Johannesburg, 28 January 2026 | Jacaranda FM‘s Good Morning Angels initiative has successfully raised over R4 million in assistance for flood-stricken communities in Limpopo and Mpumalanga, which form a significant part of Jacaranda FM’s broadcast footprint spanning four provinces. This follows a devastating week of torrential rains that claimed at least 37 lives and displaced thousands.

The floods have caused widespread destruction, with overflowing rivers, collapsed bridges, and damaged infrastructure, leaving large areas without water, electricity or access to essential supplies. Both provinces were declared disaster areas by the South African government, with damage estimates in the billions.

According to disaster relief organisation Gift of the Givers, the immediate needs on the ground included bottled water, non-perishable food, baby formula and nappies, toiletries and basic essentials. Seeing the desperate need for assistance, Jacaranda FM’s Good Morning Angels initiative launched Project Flood Relief, an urgent on-air and digital campaign calling on listeners, corporates and advertisers to help communities severely impacted by flooding across the two provinces.

The response was immediate and overwhelming, with over R4 million in assistance collected over 5 days. This includes over R1 million in monetary donations, alongside more than 60 tonnes of bottled water, eight tonnes of canned goods, five tonnes of dried goods, four tonnes of baby supplies, four tonnes of toiletries, and 10 tonnes of dog food. Menlyn Park shopping centre was one of the first donors, pledging a whopping R 250 000 cash and opening its centre courts to receive donations from Pretoria shoppers, over the weekend.

All items have been handed over to Gift of the Givers, who have started sorting and distributing the donations to affected communities.

“When we saw how badly hit the Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces were by the recent floods, knowing how important these provinces are for us as a radio station and having hundreds of thousands of listeners there, we had to step in,” says Martin Bester, host of Jacaranda FM’s Breakfast With Martin Bester. “We noticed that there weren’t many people coming up with solutions to help, so we knew we needed to do something.”

Bester adds that the Jacaranda FM community once again showed just how willing they are to step in during times of need. “The response from our listeners was immediate and without question. The needs were basic, so many people could get involved, whether one bottle of water or litres and litres. Our listeners stepped in right away,” he says. “On Breakfast With Martin Bester last week, a child donated the R20 he earned from the tooth fairy, and the call immediately after was a large corporate donation of R200,000. Everybody could do something, which made this even more special. When it comes to Good Morning Angels and our Jacaranda FM listeners, their generosity knows no bounds.”

Vuyani Dombo, Managing Director at Jacaranda FM, says the campaign reflects the station’s commitment to making a tangible difference in the communities it serves, forming a core part of the station’s identity as South Africa’s No.1 Feel Good Station. “Limpopo and Mpumalanga form a vital part of our broadcast footprint, and when our listeners are hurting, we feel a responsibility to act,” says Dombo. “Project Flood Relief showed what’s possible when a community comes together with purpose. Raising over R4 million in assistance in such a short space of time is an incredible achievement, and it will make a real difference to families who have lost everything. Good Morning Angels exists for moments like this, to turn compassion into action and help change lives. We’re deeply grateful to everyone who donated and to Gift of the Givers for ensuring aid reaches those who need it most. Together, we’ve made a real difference.”

Through initiatives like Good Morning Angels, which celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2025, Jacaranda FM continues to play a meaningful role beyond entertainment, using its platform to mobilise compassion, action and hope during times of crisis.

Jacaranda FM thanks every listener, advertiser and partner who contributed to Project Flood Relief and helped restore dignity and essential support to communities affected by the floods.

To further celebrate the release of their new sophomore album, Love & Legehness, Van Pletzen have released the Behind The Scenes footage of the making of the music video for their latest single, Dronk op Liefde. Released on 31 March 2020, the video already has close to 200 000 views.

Another collaboration with Early B, a true master of legehness, Dronk op Liefde is the 6th time Van Pletzen and Early B have worked together on an official release and they hope to do so a lot more in the future! Dronk op Liefde was written in late 2019 with liefde as inspirasie and how being in love is sort of like being a bit dronk – you make strange decisions and sometimes act like a dom fool. Dronk op Liefde is another kak original and kakgroot offering from Van Pletzen, which everyone needs to go luister.

