Gareth's Guests
Straight up interviews from The Gareth Cliff Show on CliffCentral.com - without any interruptions.
Michael Tellinger
South African author, archeologist, scientist and politician, Michael Tellinger is often referred to as a real-life Indiana Jones. He is not your everyday academic, and he is someone with some rather divisive views when it comes to where we as humans came from. He and Gareth go toe to toe…
Jono Wood
Everyone is a photographer nowadays with smartphones and Instagram, but then there are real photographers like Jono Wood. Jono has captured parts of South African life that many would never imagine, giving him a unique perspective on local society and what goes on in areas where few venture to.
Tbo Touch
Thabo 'Tbo Touch' Molefe is a force of nature in the entertainment industry in South Africa, and the man behind Touch Central. Get to know all about him and how he went from being a young boy selling donuts to the new maverick of online music radio.
Fanele Mbali
Author of the book In Transit, Fanele Mbali was one of the first ANC members sent overseas to further his education for the good of the movement. He became a key member of uMkhonto we Sizwe and worked alongside many struggle icons in fighting for a better South Africa.
Lysle Turner
Lysle Turner has climbed Everest. Not many people can say that globally, but he is the youngest South African to do it, and 30th in total. He is more than a fearless young adventurer though, and also applies his boundless energy to a foundation fighting Huntington's Disease.
Fred Khumalo
#ZuptasMustFall. We've seen the hashtag and similar rants on social media, but the subject of Fred Khumalo's latest book formalises the arguments behind such things and more. He and Gareth unpack the current state of the nation, and why speaking out is so important, and something Fred is so good…
Gavin Rich
Nobody knows as much about Springbok rugby and their coaches as Gavin Rich. He covered the first overseas tour with the team post-isolation in 1992, and has been part of the furniture with them ever since. Never one to mince his words, he brings some fascinating insights to the state…
Lindelani Mkhize
You get really talented people, and then you get Lindelani Mkhize. Starting out as a young music graduate in the early 1990s, Lindelani created Joyous Celebration, giving young local artists the chance to shine like never before - so much so he was dubbed the 'Father of Entertainment', something you…
Fluvia Lacerda
The world of fashion and beauty is one of many facets, and Fluvia Lacerda certainly represents this. She is what is referred to as a 'plus-size model', something that her and Gareth discuss at length and how she got into the industry.
John Vlismas
The ability to use humour to make progress as humans is something that John Vlismas subscribes to. See what he will joke about, and if there is anything he won't joke about as he and Gareth tackle all manner of topics and current affairs. He also has a new show…
Dineo Ranaka
When it comes to South African show business, there are few people who have done more than Dineo Ranaka. She is so much more than the voice or face of shows and brands though, she also has a deep-rooted interest of inspiring others, and empowering youth to achieve more.
Andrew Brown
As an advocate and a police reservist in Cape Town, Andrew Brown has a very unique insight into real life in a city that many perceive as South Africa's darling. There is more than meets the eye though, and his new book Good Cop, Bad Cop uncovers this in an…
Vinny Lingham

Timothy Maurice
Timothy Maurice has just released his latest (4th) book, and has some key fundamentals to share. The book is called Personal Brand Intelligence, and talks about how we can all unlock potential through getting just a few things right in life with his balanced help.
Thomas Pays
South Africa is a vibrant country with boundless opportunity. This isn't spoken about enough however, but in the case of Thomas Pays the proof is in the innovating. Moving to SA with nothing more than R500 and a desire to succeed, Thomas's tech business i-Pay continues to grow and work…
Organ Donor Foundation
Most people will try to be useful in their life, but is there a way you can be of use in the afterlife? August is Organ Donor Month and the team is joined by Jooste Vermeulen and Cleopatra Ndhlovu to talk about organ and tissue donation.
