John Robbie

During his career John has interviewed a range of important figureheads, from heads of government and key players in the political arena, to sporting heroes, business gurus and phenomenal South Africans making headlines, both locally and abroad. No matter what the interview, John is not afraid to ask the difficult questions. He's hard-hitting, while remaining fair and honest. John uses his position as a talk show host to advocate for his listeners, taking up their cause when they cannot. Each week he strives to help his audience in one way or another, making a difference in their lives where he can. John's previous rugby career has also seen him take up the role of rugby commentator, both on television and at Independent Newspapers. This, combined with his motivational approach, has also seen him volunteer his time as a 'Laureus Friend and Ambassador' at the international Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, which uplifts disadvantaged communities through sport.