Their music video for Jy Bly Stil is about to hit a million views on Youtube, which is a big milestone for the band! Talking about milestones, the band is excited to announce a kakgroot collaboration with Francois van Coke which will be released in August this year.  They promise that the song will be an epic one that will be at least 5 minutes long and that it will have a bunch of guitar solos and that it will not be suitable for radio because it will be too kakmal, so be sure to kyk uit for the grootness!

Van Pletzen dropped their second album, a groot 15 track epic of bangers and ballads on 3 April 2020. Showing a deeper side to listeners, they explore all corners of the Legehness! Whether it is on the dance floor or while making sweet and beautiful love, this album has got you covered! Brace yourself for a serious dose of Love & Legehness in the form of 15 new songs ranging from serious club bangers to deeply intimate and sensual ballads about the complexities of liefde! Afrikaans has never sounded groter or sexier!

With lyrics such as “There is no race, only mense, there is no taal… only mengels”, Van Pletzen creates a world without rules and limitations where the only race is mense and the only taal is mengels, a legeh mixture of Engels and Afrikaans and whatever else you need to druk yourself uit! A wêreld where legehness and liefde dominates. This is the soundtrack to navigate your dreams to!

Now is the time for the grootness, now is the time for the legehness, now is the time to follow your drome, now is the time to become gereed for Love & Legehness!

Nu Metro Cinemas has joined hands with the Four Paws Animal Welfare Foundation to Rise Up and Roar for one of the 21^st century’s most important conservation causes. From 1 July 2019, Nu Metro moviegoers can conveniently donate R5 as part of their movie ticket purchases online and in-cinema to raise funds aimed at saving South Africa’s lions.

“Nu Metro’s decision to partner with Four Paws lies close to our hearts. As their conservation efforts rely solely on donations, we want to play a constructive role in creating a better world for our big cats. FOUR PAWS is a global organization which has been doing inspiring work locally for the past few decades, specifically related to the protection of lions. We are proud to be a fundraising partner through our entertainment experiences for this very important cause relevant to all human beings. A R5 donation per movie ticket purchase is all we ask from our customers – if you care, as much as we do, about the future of our animals and environment in Southern Africa,” says Chantelle Burrows, Nu Metro Cinemas: Marketing & Content Executive.

“As an organisation we are delighted to form a partnership with the Nu Metro group in raising funds, but also awareness of the work we’re doing in South Africa. By affording us this great opportunity and accepting our proposal, FOUR PAWS will be able to highlight the incredible work that goes into rescuing abused big cats and to rehabilitate them to the glorious animals they were meant to be,” states Fiona Miles, FOUR PAWS director (South Africa).

Ms Miles continues to explain that “not only the big cats of the LIONSROCK sanctuary will benefit financially through the donations of generous moviegoers, but it will also highlight the plight of the lions in South Africa. We hope through this partnership our education drive will raise more awareness about the status of these majestic animals and that people will help us to give them the ultimate protection and finally restore the roar of the lion.”

With over 100 big cats in the care of Four Paws at Lionsrock, they constantly look at ways to ensure the longevity of this project through donation-support. These big cats consume almost 3,500kg meat per week, regular vet checks are done, maintenance to security and enclosures are done and further development of the sanctuary must be done in order to accommodate rescued animals.

“We believe this partnership will be beneficial for LIONSROCK on a long-term basis and ensure that these animals get the continuous, high quality care they need. It’s encouraging that the Nu Metro group has decided to open its vast network of cinemas to our organisation with the aim of raising funds and awareness. It shows an organisation that is forward thinking and open to give back to something they believe in,” concludes Ms Miles.

Nu Metro’s website and self-service terminals in all their cinemas nationwide will have a special button on-screen for donations to be added for FOUR PAWS as part of customers’ movie ticket purchases.

The television adaptation of internationally acclaimed author Deon Meyer’s crime novel Trackers marks the beginning of a new era in high-end African storytelling. Pan-African television network M-Net and two global broadcasting giants are joining forces to take this uniquely South African political thriller to the world.  First, as announced in December 2018, M-Net sealed a groundbreaking collaboration deal with Germany’s public broadcaster ZDF. Now, M-Net can confirm that Trackers is also being co-produced by Cinemax, which will also distribute the drama series worldwide beyond M-Net and ZDF’s geographical broadcasting footprint.

“The trailblazing and massively exciting co-production of Trackers illustrates M–Net’s vision and commitment to shine the spotlight on the African film and television industry and provide fresh, proudly African narratives to our viewers as well as global audiences,” says MultiChoice CEO of General Entertainment, Yolisa Phahle. “It is also taking our longstanding relationship with Cinemax to the next level, allowing local and international talent to combine their world-class story-telling and production skills.”

