Stacey & J Sbu

Earlier this week, we celebrated Singles Day by putting KZN’s singletons on the spot: you have just 10 seconds to convince someone you’re worth a date. No long dating profiles. No carefully curated bios. Just your best qualities, biggest selling points and maybe a red flag conveniently left out. Stacey and J Sbu opened the Singles Hotline and let KZN advertise themselves. Would any of these 10-sec...

“My boyfriend thinks I fall asleep really early every night. I don’t. I pretend to be asleep because once I say I’m going to bed, he suddenly wants to have his deepest conversations. He’ll start asking things like, ‘Where do you see us in five years?’ or telling me a 20-minute story about something that happened at work. So now I say goodnight, turn over and pretend I’m asleep. The problem is, I’v...

On Monday, we shared the achievements we’re proud of from this year. The small ones that nobody really pays attention to. It could be something you’ve worked towards for years, or something that looks small to everyone else but you know exactly what it took. A new job, a qualification, a business milestone, a family goal or a personal breakthrough.

Last week, Stacey and J Sbu received a call from Clare who informed them that washing chicken in the sink isn't as great as we would think.

Stacey and J Sbu asked KZN for the best piece of advice they’d ever received in just one sentence and listeners came through with the words of wisdom that had stuck with them over the years.

Anonymous from Dolphin Coast asked for advice after telling her boyfriend, who had already forgiven her for cheating, that she thought he and the other guy would've actually been good friends.
