The Sunday Audit 25.08.2026 6:58 ↓

On Friday you had a whole plan. The garage, the gym, the admin, that friend you keep not seeing. It's 4:42 on Sunday and the country confesses what it actually did instead.

The Crumble Song Goes Local 25.08.2026 1:59 ↓

In 2015 a woman sang a song about making crumble on a Casio balanced on an ironing board and walked out with a Golden Buzzer. Eleven years later it still refuses to die, so we gave it a South African rewrite.

The All Blacks are on a full South African tour for the first time in thirty years, and most of you were not even born the last time it happened. So Tom and Mtha ask what you have waited longest for, and whether it was actually worth it once it arrived.