While M-Net is already the home of Cinemax and its sister network HBO, allowing viewers to enjoy showstoppers like Game of Thrones, Big Little Lies, Westworld and many more, HBO, Cinemax and M-Net also launched an innovative Producers Apprenticeship programme last year when the Cinemax series Warrior, coming to M-Net in July, was filmed in South Africa. Some other Cinemax originals screened on M-Net include Banshee, The Knick and Strike Back. 

Filming for Trackers has already started in exotic locations spanning the length and breadth of South Africa and the co-production partners have been working together on all aspects of production – from developing and casting, to assembling the crew and approving the final content.

Master wordsmith Deon Meyer, whose multiple-award-winning crime novels have been translated into more than 20 languages, with millions of copies sold worldwide, serves as a supervising screenwriter and co-producer; British writer Robert Thorogood (Death in Paradise) is the showrunner. The team of South African writers on the project includes the accomplished Mitchell’s Plain playwright, screenwriter and director Amy Jephta (Die Ellen Pakkies Story) as well as local writer/directors Kelsey Egen and Jozua Malherbe.

A talented local and international cast is on the bill for the six-part miniseries, some of which include Ed Stoppard, Rolanda Marais, James Alexander and Thapelo Mokoena. More details about their roles and additional credits will be announced at a later stage.

Trackers will make its debut on M-Net 101 in October 2019 and will also be available on MultiChoice’s popular on-demand service, Showmax. The six-part drama series is produced by UK Production Company Three River Studios as well as South Africa’s Scene 23.

In partnership with HBO, M-Net, the South African National Blood Service (SANBS) and the Western Cape Blood Service (WPBS), the broadcaster is inviting all Johannesburg and Cape Town fans to prove their devotion and Bleed for the Throne. In a gesture worthy of one of the biggest shows on television, this event is designed to harness the cultural power of Westeros to help end blood shortages in the real world.

Donating blood during this time also means that fans will receive an exclusive Bleed For The Throne t-shirt (while supplies last). This impactful initiative will bring together fans from the global Game of Thrones community including Norway, Sweden, Kenya, Ghana, Botswana, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece and Croatia, so be sure to join in on this excellent cause.

The eighth and final season of Game of Thrones premieres on Monday April 15, Express from the US at 03:00 and in Prime Time on the same day at 22:00 on M-Net 101 on DStv.

Additionally, in honour of the epic finale, M-Net will also be hosting GOT fans for the season’s premiere episode at 03:00, where they’ll have an opportunity to dress up as their favourite characters. M-Net will announce venues for this screening via promos on M-Net channel 101, on M-Net’s Twitter/Facebook pages and to the media at a later stage.

Big Concerts has announced that Carlo Bernini, Maria Aleida, Beverley Knight and Anastasiya Petryshak will be joining Andrea Bocelli for his Sold Out South African tour.

Carlo Bernini earned the title of Conductor in 1999 at Livorno Conservatoire, under the guidance of Maestro Lorenzo Paris. Since 1986 Maestro Bernini has been Andrea Bocelli’s friend and artistic director. Bernini and Bocelli have worked together doing concerts, operas, classical recordings and have collaborated with record companies alongside the greatest conductors, such as Z. Mehta, L. Maazel, G. Sinopoli

Cuban Soprano Maria Aleida started her musical studies at the Vicente Emilio Sojo Conservatory in Venezuela in 1999. She currently studies with voice teacher Bill Schuman. She won the Montserrat Caballe international voice competition in Zaragoza (2008), the Mario Lanza Institute in Philadelphia (2009). She is a resident artist at The Academy of Vocal Arts in Philadelphia. In 2016/17 she joined Andrea Bocelli as soloist in concert in such venues as Florence, Lisbon and Panama. In 2017 she joined a series of concerts with Andrea Bocelli in such venues as Tashkent, Graz, Linz, Marbella, Amsterdam, Kaunas, Riga, Krakow, Bratislava and Budapest.

