Hello Muizenberg Podcast

The Hello Muizenberg Podcast tells the unique stories of the people living in the greater Muizenberg community and discusses the issues that affect them. From ordinary people to local personalities we tell them all. From theatre to political prisoners, historians to sportsmen and surfers. The show is presented every week by radio talk show host, Wayne Turner, and is recorded at the Hive community collaborative or in our mobile studio, a 1976 VW campervan.

Muizenberg hosted a business event called "Gateway to Muizenberg : Business for Change". Another business event, networking opportunity or get together? I thought it was just another one. But, what I did learn is that community collaboration is not exclusive but inclusive. Even if there are other initiatives we need to keep working together to build our community.

The guest speaker, Steven Harris from 75 Harrington Street, shared ...

Our first special podcast at the Masque Theatre. We interview some of the actors in the cast of the Producers. This is an amazing "so called" amateur production. There is nothing amateur and I mean nothing amateurish about this show. I was blown away by the commitment of the cast and crew.
Chatting to some of the cast before the show was a real experience, catching some of the enthusiasm of unpaid performers. The audience were astou...

We kick off this podcast with a heartwarming story about bees and what better place to have a talk about them than at the Hive in Palmer Road, Muizenberg. Bees sting but if they like you then they don't. I was amazed at how caring bees are for each other.

Ashtan Davids is a 21 year old born and bred Muizenberg surfing resident with a diffability, as he calls it. He has refused the label of disability and prefers his own word of diffability or a different ability. Born with cerebral palsy and the use of only one hand he has single-handedly (pardon the pun) broken through barriers and smashed moulds despite major physical challenges. His idea of normal is reaching his full potential ...
