Description

Amy Maciver speaks to Vally Padayachee — power and energy expert, a former executive manager at Eskom, and former senior executive at City Power Johannesburg — to help unpack what NERSA’S market inquiry means for ordinary South Africans and the future of our electricity sector.

Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. 

A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30 pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions. Another firm favourite is the humorous Thursday crossing with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis, called “Plan B”.
