The Real South Africa

Loading player...
We are almost at the middle of the year and Zambia is calling. Before we head off to the Mighty East African country of Zambia, we want to share our latest show with you. Neo Mokuene, who is one of the Mad Swimmers who climbed the Himalayas to be one of those who swam at the highest altitude. He shares with us that after a year they are finally putting the documentary together sharing thoughts, dreams and how it changed the lives of everyone who climbed. At Indaba 2025, we took a moment to record one minute interviews with some of the stand holders and those are our commercials this week. No sooner are we done with that than we move along to take in the sights and sounds of camping. Just regular camping and what it means to South Africans and I have no doubt families worldwide with a new entrepreneur, Calvin Mncube of Base Camp 3. Great to see how humble but far sighted our young entrepreneurs are. In closing we have part 2 of the scam that almost bankrupted a community and sent the scammer to jail for 42 years! A record in the USA. Enjoy and catch up from Zambia - We will be broadcasting on Anytime Event Radio a Vamos Travel Africa special of 3 days on tourism in Africa.