Pop Guest Beverley Knight has been one of the UK’s most consistent artists for two decades, scoring several Top 10 albums, including the platinum selling Voice: The Best of Beverley Knight. She has sold over a million albums in the UK along the way, including four gold certified albums. Her latest album ‘Soulsville’ was released in June 2016 and went straight into the UK Top 10. She has collaborated on stage and on record with the likes of Prince, Jamiroquai, Bryan Adams, Carlos Santana, Andrea Bocelli, Jamie Cullum, Joss Stone, Take That and Chaka Kahn.

Violinist, Anstasiya Petryshak began performing at the age of 8 participating and winning numerous important national and international competitions under the direction of Marta Kalynchuk. In 2005 she moved to Italy to continue her violin studies, later becoming, at the age of just fifteen, the youngest violinist in the high specialization violin course held by Maestro Salvatore Accardo at the “Walter Stauffer” International Academy in Cremona and at the Chigiana Academy in Siena. Since 2010 she has been working regularly as a soloist and in duets with Andrea Bocelli, joining him in many concerts to great public and critical acclaim.

Andrea Bocelli has recorded 15 solo studio albums of both pop and classical music, three greatest hits albums and nine complete opera. For his latest release ‘Si’, Andrea Bocelli has teamed up with some of the hottest musical stars on the planet – reuniting with his friend Ed Sheeran after their chart-topping ‘Perfect Symphony’ on a brand new song called ‘Amo Soltanto Te’ (written by Ed with lyrics by Tiziano Ferro) and joining with pop sensation Dua Lipa on the single ‘If Only’. Crossover superstar Josh Groban and classical soprano Aida Garifullina also duet with Bocelli on the record,. It is his first album of new material in 14 years – 16 brand new songs which celebrate love, family, faith and hope.

Drawing millions in with his popular crossover appeal, Bocelli has collaborated with a host of A-list pop stars including Céline Dion, Tony Bennett, Ed Sheeran, Ariana Grande, Jennifer Lopez, Nicole Scherzinger, and many more. He also wowed UK football fans with a performance for Claudio Ranieri’s Premier League-winning Leicester City at the King Power Stadium in 2016. Bocelli continues to tour the world with major shows in the US, Germany, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Canada, Ireland the UK and now South Africa, where fans will have the opportunity to hear his new music.

Andrea Bocelli is proud to return to South Africa where he will be performing with a full 140-piece symphony orchestra and choir.

It’s all over the M-Net channels, and petals are falling much more noticeably, introducing that Channel 101 will be bringing viewers the local version of the immensely successful international reality dating show franchise, The Bachelor.  M-Net also revealed that local heartthrob, former Sharks rugby player, international model and business owner, Lee Thompson, would be the lucky man vying for the hearts of 24 beautiful and accomplished South African ladies from different backgrounds.

The secret about the host is also out, and some may say he is more attractive than the Bachelor himself. Popular presenter Jason Greer will be at Lee’s side as the host of the very first season of The Bachelor South Africa, when the show kicks off on a romantic note on Valentine’s Day in 2019. Well-respected in the industry, Jason has presented a number of successful shows, including M-Net’s award-winning All Access and the popular game show Spellbound. Jason is also the narrator on M-Net’s wedding show, The Wedding Bashers.

Jason says to have been selected as the host for the local version of the most successful internationally recognised reality dating show is an incredible honour, adding that he is excited for the show and looks forward to sharing this journey with the rest of South Africa.

During his role as host on The Bachelor SA, Jason will be facilitating the iconic rose ceremonies where he will arrive at the most crucial moments of the elimination ceremonies. In addition to his hosting duties, Jason will also serve as the mentor figure to Lee throughout his Bachelor journey.

M-Net explained that Jason is an industry professional and his warmth, kindness, charisma, and sincerity will stand him in good stead as the host. He is also a mature family man and perfect wingman for SA’s The Bachelor.

Jason Greer has been involved in the South African entertainment industry for over 15 years, having started as a master of ceremonies. It was during his time in the television industry that he flourished and realised that he had a flair for hosting. He went on to host a number of hit locally produced shows that opened the door to his acting career. Jason’s presenting, acting and MC work is in high demand. He has also appeared in numerous TV commercials and corporate videos and is a voice-over artist across a variety of media.

The 24 ladies with a burning desire to find love on The Bachelor SA have yet to be announced.  The Bachelor SA will be screened on M-Net from Valentine’s Day, 14 February 2019.

Fans follow all the breaking news and conversations around the show on Twitter @MNet / #TheBachelorSA and on the official M-Net Facebook page.
