Local, interesting and succinct

A great, time-efficient way of keeping abreast with South African news and issues, hosted by a top local journalist. Keeps it simple and interesting.

Flicycle ,

Too many ads

Top and tail with adverts that are repetitive and boring. Pity as the interviews are generally good.
