The Gareth Cliff Show

Gareth Clif kicks off Friday by talking about self sabotage and why people tend to quiet just before achieving success. Leigh-Ann joins the show as her and Gareth talk about the direction that society has moved in with people lacking manners, are schools to blame? And Gareth Soma jumps on the show to talk about ambition and getting yourself into a “higher state” in order to attract success. Gareth also talks about the property market in South Africa

Gareth and Leigh-Ann kick off Friday wondering how we’ve drifted from appreciating rare historical moments in a world obsessed with instant gratification — sparked by Gareth’s recent trip to the Free State. Ben drops in to share his new kombucha-brewing hobby, while Producer James catches strays and is “strongly encouraged” to consider a barista career. And comedy legend Tumi Morake joins the show to unpack finding humour in the chaos of South Africa… and why laughing through the madness might be our greatest survival tool

Gareth, Mash, and Leigh-Ann kick off the morning with a dose of fitness motivation — and the truth about whether breakfast really is the “most important meal of the day” (spoiler: it’s not). Dr Hanan unpacks the psychology of semigration in a society running on low desire. And comedian Gilli Apter joins the show from South Africa to chat about her new comedy run… and the scariest audience moments she’s ever had.

Gareth, Leigh-Ann and Ben kick off Friday with a wild conversation about one of the most disturbing “sports” on the planet: Sniper Tourists. Dr Hanan jumps in as they unpack the pressures of modern life, and how they might spark the ultimate comeback story after the new Charlie Sheen documentary. Monwabisi Thethe and Siya Sangweni pop in to talk art and bubbles for the festive season, and Gabriel Crouse from the IRR wraps things up with a sharp look at the state of the GNU ahead of the G20.

Gareth Cliff and Leigh-Ann Mol kick off their Friday with a deep dive into global headlines — starting with New York’s newly elected Mayor and what his policies could mean for renters. Ben joins the conversation to celebrate Siya Kolisi’s incredible 100th Springbok cap and the legacy he continues to build. Later, the team welcomes Sibusiso “Impi” Kotelo, the man known for rallying South Africans around the world, as he opens up about mental resilience among men. Finally, Sama Sambit steps in to unpack the latest developments in South African politics, including key updates from the Madlanga Commission.
