The school bell rang a little differently at Hoërskool Kempton Park this morning as  Jacaranda FM’s  Feel Good Tour rolled onto the grounds for a feel-good live broadcast as part of the station’s 40th birthday celebrations. The morning was packed with interactive moments, including a special live edition of the fan-favourite Morning Family Quiz, where students had the chance to test their knowledge on-air.

  As South Africa closes Freedom Month, we do more than turn a page on the calendar. We pause to remember a long journey from oppression to democracy, and to ask what freedom means in the daily lives of people across our country today. Freedom Month, anchored by Freedom Day on 27 April, marks the 1994 elections when millions of South Africans of all races voted together for the first time. It honours the courage of those who resisted apartheid, the sacrifices of communities torn apart by forced removals, and the leadership of women, youth, workers and elders who insisted that a different South Africa was possible. Their struggle secured not only political rights but also a vision of a society rooted in dignity, equality and social justice. More than three decades later, we celebrate real progress: a democratic Constitution admired worldwide, institutions that protect human rights, expanded access to basic services, and the visible presence of Black South Africans in spaces onc...

South Africa has lost one of its most cherished figures in entertainment and pageantry. Veteran actress Cynthia Philisiwe Shange passed away peacefully on April 20, 2026, at the age of 76 in a KwaZulu-Natal hospital following a brief illness. Her daughter, media personality Nonhle Thema, shared the heartbreaking news via social media, asking for prayers during this difficult time. Shange's death marks the end of an era, leaving behind a legacy of resilience, elegance, and groundbreaking achievements that broke racial barriers during apartheid and inspired generations. Born in the vibrant cultural hub of Durban, Cynthia Shange grew up in a time when opportunities for Black South Africans in mainstream beauty and entertainment were severely limited. Defying the odds, she entered the world of pageantry in the early 1970s and made history as the first Black winner of Miss Africa South in 1972. Representing her country at the Miss World competition in London that same year, Shange capti...
