Wait… before I do this post a whole ā€œyear laterā€ šŸ˜ŽšŸ¤£ but also before I batcha and go sleep later

Before we usher in the new Gregorian year, I don’t really have a New Year’s resolution. What I do have is deep gratitude.

I’m grateful for the many challenges I faced in 2025, because each one carried a lesson that has helped shape my direction going forward. I’m equally grateful for the blessings, seen and unseen, that came with them.

Walaahi, I’m in competition with nobody, except myself. My only aim is to become a better version of who I was yesterday, even a few hours ago. My focus is on strengthening my relationship with my God, and nurturing the bonds with my very close family and friends. Beyond that, I don’t have the time or energy to focus on anyone or anything else.

Some may have noticed that I became a little quieter this year. That was largely because I completed my BCom degree Algamdulillah, and the demands of studying kept me fully occupied.

Alhamdulillah, I also unexpectedly completed my postgraduate studies at the UWC Law Faculty. On 3 February 2025, I received the call. By 5 February 2025, I was registered, not knowing what lay ahead. Today, I await graduation, Insha Allah.

TWO qualifications completed in 2025. And with Allah’s permission, it’s only upward from here.

While all of this were happening, I also MC’d many events, including international Nasheed artist .official, which was definitely one of my highlights.

I am grateful for:
• My God
• My health
• My family
• My wife
• My children
• My colleagues
• And YOU, every radio ju**ie who followed my journey, whether on social media or on air.

Thank you to those who always throw their support behind me! I’m grateful! I’m thankful, I’m appreciative!

I pray that God grants you a prosperous 2026. May it be filled with goodness, happiness and love, and may every trial you face become a challenge that you overcome with ease.

Much love,
Goolam

Wait… before I batcha and go sleep 😓 šŸ’¤

One of my favourite things is supporting local initiatives, especially when they’re led by people close to me. This weekend, Yusuf Daniels and his wife hosted the Living Lekker Summer Market on Chukker Road.

From the moment I arrived, Clear guidance from security, designated parking, and a well-managed queue system ensured smooth entry, with wristbands issued efficiently. Inside, the venue was spacious, well laid out, and offered ample seating. The entertainment kept the crowd energised, while vendors showcased their products.

As expected, my little Isa had his eye on dried fruit and toys (despite having the EXACT same at home), while my wife found a beautiful sterling silver chain engraved with religious scripture, probably to keep me away 🤣🤣

I made sure to get my copy of Yusuf Daniels’ latest book, ā€œLiving With My Jessie… Always my mother, forever my friendā€¦ā€. Having read his previous books, which are also available at the market, I’m really looking forward to diving into this one.

It was also great reconnecting with familiar faces and meeting some radio ju**ies, whether for a quick photo, a short chat, or a simple salaam. The vibe was lekker.

The Living Lekker Summer Market runs until Sunday, 21 December. Do yourself a favour, pop in, support local, and enjoy a truly lekker experience. Well done Yusuf and team!

Wait… before I batcha and go sleep 😓 šŸ’¤

Today was an extremely busy day. From colleagues who left for Umrah (I’ll tell you about that later), to my mom in law’s 60th birthday celebration. However, I want to park that for a minute, just to share so much appreciation and love to Shariefa and her team at Shereen's Cuisine.

I would like to extend a special and heartfelt commendation to Shariefa and her exceptional team at Shereen’s Cuisine for their outstanding hospitality, impeccable service, and unforgettable culinary experience.

Shariefa has truly mastered her craft and is widely respected for her professionalism, dedication, and strong work ethic. What stood out most to me was her ability to create a fully tailor-made package for my mom in law’s 60th birthday celebration. As someone who had never planned an event of this nature before, I felt completely at ease knowing everything was in expert hands.

From the venue and dƩcor to the catering and overall coordination, every detail was thoughtfully managed and flawlessly executed. The celebration was elevated by beautifully presented, flavourful dishes bursting with flavour, leaving guests impressed and thoroughly satisfied. The result was a seamless, stress-free experience and a truly special occasion that meant the world to my mom and our family.

I highly recommend Shariefa and the Shereen’s Cuisine team for any event, whether corporate functions, weddings, or private celebrations. Her passion for what she does genuinely shines through and adds an extra layer of comfort and confidence to any occasion. Shereen’s Cuisine is a one-stop solution that makes the impossible possible.

For bookings and enquiries, I strongly encourage visiting their social media pages.

Once again, Shukran Shariefa, much love, gratitude, and appreciation for making this milestone so memorable.

Wait… before I batcha and go sleep 😓 šŸ’¤

I’ve noticed a growing trend where, when something is clearly wrong, some people vent on social media while others insist on ā€œstaying positiveā€ (to maintain the peace) at all costs, even in the face of wrongdoing. The truth remains: wrong is wrong, even if everyone is doing it; right is right, even if no one is doing it.

