Gareth's Guests
Straight up interviews from The Gareth Cliff Show on CliffCentral.com - without any interruptions.
Pastor Dave Barber
Dave Barber was a policeman in Hillbrow in the late 1980s in a turbulent time in South Africa. But that turbulence was nothing compared to his personal life where drugs and violence defined his every day. Destined for a life in prison, his faith got him back on track, and…
Brian Altriche
As the guy who started Rocomamas, you can see that Brian Altriche is all about fun. By going back to basics he is revolutionising the local fast food market, and is doing it on the back of a good understanding of people and providing a quality offering each and every…
Nakhane Touré
Born in the small town of Alice in the Eastern Cape, Nakhane Touré has been on a journey of discovery from the beginning. He shares some incredible stories with Gareth from faith, sex, being rejected on Idols and almost giving everything up, before finally getting a break.
Jann Klose
Born in Germany, but living in America via Africa, Jann's musical journey is a fascinating one and certainly a major influence in his incredible talent. As a genuine singer/songwriter, he has performed in a variety of environments and projects, and is currently in SA creating a unique collaborative album.
Dave Levinsohn
Comedian Dave Levinsohn joins the team as Gareth goes to breakfast, and everything literally falls apart. Michael presents his Relax It's Flax feature, but gets a little drowned out by beer, hickies, broken Beetles and the story of Dave's life as a comedian.
DJ Qness
Qubani Ndlovu, otherwise known as DJ Qness, has shared the stage with some of the most iconic names in local DJing, as well as collaborating with international talents on distinctive projects. More than just a DJ, his talents as a producer have seen him appear on the charts in his…
Nataniël
A real icon in the South African entertainment industry, Nataniël lives a fascinating life. From his new show Mannequin, to having a chef with a six-pack, Gareth gets to really know the man behind one of the most recognisable faces in the country.
Craig Rodney
You get people that call themselves online mavericks, and then you get the few that actually are. Craig Rodney is the latter, and is someone who has fused creativity with opportunity to establish himself as a major player in his world. He also created the @SouthAfrica Instagram profile, something that…
The Khonology Show
Africa Nkosi and Mosa Nyamande are not your average South African young men. Inspired by the African continent, they are seeking to unlock the limitless potential here through their African services company Khonology. #ChangeTheNarrative is the name of their new show on CliffCentral.com, a platform to empower fellow Africans to…
Gabriel 'Tokyo' Sexwale
When it comes to South African struggle icons, they don't come much more influential than Mosima Gabriel 'Tokyo' Sexwale. In playing an important role in the liberation of South Africa, his early life was one of extreme hardships. This is what you know, now hear what he and Gareth discuss…
Nadia Nakai
Being talented and beautiful is often a rare quality, but this is exactly what defines rapper Nadia Nakai. More than just an up and coming talent in the music industry, Gareth finds out what her life is all about right now, and her rise to fame.
Ross Tucker
With the Paralympics coming into the global sporting spotlight, Dr Ross Tucker describes the classification process with athletes - what the differences are, and how some athletes are looking to manipulate the process in order to gain an unfair advantage.
Michael Tellinger
South African author, archeologist, scientist and politician, Michael Tellinger is often referred to as a real-life Indiana Jones. He is not your everyday academic, and he is someone with some rather divisive views when it comes to where we as humans came from. He and Gareth go toe to toe…
Jono Wood
Everyone is a photographer nowadays with smartphones and Instagram, but then there are real photographers like Jono Wood. Jono has captured parts of South African life that many would never imagine, giving him a unique perspective on local society and what goes on in areas where few venture to.
Tbo Touch
Thabo 'Tbo Touch' Molefe is a force of nature in the entertainment industry in South Africa, and the man behind Touch Central. Get to know all about him and how he went from being a young boy selling donuts to the new maverick of online music radio.
Fanele Mbali
Author of the book In Transit, Fanele Mbali was one of the first ANC members sent overseas to further his education for the good of the movement. He became a key member of uMkhonto we Sizwe and worked alongside many struggle icons in fighting for a better South Africa.
Lysle Turner
Lysle Turner has climbed Everest. Not many people can say that globally, but he is the youngest South African to do it, and 30th in total. He is more than a fearless young adventurer though, and also applies his boundless energy to a foundation fighting Huntington's Disease.
Fred Khumalo
#ZuptasMustFall. We've seen the hashtag and similar rants on social media, but the subject of Fred Khumalo's latest book formalises the arguments behind such things and more. He and Gareth unpack the current state of the nation, and why speaking out is so important, and something Fred is so good…
Gavin Rich
Nobody knows as much about Springbok rugby and their coaches as Gavin Rich. He covered the first overseas tour with the team post-isolation in 1992, and has been part of the furniture with them ever since. Never one to mince his words, he brings some fascinating insights to the state…
Lindelani Mkhize
You get really talented people, and then you get Lindelani Mkhize. Starting out as a young music graduate in the early 1990s, Lindelani created Joyous Celebration, giving young local artists the chance to shine like never before - so much so he was dubbed the 'Father of Entertainment', something you…
