’t feel like going, or would rather stay home. The parent says, “Absolutely not. You’re coming with us.” The teenager says, “But why must I go somewhere I don&rsqu
If your child is embarrassed by the family car, would you get a new car?
Imagine you pull up to school to fetch your child, and before you’ve even stopped properly, they’re already saying, “Mom, please don’t park here!” They’re embarrassed by the family car. Maybe it’s old, maybe it’s got a few dents, or maybe it’s simply not the flashy car their friends are arriving in. And then they hit you with, “Can’
Who spoiled the surprise?
You’ve planned the birthday surprise, everyone has been sworn to secrecy, the cake is hidden, the WhatsApp group is called “DON’T TELL THEM!” and somehow the one person who was supposed to keep quiet is the one who ruins everything. Maybe they accidentally mention the restaurant, leave the gift where it can be found, or just blurt out “So, are you excited for Saturday
What new scams have you discovered?
There is a new scam every day and the scary part is that scammers are getting much better at making them sound believable. It’s not always an obvious “Congratulations, you’ve won a million rand!” message anymore. Sometimes it’s someone claiming to be from your bank, your car dealership, a delivery company or even asking you seemingly harmless personal questions. You m
Has your partner ever let you forge their signature on important documents?
Your partner needs a document signed, they’re not around, and they say: “Just sign for me.” Harmless favour… or the moment you realise you’ve just been trusted with a little too much power? Have you ever forged your partner’s signature with their permission and was that the last time they ever asked you to do it? Maybe you are like producer Ryan, where you forg
Can you take your dog to a house viewing?
Imagine you’re selling your house, you’ve got an open house, people are walking through the rooms, looking at the kitchen, checking out the garden… and then someone arrives with their DOG. Not because they’re moving in with the dog they’ve brought the dog along to view the property with them. Now, is that completely reasonable? After all, if the dog is going to live
Megan's matric dance: Kingdeekay Luxury Shuttles pulls out all the stops with a G-Wagon
In January we received a voice note from Lynette who said it was her daughters birthday on the 15th of January and she wanted to surprise her with a call from Anele and the Club and ask us to get her a nice car for her matric farewell... Hang out with Anele and The Club on 947 every weekday morning. Popular radio hosts Anele Mdoda, Frankie du Toit, Thembekile Mrototo, and Cindy Poluta take fun to
Masked Singer Season 3: Simz and Tino unmasked as the Sheep
They came in as the first-ever duo to take on The Masked Singer South Africa and from the moment Sheep hit that stage, Mzansi was hooked. The performances had the energy, the rhymes were always on point, and the clues had our detectives going in completely different directions. And when it was finally time to take the masks off, the guesses came flying! Somizi went with hip-hop couple Reason and G
What was that one mediocre movie your family owned on VHS that you were absolutely obsessed with?
A tweet from @90STALGIC has sparked a very specific kind of millennial nostalgia. That one movie your family happened to own on VHS when you were about 12 the movie you watched so many times that you knew every line, every scene, and every song, even though, looking back now, it really wasn’t that good. But that’s the thing about childhood: you don’t remember the movie for its re
Do the kids of Joburg actually know what a reverse call is?
Alakhe had a bit of a school emergency last week, he tore his pants at school and needed his mom, Anele, to bring him a new pair. So, naturally, he called his mom and got the rescue mission underway. But that got Anele thinking about how different things were back in the day. Because if you were a kid and found yourself in a situation like that with no airtime, you couldn’t just pick up your
If someone’s car is blocking your driveway with the keys in it, do you have the right to move it?
Someone has parked their car across your driveway, blocking you in and you’ve tried calling them, but they’re nowhere to be found. Then you notice something interesting: the keys are still inside the car. So what do you do? Do you have the right to get into the car, start it and move it out of your driveway because it’s preventing you from leaving? Or, the moment you touch that c
Luxurious Marble Circus Movie Game: Day 5
Some of the most iconic movie moments are so memorable that you don’t even need to see the screen to know exactly what you’re watching. Sometimes it’s a line, a conversation or even the way two characters interact that gives the whole movie away. Today, we’re putting that to the test. You’re going to hear a scene recreated from a famous movie, but we’re kee
Nyala O's Mapaseka Koetle, Motlatsi Mafatshe and Tsholofelo Matshaba in studio
If you’ve been watching Mzansi Magic’s Nyala O, you’ll know that these aren’t exactly the picture-perfect marriages they might look like from the outside. The telenovela follows three women and three marriages, exploring what happens after the wedding when love, money, secrets, resentment, forgiveness and identity start putting those relationships to the test. At the c
Whose number do you have, and how much do you want for it?
Imagine scrolling through your phone and realising you have the personal number of someone famous. Not their publicist, not their agent, their actual number. That’s the conversation doing the rounds after reports that Meghan Markle’s mobile number was allegedly leaked and shared among parents in a WhatsApp group connected to the school her children briefly attended. And it got us think

