MFM 92.6 - Move to the Music

🎧 MISSED THE INTERVIEW? THE PODCAST IS UP 🎧

Student success is everyone's business – and this week on Lunch Club with Dylan Arendse, Jacolette Kloppers asked five guests what actually happens to your module feedback after you click submit. 🐿️🎓

In studio: the Programme Manager for Student Access and Success at , the Higher Education Adviser who runs the institutional feedback system, associate professors from Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering and from Psychology, and the outgoing chairperson of the Academic Affairs Council. 👥

This was the eighth of 15 conversations in our Student Success Series. 🔎

In this episode we discuss:
📋 The path from a completed survey to an actual change in a classroom – and how anyone knows whether that change worked.
😮‍💨 Feedback fatigue, and what happens to the quality of your answers when you are filling in surveys for 10 to 15 lecturers in one semester.
🔁 Closing the loop: one lecturer tells every new cohort what the previous group raised, and what changed because of it.
💬 Why WhatsApp groups and corridor conversations often carry more honest feedback than the official forms.
🤝 Moving students from evaluators to partners – designing solutions alongside staff, not being consulted afterwards.

Student satisfaction is not the same thing as teaching quality. This episode unpacks the difference. 💛

Almost time for our favourite show!

We are still thinking about our heritage as a people — the stories we carry, the cultures that have shaped us, and the ideas about who we are that are passed from one generation to the next.

Masculinity is deeply woven into our social lives: what it teaches us about being men, what it asks of men, what it takes from them, and the places where some of these expectations have gone wrong.

This week on SiyakhulaLive, we are joined by marketing consultant and creative Thabo Maseko, the mind behind Letters to Masculinity — an emerging body of work creating space for conversation, reflection and healing around masculinity.

As we look ahead to Mental Health Awareness Month in October, we are also thinking about the relationship between masculinity and our mental and emotional wellbeing — and what becomes possible when we create more space for vulnerability, tenderness, honest conversation and healing.

📖 READING, WRITING, AND WHY BOTH DECIDE YOUR MARKS 📖

Most of your learning does not happen in a lecture hall. It happens when you read. So what happens when reading is the first thing to lose out to your phone? Tomorrow (17 September 2026) at 11:00, we get into it. 🐿️🎓

Joining Matthew Gray on AM2PM are two guests from SU Language Centre at Stellenbosch University: the coordinator of the Reading Lab and the Coordinator of Writing Lab Workshops. Jacolette Kloppers leads the conversation. 👥

This is episode 9 of our Student Success Series – 15 conversations about the support that already exists around you, and how to reach it. All previous episodes are up as podcasts. 🎧

In tomorrow's conversation:

📱 Whether reading can still compete with social media and digital entertainment, and whether South Africa has a reading culture problem
✍️ How note-taking and asking questions while you read actually improve what you understand and retain
🤖 Why engaging with the source text still matters in an age of AI
🎓 Writing Lab workshops for postgrads – journal articles, literature reviews, research proposals, theses and dissertations, academic arguments, and writing marathons
🫂 What reading does beyond your marks: perspective, empathy, and growth

Thabo Maseko takes Letters to Masculinity onto SiyakhulaLive – what heritage teaches men about who they should be. 🇿🇦

We are still thinking about heritage this month: the stories we carry, the cultures that have shaped us, and the ideas about who we are that get passed from one generation to the next. 🕊️

Tomorrow on SiyakhulaLive, we turn to masculinity – what it teaches men, what it asks of them, what it takes from them, and the places where those expectations have gone wrong. 🏛️

We are joined by Thabo Maseko, marketing consultant and creative, and the mind behind Letters to Masculinity, an emerging body of work making space for conversation, reflection and healing around masculinity. 🎓

As we look ahead to Mental Health Awareness Month in October, we are also asking what masculinity does to our mental and emotional well-being, and what becomes possible when there is more room for vulnerability, tenderness and honest conversation. 💬

This conversation is for you if you have wondered:
🎤 Who decided what a man is allowed to feel, and why do so many of us still listen?
🎤 What did the men who raised you never get to say out loud?
🎤 Can tenderness be inherited the same way silence is?

Tell us the first thing you were taught a man does not do – drop it in the comments or send it to us on WhatsApp during the show. 📢

What is SiyakhulaLive? 📻
An award-winning talk show where South Africa's most urgent conversations come alive 🎓

🚨 ORNICA BELLZ ON THE LIFT CLUB 🚨

Tomorrow on The Lift Club, are joined by Durban vocalist, dancer and choreographer Ornica Bellz (), fresh off the release of her new single Inkomishi with and . 🐿️

Inkomishi translates as cup, but the phrase Zaphambana Inkomishi is about the moment everything turns upside down. The song follows a man chasing a woman who turns out to be interested in his friend instead, and Ornica and Zee turn that small disaster into a floor-filler. 🐿️

What we are getting into: 🎤 Mthatha to Durban, and the church choir that accidentally started a career ✈️ The R6 500 gamble that got Inkomishi made 💄 Music, movement and makeup, and how she keeps all three running at once

📊 The BER retail survey is out, and retailers' confidence is back at its long-term average 📊

Retail confidence has climbed to 40%, putting it in line with the long-term average. But the trade sector is not moving as one: while retailers are steadier, new vehicle dealers recorded the sharpest drop in confidence of any sector in the latest RMB/BER business confidence index. 🐿️

Tonight on The Daily Vibe, .e_nathan sits down with Nomvelo Moima, junior economist at at , to unpack what the third quarter numbers say about how South Africans are spending.

We're getting answers to:
👉 Back to average: what lifted retailer confidence to 40%, and how much that milestone really means.
👉 Still lagging: the parts of the trade sector yet to recover, with fuel prices sitting higher than they were at the start of the year.
👉 Beyond retail: what the same survey found in wholesale and the motor trade.
👉 New vehicle dealers: why this sector posted the biggest confidence decline of them all, and what businesses expect for the rest of 2026.

We're getting into:
🍛 A quick introduction to KOS, and what each consultant actually does on the team
🤝 Why they joined Phaphama SEDI in the first place
🚀 What it has been like working with Tsundzuka and David, and what the founders have taught them about the business

STELLIES, let's get cooking! 🔥

It is Tuesday, 15 September, and is back for another essential edition of Expert Express, this time on braai sides in Stellenbosch that earn their place on the table. 🐿️

Note the change: Heleen joins us at 15:00 this week only, not the usual 15:15. 🕒

Side dishes are so often a side thought. You plan the meat for days, then panic-buy a bag of rolls and a tub of coleslaw on the way to the braai. Heleen is here to fix that. 🐿️

On the Menu Today: Healthier braai sides 🥗

From the salad that does not wilt in the sun to the veggie skewers that quietly steal the show, this is a full rethink of everything that goes next to the meat. 💡

We'll be chatting about:
🍽️ Planning the table: How to think about sides before the fire is even lit, so nothing gets thrown together at the last minute.
🥗 Lighter and fresher: Small swaps that make salads and sides healthier without making them boring.
🌽 Beyond the pap: What else can carry a braai plate when pap is off the menu.
🍢 Veggie skewers: Heleen walks us through exactly how she makes them, step by step.
