John Maytham speaks to Sonica Lategan, spokesperson for Disaster Risk Management at the City of Cape Town, for the latest on the ground. She shares what damage the storm has caused thus far and how the City is responding. From flooded roadways to proactive emergency deployment, Cape Town's response teams are working around the clock.

Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists.

A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions. Another firm favourite is the humorous Thursday crossing with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis, called “Plan B”.
