Dan chats with Dr Michelle Groome, Head of the Division of Public Health Surveillance and Response at the NICD.

Marli & Matty both famously don't care much for sport, but if Bafana Bafana qualify for the Soccer World Cup they might have to.

Last night WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram went down for 6 hours without warning.
