Anele and the Club on 947

Getting older is a funny thing because you don’t notice the changes happening until one day you realise… “wait, when did this happen?” What was the first thing you noticed wasn’t quite what it used to be as you got older? Hang out with Anele and The Club on 947 every weekday morning. Popular radio hosts Anele Mdoda, Frankie du Toit, Thembekile Mrototo, and Cindy...

I don’t know what it is, but I’m honestly over this girl. Every time we’re together, whether we’re out or just hanging out, she refuses to take pictures with me. And we’re friends! I’m like, we both look good, the outfit is working, the scent is scenting… why are we wasting this moment? At this point she can just stay home because I’m tired of beggi...

Exams are here, and every household seems to have its own set of rules! Maybe the TV gets switched off, visitors are banned, and everyone suddenly has to whisper. Maybe your parents treated exam time like a military operation with study schedules stuck to the fridge. Or maybe nothing changed at all and it was business as usual. What was the exam routine in your house growing up? Did your fami...

The Kenyan national football team, the Harambee Stars, arrived in South Africa this week for their friendly matches against Lesotho... and immediately found themselves in a financial own goal. Reports say the team rejected the first hotel that had been booked for them because they felt it wasn't up to national team standards. So they moved to a different hotel... only to discover there was one sma...

Some house rules never leave you. Maybe you still can't sit on a made bed because your mom would lose her mind. Maybe you panic when a light is left on in an empty room, refuse to wear shoes inside the house, or feel guilty eating before everyone else has been served. So tell us: What was a rule in your childhood home that you still follow to this day? And have you ever caught yourself enforcing t...

We saw a clip on Instagram where a couple hid their pregnancy to surprise their family. Pregnancy announcements have become a big thing on social media, but not everyone shares the news straight away. Some people wait until they're showing, some wait until the baby arrives, and others keep it private for as long as possible. The reasons can be deeply personal. Some parents want to avoid unwanted o...

Last week on Open Line, a caller Lukhanyo from Northriding phoned Anele looking for one thing and one thing only: Tomato Sausage. Not just any sausage. Tomato Sausage which is sold in East London. It got us thinking about those products that simply can't be replaced. You know the ones. People tell you, "Just get something similar," but it's never quite the same. For some people it's a Shamrock Pie...

Some schools read out marks in front of the class to motivate learners, while others believe results should stay private to avoid embarrassment and unnecessary pressure. Does sharing marks encourage healthy competition, or does it do more harm than good? Where do you stand?   Hang out with Anele and The Club on 947 every weekday morning. Popular radio hosts Anele Mdoda, Frankie du Toit, Themb...

Ivan has sparked a debate online after questioning something his wife does whenever she gets a work call in the car. He says they were driving together when his wife's boss phoned. The call automatically connected to the car's Bluetooth, but before the conversation started, his wife immediately told her boss, "Just so you know, you're on speaker and my husband is in the car." The husband says he f...

You leave a job, hand over your laptop, say your goodbyes, and move on. Then, weeks or even months later, your old boss calls with a question only you seem to know the answer to. At first, it might be a quick favour. But what happens when the calls keep coming? At what point does helping out become unpaid work? Some people are happy to assist their former colleagues, especially if they left on goo...

We've all been there. Something breaks around the house. The cupboard door is hanging on for dear life, the tap is leaking, or the light bulb has been dead since Easter. But which is actually worse? A man who can fix things... but never gets around to doing it? Or a man who couldn't fix it even if he wanted to? At least the guy who can't fix anything is honest about it. The other guy keeps saying,...

A woman on TikTok has sparked a heated debate after revealing that she wants her husband to pay for her child from a previous relationship to attend private school. The husband says he's already paying for his own biological child’s private education and believes the child's biological father should be responsible for covering those costs instead. The situation has divided social media. Some...

AI is becoming the new homework buddy for a lot of kids. Need help with a maths problem? Ask AI. Need an essay outline? Ask AI. Need to understand a complicated science topic? AI can explain it in seconds. But is that a good thing? Some people believe AI is helping children learn faster by giving them instant answers, personalized explanations, and access to information that was once difficult to...

TeeBag @tii_bag posted this on X:  " My friends and I spent six months planning and paying for a kid-free trip to Zanzibar. My sister initially declined because she couldn't afford it, but a week before the trip she said she could come, if she brought her two kids because she couldn't find a babysitter. I said no, as the trip and activities were planned specifically for adults. Now she's accu...

It feels like we're paying the same price, but getting less and less every time we shop. A can of Pringles doesn't seem as full as it used to be. Chocolate slabs have lost a few blocks. A packet of chips somehow has more air than chips. And if you've been eating at the same restaurant for years, you've probably noticed some food portions aren't quite as generous as they once were. Lookin...

Most of us have at least one scar that comes with a story. Maybe you were flying down the driveway on your bicycle, tried a daring jump on the playground, ran through a glass door, or had a cooking disaster that went horribly wrong. Getting stitches for the first time is almost a rite of passage and the story is usually far more entertaining years later than it was in the emergency room. Hang out...

Bafana Bafana have finally departed for Mexico. Despite the visa delays causing disruption to Bafana Bafana’s travel plans, the focus remains on the opportunity that lies ahead at the FIFA World Cup. The deputy Sport, Arts and Culture minister has launched a scathing attack on the South African Football Association following a humiliating administrative error that delayed the national t...

Someone on X (Twitter) joked that they’ve been thinking about their “Come Dine With Me” menu with you a bit too often lately and honestly, that’s the perfect conversation starter. So let’s run it: if you were hosting your own “Come Dine With Me” night, what would your menu look like? Starter, main, dessert, are you going fancy and risky, or are you playing...

Police in Springs have confiscated two Nile crocodiles that were allegedly being kept illegally at a residential property for more than two years.   The reptiles, measuring 1.48 metres and 1.7 metres long, were discovered during a raid on Monday led by the Tshwane K9 Unit, Gauteng Department of Environment, the Vereeniging Stock Theft and Endangered Species Unit, the Johannesburg Wildlife Vet...

Moms are usually the caring ones… always checking if you’ve eaten, reminding you to wear a jacket, and somehow knowing you’re sick before you even feel it. But let’s not forget, moms can also switch personalities in 0.2 seconds when the house isn’t clean or you’ve embarrassed them in public. Dads, on the other hand, act like they don’t care… but th...

Angelique Daubermann @the_ lean_girl posted a video on social media asking how you can be a personal trainer if you don't look personally trained? She got a LOT of criticism on social media for this video, so we talked about it!  Hang out with Anele and The Club on 947 every weekday morning. Popular radio hosts Anele Mdoda, Frankie du Toit, Thembekile Mrototo, and Cindy Poluta take fun to the...

Anele and The Club has had so many wild, funny, emotional and unforgettable moments over the years… but we know there are some things we’ve probably forgotten about that YOU still remember perfectly. Offen you will stop us at shops etc and say ‘Remember when you did ....’ Maybe it was a hilarious challenge, an iconic caller, a crazy debate, or just one random moment that l...

Every family has that one activity they treat like it’s completely unacceptable. In some homes, sleeping the whole day is seen as pure laziness. In others, ordering takeout instead of cooking feels like a betrayal to the family name. Some parents hate tattoos, some can’t stand loud music, and some act like closing your bedroom door means you’re hiding government secrets. The funn...
