Podcast

Rodney Galant is bekend aan Oudtshoorn as deelnemer aan Kokkedoor Vuur en Vlam, maar agter die kos is daar 'n hele mens met stories, ervarings, humor en 'n interessante pad deur die plaaslike kosbedryf. Martin en Rodney gesels oor kos, Kokkedoor, Oudtshoorn, die lewe, mense, werk en uitdagings. Rodney Galant is known in Oudtshoorn as a contestant on Kokkedoor Vuur en Vlam, but behind the food is a whole person with stories, experiences, humour and an interesting path through the local food industry. Martin and Rodney talk about food, Kokkedoor, Oudtshoorn, life, people, work and challenges.

Dis plaaslik. Dis informeel. Dis soms 'n bietjie stout. Maar dis ons. Welkom by Trots Oudtshoorn Kook & Gesels. It's local. It's informal. It's sometimes a little cheeky. But it's us. Welcome to Trots Oudtshoorn Kook & Gesels.

Ons gesels oor wat mense kan verwag tydens vier dae van geloof, vermaak, musiek, aktiwiteite en gemeenskap, met kunstenaars en optreders soos Neville D, Ben Haydn, Cyprès, Nathan Jean, Chagy the Clown en 'n BMX-vertoning, met meer op pad. We chat about what people can look forward to during four days of faith, entertainment, music, activities and community, featuring artists and performers including Neville D, Ben Haydn, Cypres, Nathan Jean, Chagy the Clown and a BMX Demo, with more to come.

Maar wat maak die Love Festival anders? Ons verken die idee om 'n geloofsgebaseerde boodskap saam met vermaak en gesinsvriendelike feestelikhede te bring — en so 'n omgewing te skep waar mense musiek, optredes en aktiwiteite kan geniet terwyl hulle ook 'n boodskap van hoop, liefde en geloof ervaar. But what makes the Love Festival different? We explore the idea of bringing a faith-based message together with entertainment and family-friendly festivities — creating an environment where people can enjoy music, performances and activities while also experiencing a message of hope, love and faith.

In hierdie episode van Trots Oudtshoorn gesels ons met Morné Pietersen, Stasiebestuurder van Eden FM, in 'n oop en wyd-omvattende gesprek oor die veranderende gesig van Suid-Afrika en die rol wat gemeenskapsmedia steeds speel. In this episode of Trots Oudtshoorn, we sit down with Morné Pietersen, Station Manager of Eden FM, for an open and wide-ranging conversation about the changing face of South Africa and the role community media still has to play.

Morné se reis met Eden FM strek oor baie jare. Ons gesels oor die stasie se groei, die moeilike tye agter die mikrofoon, leierskap en die verantwoordelikheid wat kom met die gee van 'n stem aan gemeenskappe. Morné's journey with Eden FM stretches back many years. We talk about the station's growth, the difficult periods behind the microphone, leadership and the responsibility that comes with giving communities a voice.

Maar hierdie gesprek gaan veel verder as radio. Ons gesels oor Suid-Afrikaanse politiek en korrupsie, geslagsgebaseerde geweld, sosiale media, waninligting, kunsmatige intelligensie en die toekoms van uitsaai. Ons verken ook Eden FM se werk om inheemse kennis te dokumenteer, asook die pynlike geskiedenis van gedwonge verskuiwings in Oudtshoorn en die Klein Karoo. But this conversation goes much further than radio. We discuss South African politics and corruption, gender-based violence, social media, misinformation, artificial intelligence and the future of broadcasting. We also explore Eden FM's work documenting Indigenous knowledge and the painful history of forced removals in Oudtshoorn and the Klein Karoo.

En agter die titel "Stasiebestuurder", wie is Morné Pietersen werklik? Wat het gemeenskapsradio hom geleer oor mense, leierskap en die toekoms van ons streek? And behind the title of "Station Manager", who is Morné Pietersen really? What has community radio taught him about people, leadership and the future of our region?

Dit is 'n oop gesprek oor waar ons vandaan kom, waar Suid-Afrika vandag staan — en waarheen ons op pad is. It's an open conversation about where we've come from, where South Africa finds itself today — and where we're heading next.

In hierdie episode van Trots Oudtshoorn gesels ons met Franscious Myburgh van KarooTax in 'n oop gesprek oor SAID, belastingopgawes, klein besighede, entrepreneurskap, die koste van lewe, finansiële foute, skelmstreke en die groeiende impak van KI op rekeningkunde en die werkplek. In this episode of Trots Oudtshoorn, we sit down with Franscious Myburgh of KarooTax for an open conversation about SARS, tax returns, small businesses, entrepreneurship, the cost of living, financial mistakes, scams and the growing impact of AI on accounting and the workplace.

Ons bring die gesprek ook tuis na Oudtshoorn: Hoe vaar plaaslike besighede werklik? Watter foute maak entrepreneurs? En wat kan gewone mense doen wanneer hul belastingsake oorweldigend geword het? We also bring the conversation home to Oudtshoorn: How are local businesses really doing? What mistakes are entrepreneurs making? And what can ordinary people do when their tax affairs have become overwhelming?

Van die gevreesde SAID-SMS tot die bekende skoenboks vol kwitansies — Franscious verduidelik die wêreld van belasting en geld in taal wat gewone mense verstaan. Geen ingewikkelde rekeningkundige lesing nie — net 'n praktiese gesprek oor geld, besigheid en oorlewing in die Suid-Afrikaanse ekonomie. From the dreaded SARS SMS to the famous shoebox full of receipts, Franscious breaks down the world of tax and money in language ordinary people can understand. No complicated accounting lecture — just a practical conversation about money, business and surviving the South African economy.

Hierdie gesprek gaan nie net oor uitdagings nie. Dit gaan ook oor vermoëns, keuses, waardigheid en die mense agter die stories. This conversation isn't just about challenges. It's also about ability, choice, dignity, and the people behind the stories.

Ons doel met hierdie podcast is eenvoudig: om plaaslike mense 'n stem te gee, om stories te vertel wat saak maak, en om ons gemeenskap nader aan mekaar te bring. Our goal with this podcast is simple: to give local people a voice, to tell stories that matter, and to bring our community closer together.
