From a viral Grade 12 pupil selling sweets every morning at a local taxi rank to attend his matric dance to a young Ikeys rugby star who got a shock call-up from Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus, by the end of Tuesday’s discussion with Good News editor Paul Herman in The Lead, we hope to leave you feeling extra inspired and proud to be a South African.
Later in the show, host Graeme Raubenheimer discusses controversial Gauteng tenderpreneur Vusimusi “Cat” Matlala, who abandoned his bid for bail in connection with an alleged failed hit.
