If the week’s headlines felt like a soap opera, don’t stress — Butler’s here to help you laugh, sigh, and shake your head with the rest of the country. We sift real, verified news and deliver it with personality: a little satire, a little truth, and a whole lot of “yoh, only in SA.” Grab your tea, take a deep breath, and tune in. Mzansi’s news never sleeps… it just naps with one eye open.

  1. A Fire on the Carpet, and Other Ways We Cope

    A Fire on the Carpet, and Other Ways We Cope

    From global chaos to local contradictions, it’s a look at how the world keeps spinning while we’re still standing in the kitchen waiting for leftovers to warm up. There’s frustration, irony, and the uniquely South African ability to find humour, resilience, and even a braai where you least expect it. It’s not a summary of the news — it’s how it feels to live inside it.

    Threatening to annex Greenland like he’s trying to buy a plot in Sandton

    So yeah... the world is messy. Switzerland is slipping up, Gaza is breaking hearts, and Venezuela is a waiting game. But here? We’ve got kids getting their funding, we’ve got rugby at Loftus, and we’ve got a Netflix monster coming to a theme park that probably has more thrills than the actual show.

    From World War Stress to Pothole Politics

    Haibo. This week’s news came in hot — like a taxi cutting across three lanes in the rain. From Trump throwing international threats like braai tongs, China flexing near Taiwan, and the world nervously “monitoring the situation”… to Mzansi reminding us that we produce premium-grade drama all on our own. We talk global tensions, local road chaos, building collapses, internet obsessions, and that familiar feeling of just wanting to drink your Rooibos in peace. This is real news, real reporting, and very real South African humour.

    Flooded roads in KZN, imaginary bonuses being spent on tyres, police investigating police, America playing Battleship in the ocean, and the internet screaming over Thai dramas.

    It’s heavy. It’s funny. It’s confusing. So I sat down, sighed deeply, and broke it all down — Butler style. No shouting headlines. Just real talk, sharp humour, and that tired-but-still-standing Mzansi energy. Subscribe, bru. Butler drops the news like taxis drop insults.