We all have our own shortcomings, and our repentance is ultimately between us and the Almighty. None of us has the right to judge another person. However, standing up for justice and what is right is a responsibility we cannot ignore, even when it is uncomfortable or unpopular. Choosing silence or distancing yourself from something you’ve witnessed does not absolve you; in many ways, it makes you complicit.

We all pray for peace, kindness, and unity, yet our actions toward one another often contradict these very hopes. It’s time we align our behaviour with the values we speak of so often. Remember we all sin, just differently! Be kind! Be mindful!

Wait… before I batcha and go sleep 😓 šŸ’¤ā€¦ this might ruffle some feathers, but it must be said!

Let’s be clear: Cape Town is beautiful, and South Africa is beautiful, but our communities are under pressure, and accountability is non-negotiable. Yes, we all play a role, but Government and leadership must answer for the ongoing failures: poor spatial planning, chronic housing shortages, limited access to basic services, rising unemployment, school dropouts, and universities that accept a 30% pass rate.

And let’s talk about public service. Too many (not all) public hospitals and schools are run by people who treat patients like they’re doing them a favour. Staff disrespecting patients, unprofessional behaviour, and zero accountability, Mowbray Maternity must feel proud being at the top of the list, this is unacceptable. People on the Cape Flats are not ā€œless than.ā€ They deserve dignity, infrastructure, and room to live, not overcrowded matchbox developments where families cannot even bury their loved ones with dignity.

Government, this is on you.

Election season is coming in 2026. Please, do your research before making your mark. Don’t be swayed by T-shirts, free food or transport. And to those hopping between political parties, this isn’t a boost for you or your ego either. Accountability will catch up with everyone.

South Africa deserves better. Let’s demand it.

Wait… before I batcha and go sleep šŸ’¤ 🄱 😓

Perhaps I’m opening up a can of worms, perhaps not? Perhaps we all learn something as we go along?

Are Virtual Medical Consultations valid? In instances where the patient is incapacitated, and cannot get to a Dr’s rooms, then sure that makes sense. But if you’re (for example) suffering of a headache that requires medical attention, should you not physically go to the Dr? I’m merely asking, each case has its own merits. My examples could be completely wrong.

I’m of the view that employers should have policies in place to determine what warrants whatever consultations have been made.

However, while there is currently no specific legislation governing online doctor consultations in South Africa, the practice finds support under the broader concept of telehealth. The Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) plays a pivotal role in endorsing this approach to healthcare.

General guidelines include:

Virtual doctors can treat you even if you’ve never met face-to-face before.
You can meet with a doctor via ā€œany suitable Information and Communication Technology (ICT) platformsā€, so video call meetings are 100% preferable.
If the online doctor thinks you need to see a doctor in-person, they will tell you.
Virtual doctors must keep a record of your consultationconsult.

Employers, be empathetic… employees understand your rights. This is just something I brought up because difference scenarios are playing in my head!

For now, it acceptable, provided otherwise advised!
We learn as we go along.

Wait… before I batcha and go sleep 😓 šŸ’¤

This is worth reposting!

Algamdulillah I’ve been busy in the community and just concluded another gig tonight. But it got me thinking about what success should be like, or feel like. I could be completely wrong, so please weigh in.

People... I’ve been thinking about this for some time, there are many thoughts that I’m unable to capture in writing, But have you thought about this – there is no real definition of ā€œsuccessā€? According to the dictionary (and others lean towards the same: ā€œSuccess is the achievement of something that you have been trying to do.ā€ OR ā€œSuccess is the achievement of a high position in a particular field, for example in business or politics.ā€

For all my life I’ve been doing media. Radio and television in particular! But is it considered a success? It could be, right?

My thing is – if you have gone the wrong way about reaching that high position by digging holes for others, by closing doors for others, by becoming untrustworthy among your circle of colleagues, by stealing the ideas of others, then you have not attained success. I would suggest you evaluate your EQ.

To be successful means that you have faith in what has been ordained for you by God! You have worked hard without closing in on opportunities for others. You have grown independently at the mercy of your creator. You share your knowledge easily. You always try and help wherever you can. You have remained humble.

THAT is success! šŸŽ¤šŸŽ§

This might not bode well with many, but it is what it is…

If you encourage and/or laugh at your children’s disrespect towards others, irrespective of age, then you need to ask yourself if you actually did a great job in raising them! Oh, before some feel offended, I’m not talking about those who went off the rails on their own 😊. It’s not ok for the younger generation to refer to their elders as JY, JOU etc etc.. it’s not!

This reminder (to me first) popped up on my timeline which I posted in 2020. It’s worth the repost. šŸ¤²šŸ¼

Stop saying ā€œI hate my jobā€. You are exactly where Allah wants you to be!

There are millions standing in the unemployment line waiting for your job. Don’t be ungrateful. Appreciate, accept and make the best of it until something else comes up.

May Allah remove any difficulties, and grant the unemployed job opportunities, Ameen!

Jumuah Mubarak ☺
