Hamman walked to Polokwane for the station’s Small Town Live Loud event in April 2016, traversed the Western Cape in preparation for the Cape Town Live Loud concert in September 2016, and featured the city of Durban for the show’s #Inside feature in March.
Now, the show will take its listeners on a month-long excursion as Nick Hamman and producer Mike Bossenger (Mad Money Mike) travel through the nine provinces, spending at least two days in each, as they learn more about the heritage in the cities and small towns.
"The Hamman Time Heritage Tour is an exciting and relevant way to take the 5FM community on a countrywide journey, without leaving their jobs and lectures," says 5FM station manager, Justine Cullinan. "It’s a powerful way to further bring youthful South Africans together through the power of music, which is our purpose as 5FM."
Hamman Time will broadcast the tour live every day and encourages listeners to promote their province by engaging with the show and sharing their stories. The tour aims to deliver a unique experience as it takes a look at the culture and history South Africa has to offer. In conjunction with the live broadcasts, listeners can follow the tour on the station’s various social media platforms for interviews, videos, and images.
The Hamman Time Heritage Tour starts on Friday, 1 September, as Hamman and Bossenger head to the North West Province to explore the Pilanesberg for their first pit stop. The duo then moves on to Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Gauteng, Kwa-Zulu Natal, Free State, Eastern Cape, and Northern Cape before reaching the Western Cape just before Heritage Day.
