Fitness: Carmién Cold Brew Rooibos, the Sugar-Free iced tea worth trying?
15 oct 2026, 2:55 · 9 min
Guest: Liezel Van Der Westhuizen | Presenter at Talk Radio 702 / 567 Cape Talk and KFM What if making healthier drink choices for your family was as simple as dropping a rooibos teabag into cold water? From sugary lunchbox juices and fizzy drinks to bottled iced teas, many everyday beverages contain more sugar than consumers expect. Now, South African tea brand Carmién is offering a refreshing alternative with its Cold Brew Rooibos Ice Tea range, specially developed to infuse directly into cold water in just 10 to 30 minutes. Naturally caffeine-free, sugar-free and available in fruity flavours, the range offers an easy way to make ordinary water more appealing. There's also Carmién Kiddies Berry Boost, a rooibos blend featuring strawberry and blackcurrant flavours with added vitamin C, alongside a separate children's cold-brew range. But can these products genuinely help families reduce sugar intake, and are they suitable for children, active adults and everyday hydration?   In this week's Test It Out Thursday feature on CapeTalk and Talk Radio 702, Liezel van der Westhuizen, fitness presenter, wellness correspondent and burnout and mental fitness coach, joins Africa Melane to unpack the science, convenience and practical benefits of cold-brew rooibos. From understanding how cold-water brewing affects tea flavour to exploring the role of rooibos antioxidants, vitamin C and sugar-free alternatives, Liezel examines what these drinks can and cannot do for our health. She also explains why plain water should remain the first choice for everyday hydration, when endurance athletes may need additional electrolytes and carbohydrates, and how parents can make healthier drinking habits more enjoyable for children. Plus, discover a memorable World Health Organization statistic about daily sugar intake and creative ways to turn rooibos into refreshing homemade iced tea and fruit-filled ice lollies. Is this the simple South African wellness swap worth adding to your family's routine? Early Breakfast with Africa Melane is 702’s and CapeTalk’s early morning talk show.

Fitness: Are you fit enough for the Planet Fitness Hybrid Games?
14 oct 2026, 2:55 · 8 min
Guest: Liezel Van Der Westhuizen | Presenter at Talk Radio 702 / 567 Cape Talk and KFM What if you had just 23 minutes to prove your strength, endurance and mental resilience, with a chance to compete for R20 000 in prize money? The Planet Fitness Hybrid Games 2026 are back for Season 2, bringing one of South Africa's emerging hybrid fitness competitions to Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria and Johannesburg. Combining running, strength training and functional fitness exercises into an intense 23-minute challenge, the competition tests much more than physical strength. Athletes must navigate eight two-minute work blocks, with one-minute recovery periods, while tackling movements such as SkiErg, rowing, sandbag lunges and wall balls. With R240 000 in total prize money, including R20 000 for each male and female age-category winner at the Grand Final, the stakes are higher than ever. But does being the strongest or fastest athlete guarantee success, or could smart pacing, efficient movement and recovery make all the difference?Fitness presenter, endurance athlete, burnout and mental fitness coach Liezel van der Westhuizen joins Africa Melane on CapeTalk and Talk Radio 702 to explore the growing popularity of hybrid racing and what makes the Planet Fitness Hybrid Games different from traditional endurance events and competitions such as HYROX.

Discover how the competition works, who can enter, how athletes qualify for the Grand Final at Planet Fitness Olympus in Pretoria on 14 November 2026, and what to expect at the Cape Town qualifier at Planet Fitness Plattekloof on 24 October 2026.
