Good Morning Angels: The Legacy
We're celebrating 20 years of Good Morning Angels!
Over the next 20 weeks, Good Morning Angels: The Legacy will revisit some of the people who have benefited from the kindness of strangers.
They will share, in their own voices, how that moment of light impacted their lives in the most beautiful, sometimes unexpected, and inspiring ways.
Tune in every Monday morning at 08:10 on Breakfast with Martin Bester to hear the Good Morning Angels story—a celebration of 20 years of changed lives, in the voices of those who are living it.
And tune in every Wednesday morning, as we continue to change lives for good.

Good Morning Angels: The Legacy
When Good Morning Angels started in 2005, social media was just a concept—no Facebook, no Instagram, TikTok, or X.
Google made a big play and launched YouTube.
In South Africa, hosting the 2010 Soccer World Cup was just a dream, and the Gautrain was a fantasy.
Good Morning Angels began as a weekly moment of small acts of kindness: someone would nominate a person they knew who needed help, and we would try to find that help.
Since that first Wednesday morning, we've been able to do just that. It was clear that the Jacaranda FM family was up for the challenge and eager to help.
Two decades on, Good Morning Angels has built a powerful community of changemakers and community builders.
On 16 July 2025 we kicked off a celebration of 20 years of Changing Lives for Good: Changing Lives Since 2005.

The Angels have come together to support, heal, give hope, and change lives for good—building towards the future we all want for ourselves and one another.
More than R120 million has been raised and distributed because of this collective mission.
So, when we say "Changing Lives Since 2005," it is a testimony to everyone who has sent an email on another's behalf, listened, responded, put kindness into action, supported, donated, or sent a WhatsApp.
Because the change is not limited to the lives of those who have received - it’s also in the community of givers and supporters, and the communities of kindness we are able to build together.
