Wilko's Messages of Hope

In this special panel discussion, Rob Hersov, Sama Sambit, Kuhle Maseko, and Renaldo Gouws get real about their journeys into podcasting and why it’s the future of South African media. Renaldo, a former MP, shares how he now has a "bigger impact" with 1.9 million listeners than he did in Parliament. The panel agrees that podcasting provides a platform for "gospel truth" that legacy media, which is "hated" for "shov[ing] information down [your] throat," can't deliver. They encourage aspiring podcasters to join the TruthPodcasterSearch competition, advising them to "be authentic" , "bring your personality out" , and "just press record". The discussion reveals how a passion project can become a full-time career and a powerful force for change. Watch the video to learn more...

  In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to become wrapped up in our personal lives. We chase deadlines, care for our families, and keep up with our own responsibilities. However, we often overlook a vital aspect: the importance of getting involved in our communities. A community is more than just a collection of houses, streets, and shops. It is the heartbeat of shared life. The place where people can support, inspire, and uplift one another. When we choose to get involved, we are stronger, healthier, and more connected. Why Community Involvement Matters Stronger Connections Getting involved brings people together. We build trust and create friendships. Whether through volunteering, attending local events, or simply knowing your neighbours, Shared Responsibility Communities thrive when people contribute their time, skills, and energy. When we take part in local projects like cleaning up a park, supporting a school, or helping a charity drive. We realise that we are not consumers ...

In a country drowning in corruption, broken infrastructure, and economic freefall, Rob Hersov is the first white man in 30 years post-apartheid with the guts to stand up and say: “ANC, VOETSEK!”   This is The Truth About Rob – billionaire businessman, outspoken patriot, and the founder of The Truth Report.  A movement cutting through the boot-licking of mainstream media and pushing a new vision.  A South Africa of hope, change, democracy, and good governance. Hersov calls a spade a spade, ripping into Nelson Mandela’s ANC and exposing how it has dragged the country into decline.  He risks fortune, power, and reputation to say what millions are whispering: Enough is Enough. This is not politics as usual. It’s gutsy, it’s provocative, it’s honest.  And it might just be the spark that lights the fire for change. Watch now and decide for yourself. Is Rob Hersov the voice South Africa has been waiting for?

Authenticity is one of the most valuable traits a person can cultivate. We live in a world where appearances often matter more than truth. Where fitting in is prized above standing out. And where being honest with yourself can feel risky. That’s why the old saying rings true: “You can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs.” When you choose to be authentic, you’re making a choice. To live in alignment with your true values, beliefs, and identity. This often means you stop pretending to be someone you’re not to please others. And that shift can cause ripples. Some friends may drift away, uncomfortable with the changes in you. Even family members may struggle to accept a version of you that doesn’t fit the role they expected you to play. It’s not easy to lose relationships, especially ones you’ve valued. But the truth is that if someone can’t accept the real you, their version of you isn’t honest . By being authentic, you create space for genuine, supportive, and respectful rela...
