The Ask A Man feature on Metro FM’s Break Away with Khutso Theledi has once again proven why it’s one of the most talked-about radio segments in South Africa. The segment, which invites anonymous callers to share their relationship dilemmas, often spills over onto social media where hashtags like #AskAMan and #BreakAwayWithKhutsoTheledi trend regularly.

A Safe Space for Emotions

Listeners say they love how the platform gives men and women alike the freedom to express their emotions without fear of judgment. As one fan put it on X:

“I love how this segment is a safe place for men to be in touch with their emotions.”

This sense of vulnerability and honesty has turned the segment into a daily “family meeting,” with listeners weighing in to offer advice—or sometimes comic relief.

Viral Moments and Funny Theories

The show has sparked countless memorable moments, with social media users coining hilarious “theories” about relationships. One trending joke has been the “lunch bar theory”, where some laugh about people being in relationships for years but knowing almost nothing about their partners—except their favourite chocolate.

Another viral comment read:

“Not getting into a relationship ne dlozi lakho,” followed by crying emojis, leaving many in stitches.

Support and Tough Love

While some listeners offer sympathy to anonymous callers facing heartbreak and tough decisions, others give blunt advice. One user tweeted:

“I am sorry for the loss of your baby, but the universe has been trying to save you and you’re still trying to dive in deeper into the mess.”

Others remind callers that exes should remain in the past, with one fan writing:

“The girls never learn. Exes are exes for a reason.”

Why It Works

The mixture of raw honesty, humour, and community advice is what makes Ask A Man so impactful. With personalities like Khutso Theledi, Somizi, Naked DJ, Given Baloyi, and Kgopedi Afrika steering the conversation, the show has become more than just entertainment—it’s a mirror of South Africa’s love, struggles, and laughter.
