When Stacey and J Sbu opened the lines for their weekly “Confessions” segment, they could hardly have anticipated the storm that would follow. An anonymous confession landed in their inbox, revealing a tale of workplace sabotage that left both hosts, and their listeners, reeling. The confession, read aloud by Stacey, detailed how the anonymous sender manipulated a colleague’s calendar, causing them to miss a crucial meeting. The result? The colleague was left flustered, received a warning, and ultimately went on stress leave, while the confessor secured a long-coveted promotion. Yet, the victory was hollow, as guilt and regret soon set in.
Listeners opened up with stories of heartbreak, lessons learned and the unexpected ways loss shapes us.

Chris spoke about the diamond that fell out of his mom’s diamond ring. He was around ten years old back then, his determination allowed him to spend 3 hours to search for the diamond which he found! Michelle’s mother’s gift of a gold cluster set was misplaced while Mario left his laptop on top of his car and drove off completely forgetting where it was!

Durban student Keyuren Maharaj, 23, has created CityMenderSA – South Africa’s first free, comprehensive service delivery reporting app. Frustrated by recurring infrastructure issues and a lack of accountability, Keyuren designed a platform where citizens can log, track, and publicly view issues like potholes, leaks, and outages. Each report generates a reference number and is mapped for public transparency, ensuring municipalities can no longer ignore complaints. Currently studying Mechanical Engineering at UKZN, Keyuren combined his technical and leadership skills to build a tool that promotes accountability, encourages civic participation, and has the potential to transform service delivery across KwaZulu-Natal and beyond.

To unpack what this means for parents, employers, and the future, we’re joined by Legal Expert Hope Mboweni of Shepstone and Wylie.
