Stacey and J Sbu attempted to call the East Coast Radio Fugitive but someone named JP answered.

As if...

The Fugitive has been watching a little too closely. He knew exactly what Stacey and J Sbu were wearing today, from Stacey's leopard print and red boots to J Sbu's all-black tracksuit.

From 6 am on Wednesday, 30 Se...

The cost of living is getting REAL. Fuel is up, groceries are up, and somehow our salaries didn’t get the memo! J Sbu asked KZN: What have you been forced to cut from your budget just to survive?
