His ability to make us laugh while reminding us who we are is what makes Themba Robin a voice for the nation… literally and figuratively.

 

South Africa (03 June 2025) – This week on Good Things with Brent Lindeque, we’re bringing you something truly special… the kind of story that’ll make you smile from ear to ear, laugh out loud and feel just a little bit prouder to be South African. Because this week, we’re sitting down with Themba Robin… the hilarious, kind, proudly South African voice behind some of the funniest content on your screen.

Whether you’ve seen him playfully narrating life like it’s a wildlife documentary or heard his iconic voiceovers on your favourite radio and TV ads, chances are, Themba has already brightened your day without you even knowing it.

Known by many as “South Africa’s David Attenborough” (and yes, he wears that nickname like a badge of honour), Themba’s knack for delivering laugh-out-loud moments with clever, thoughtful humour is what makes him a standout talent in the local creative scene. But it’s not just about the giggles. His comedy has heart. It makes you think. It connects us to each other, and to this chaotic, beautiful country we call home.

Raised in the friendly city of Gqeberha (formerly PE) and now a proud Jo’burger, Themba is more than just a viral content creator or voiceover artist for the country’s biggest brands. He’s a dad, and a businessman, and a proud South African, and an all round lekker guy.

So why is this a good thing? Because people like Themba remind us that there’s still so much to laugh about. So much to celebrate. So much light in the everyday. Whether it’s poking fun at our load-shedding survival techniques or narrating potholes like they’re part of the Serengeti, his talent brings people together in joy and shared experience. And that kind of impact matters.

Themba’s story, and his success, is proof that when you mix authenticity, talent, and a good heart… you can uplift a nation.

And honestly, we’re all better for it.

So grab your headphones, hit play, and come laugh with us. Because this week’s episode of Good Things with Brent Lindeque is all about good vibes, good people… and one incredibly good guy.
