From SA to the USA: Chané B's International Music Breakthrough
In this inspiring interview, South African artist Chané (now known professionally as Chané B) details her unexpected and successful two-month trip to the United States. What began as a church-connected visit to Florida evolved into a major music breakthrough, connecting her with a Dove Award-winning producer (Andy Anderson, who has worked with TobyMac) and opening doors to the international market. The discussion centers on her new single, "Brand New Heart," a hopeful pop anthem about surrender and spiritual renewal. Chané B reveals the deeply personal inspiration behind the song's vibrant, flower-filled music video: a vision of heaven described by her late brother, who passed away just four months prior. Looking ahead, she announces she is working on two new songs—one a powerful, Lauren Daigle-style ballad and another with a secret "big twist"—and will be splitting her time between the South African and US markets. She also highlights her work in championing other local artists through her media team. The artist's name change to Chané B marks this new, international chapter in her career.

Inside the Litterboom Project's River Cleanup Mission with Jihaad Jacobs
Jihaad Jacobs, Operations Manager for the Litterboom Project in Cape Town chats to Brad, and he focuses on their innovative approach to combating ocean pollution by intercepting waste in rivers before it reaches the sea. Jacobs reveals that in the first nine months of the year alone, the project has successfully removed a staggering 275,000 kilograms of waste from Cape Town's rivers, primarily using a system of floating "booms" that trap debris. The conversation covers the harsh reality of what is found—from plastic bottles and recyclables to larger items like beds, couches, and even animal carcasses. A key part of their strategy is a three-pronged approach: interception (using the booms), innovation (recycling collected plastic into new products like combs and plant stakes), and education (visiting schools and communities to teach about waste management and the dangers of illegal dumping). Jacobs emphasizes that while cleanup is vital, the ultimate goal is a change in public behavior upstream to stop waste from entering the waterways in the first place.
