Sol Phenduka features on the Fresh or Vrot segment of the show, where he highlights news that was either “fresh” or “vrot” during the week. In this morning’s show, Sol talked about the murders of the van Breda family who were hacked to death in Stellenbosch. The only survivor was 16 year old daughter Marli van Breda. Sol referred to her survival as “fresh” because she was the only person who can identify her killer. His comments, which included him saying she was “ gorgeous” and that he would “like to axe her out,” but that he “wouldn’t  X her”, have been seen as insensitive, with social media accusing him of making jokes far too soon after such a tragic event. Despite’s Sol’s apology on Twitter, 5FM management has decided to suspend both Sol as well as the show’s producer for three days. The station has also decided to pull the Fresh and Vrot feature completely from the show, effective immediately. 5FM would like to apologise to those offended by the comments of t...

It doesn't matter if you're looking for a date or looking for a job, basic grooming is a task every guy needs to master. Showing up at dinner or an interview looking like a mess is stylish only if you're a rock star. Philips Men SA’s expert barber, Jabu Mmela, has provided some commentary on the 10 things men need to know about grooming. 1. When it comes to caring for the skin, men may not need skin care products with twenty steps and special powders, but that doesn't mean you don't need anything. Like anyone else, a guy gets dirty, oily and sweaty skin that can become dull, dry, irritated or blemished.  2.  Since most men don't wear makeup, a dull skin problem is always obvious, and it never looks good. If you're one of those guys who don’t believe in soap, you're only doing yourself a disservice. Splashing water on your face may remove a small amount of dirt, but it just spreads the rest around your skin. Of all the skin care tips for men...
