What started as a community clean-up effort has grown into a movement of good humans showing up for the coast, including local families, residents and school pupils earning LO hours.

This week Mike and volunteer Sam Basson joined us in studio to talk about the work happening behind the scenes, the state of our beaches, and why community action still matters.

Find North Coast Beaches on Facebook and Instagram. If you’ve been meaning to do something good for the coast, this is your open invitation.

IPSS Search and Rescue is a North Coast non profit unit working on the front line of missing person cases and emergency response.

They operate across KwaDukuza and surrounding areas, often mobilising quickly when time matters most.

Their work is complex, it is time critical, and it often happens in difficult conditions.

But behind every operation is a team focused on one thing. Bringing people home and supporting families through some of their most uncertain moments.

This week on The Ripple, we speak to Sam Merrick and her team about what it really takes to do this work. ]]> Leisure Mon, 30 Mar 2026 11:05:00 +0200 0 0 The Ripple with Penny Fourie 0 0 Mike Charles full 12:44 Mike In The Morning ☕️ https://iono.fm/e/1661248 https://iono.fm/e/1661248 Leisure Mon, 30 Mar 2026 08:45:00 +0200 0 0 Friday Focus | Tongaat court date looms, power crisis and fuel hike 0 0 Mike Charles full 6:05 Mike In The Morning ☕️ https://iono.fm/e/1660803 https://iono.fm/e/1660803 Leisure Fri, 27 Mar 2026 08:10:00 +0200 0 0 Interview with CEO & Executive Director Prasanth Seevnarayan 0 0 Mike Charles full 18:45 Mike In The Morning ☕️ https://iono.fm/e/1661242 https://iono.fm/e/1661242 Leisure Fri, 27 Mar 2026 07:30:00 +0200 0 0 Vilafonté Uncorked: South Africa’s Rising Wine Excellence & A Big Launch Ahead 🍷 0 0 Mike Charles full 14:32 Mike In The Morning ☕️ https://iono.fm/e/1659861 https://iono.fm/e/1659861 Leisure Wed, 25 Mar 2026 08:30:00 +0200 0 0 Legal Insights with Gavin Steinhobel: Property Expertise & Beyond 0 0 Mike Charles full 11:59 Mike In The Morning ☕️ https://iono.fm/e/1659853 https://iono.fm/e/1659853 Leisure Wed, 25 Mar 2026 08:10:00 +0200 0 0 More Than a Crown: Carla on Growth, Empowerment & Community 0 0 Mike Charles full 11:15 Mike In The Morning ☕️ https://iono.fm/e/1659521 https://iono.fm/e/1659521 Leisure Tue, 24 Mar 2026 08:10:00 +0200 0 0 Maskam Water - The Fusion: Advanced Wastewater Treatment for Decentralised Solutions 0 0 Mike Charles full 12:59 Mike In The Morning ☕️ https://iono.fm/e/1658968 https://iono.fm/e/1658968 Leisure Mon, 23 Mar 2026 08:30:00 +0200 0 0 A Major Milestone: IPSS Security Secures the Club Med Contract 0 0 Mike Charles full 11:03 Mike In The Morning ☕️ https://iono.fm/e/1658952 https://iono.fm/e/1658952 Leisure Mon, 23 Mar 2026 07:30:00 +0200 0 0 Restoring the Sounds That Matter: Joyful Sound Audiology with Julia Seiler on the Ballito Connect 0 0 Mike Charles full 12:11 true Mike In The Morning ☕️ https://iono.fm/e/1658351 https://iono.fm/e/1658351

Lisa, a retired teacher, works with a small group of volunteers to support vulnerable children through weekly reading sessions. The programme does not require teaching experience. It depends on people who are willing to give a little time each week to sit with a child and help build confidence through reading.

The centre also has a small computer hub with Wi-Fi, where students can receive assistance with basic computer skills, schoolwork and compiling CVs. However, of the ten donated computers available, only two are currently working.

If you have a spare working computer or are able to volunteer a few hours a week to assist with the reading programme, please contact the Nkobongo Resource Centre on 078 735 1668 and ask to speak to Zama. Computers can also be dropped off at the radio station.

You can also WhatsApp the radio on 071 185 1471 if you would like to be connected directly with Lisa.

If you missed the show, The Ripple airs every Monday at 7:30am on 88FM during the Morning Show with Mike and Penny.

Each week, The Ripple aims to highlight where good is already happening in our communities. The segment is built on a simple belief: when good is shared, it can be felt. And when it is felt, it can inspire others. Sometimes inspiration begins with something small. One story, one act, one ripple at a time. ]]> Leisure Mon, 02 Mar 2026 07:30:00 +0200 0 0 This week on The Ripple, we focused on local resident Lisa Hatfield’s volunteer led reading programme 0 0 Mike Charles full 25:21 Mike In The Morning ☕️ https://iono.fm/e/1650573 https://iono.fm/e/1650573
