Johannesburg, South Africa (30 April 2025)<\/em> – Every so often, you meet someone whose energy feels like it could light up a thousand rooms. This week on Good Things with Brent Lindeque, I had the absolute joy of sitting down with Elana Afrika-Bredenkamp… one of South Africa\u2019s brightest voices, storytellers and changemakers.<\/p>\n Friends, she is such an amazing, beautiful dazzling light.<\/p>\n Elana is more than just a familiar voice on the radio or a celebrated face on our screens. She is the very spirit of vibrant South Africa, blending warmth, wisdom, wit and an unwavering commitment to uplift others in everything she does. From midmorning radio on Jacaranda FM, to her ground-breaking podcast work, to giving back through sport and education, Elana\u2019s journey is layered with good things worth shouting about.<\/p>\n We spoke about her passion for podcasting… a medium where she truly shines. Her Parent & Baby Brunch<\/a> has touched the lives of thousands of families, offering comfort, advice and laughter through the chaos of parenthood. Between hosting one of the country\u2019s most-loved radio shows, managing ballet lessons, hockey practice and bedtime stories at home, Elana found the time to sit down for a very candid interview. And what makes Elana\u2019s story such a good thing is not just the accolades or the achievements (although they are pretty phenomenal), it\u2019s the way she carries it all… with authenticity, humility and a heart so deeply rooted in giving back. She reminded me that success means more when you lift others as you rise and that our voices, no matter how big or small, have the power to connect, heal and inspire.<\/p>\n If you haven\u2019t yet, go give our full conversation a listen<\/a> (or a watch below). It\u2019s packed with laughter, life lessons and all the good things that make you believe in the beauty of this country.<\/p>\n