Mrs van Staden does not want to work on a Saturday for her school's fun day, should she??
We received a voice note from Mrs Van Staden, a teacher at a primary school, who says her school is holding a colour-run fundraiser this Saturday and the teachers are expected to be there. The problem? They’re not being paid for it. And that raises a very real question for teachers: when does your working week actually end? Because teaching isn’t necessarily a “bell rings at 2pm,

What is the greatest television theme song of all time?
There are some television theme songs that were so good, you didn’t just hear them you knew exactly what show was coming before you even saw the screen. The first few seconds were enough to have you running to the TV. Hang out with Anele and The Club on 947 every weekday morning. Popular radio hosts Anele Mdoda, Frankie du Toit, Thembekile Mrototo, and Cindy Poluta take fun to the next
What is something you always have at home because of your job?
Sometimes your job follows you home not because you’re working after hours, but because you’ve somehow accumulated an entire stash of stuff from work! Teachers always seem to have pens and whiteboard markers lying around. Doctors have stethoscopes and gloves. Nurses have hand sanitiser. Chefs have a collection of Tupperware and takeaway containers. Accountants have calculators, and pho

A little-known tax break that could save your small business
From 1 April 2026, qualifying micro businesses with annual turnover of up to R2.3 million can opt into the system. The first R600,000 of turnover is taxed at 0%, meaning a qualifying business can make up to R600,000 in turnover without paying Turnover Tax on that amount. And it works differently from normal income tax: instead of taxing your profit, Turnover Tax is calculated on your turnover esse
Do you tell someone their dog died while they’re on holiday?
Thabile interrupted our regular programming this morning with a heartbreaking dilemma. She’s looking after a family’s 17-year-old dog, Lucy, while they’re on holiday only to wake up and find that Lucy has passed away. Now she’s stuck with the difficult question: does she tell the family immediately and risk ruining their holiday, or wait until they’re back and break t

Masked Singer Season 3: Brenden Praise unmasked as the Pineapple
Pineapple consistently delivered some of the biggest performances on The Masked Singer South Africa, leaving the Super Detectives guessing about the identity behind the mask. While J’Something, Somizi and Sithelo Shozi all mentioned Brenden Praise’s name at different points, it was Sithelo who ultimately got it right. After performing songs across pop, R&B, EDM and amapiano, P
Koki is waiting for a call to become head girl: What call are you waiting for?
There’s always that one call you’re waiting for the one where you keep checking your phone because you KNOW someone is supposed to call you. Maybe it’s the call after a job interview or audition. Maybe you’re waiting for someone to confirm something. Maybe it’s a family member with news, someone you’ve been dating, or even a friend who said, “I’ll ca
Would you want to go back to a company if they’ve fired you or taken you to CCMA?
A recent Labour Court judgment has raised an interesting question about returning to a workplace after a serious dispute with your employer. The case involves former NSFAS budget accountant Zenobia Abrahams, who was dismissed after forwarding nine confidential work emails to her personal Gmail account. A CCMA commissioner later found her dismissal substantively unfair and ordered NSFAS to reinstat
Would you leave your home if your neighbourhood became a nightlife hotspot?
Residents in Durban’s Berea say weekend nightlife has become a serious problem, with excessive noise, traffic, overcrowding, litter and partygoers spilling into the surrounding residential streets. One resident, who has lived in the area for more than 15 years, says the disruption has become so bad that she is now considering selling her home and leaving the area. Ward 33 councillor Fra
Have you ever appeared in a commercial?
We’ve all seen those adverts where you suddenly spot someone who looks familiar and then you realise, wait… is that someone I know?! But have you ever appeared in a commercial? Maybe you had a speaking role, were one of the people in the background, or somehow landed yourself in a big TV advert. Or perhaps it wasn’t you maybe your house, car, shop or street was featured in a com
What’s the saving tip that someone swears by, but you don’t believe?
We all have that one person who is constantly trying to save electricity, water or money switching things off, reusing things and following little rules they swear make a difference. But sometimes, when you actually think about these “saving tips”, they don’t make much sense. You might be saving electricity by doing one thing, while using more water or energy somewhere else.
