F2P Friday: FINDING FATHER

Welcome to this week's installment of F2P Friday, where we highlight our favorite Free-to-Play games. The video game market is oversaturated, and sometimes, hidden gems fall through the cracks. This is where we dig for you and feature a new F2P game we know you will enjoy every week. This week, we soak in the sounds of the city in Finding Father , a hidden sound puzzle game.

Your fun-loving father has passed away, leaving behind an audio treasure hunt for you to follow. Turn up the sound and tune your ear in to track down everyday sounds in a market in Cape Town. Embark on a loving journey full of dad jokes and shared memories to the year 2002. The key to it all is just a recording away. The Basics
Let's get down to the basics of Finding Father by Studio Bo, an independent animation and game development team from Cape Town, South Africa. It plays like a hidden object with the added puzzle layer of matching the correct sound to the MP3 recording left behind by your late father. A brief tutorial introduces the puzzle elements, but the controls are intuitive and reward environmental exploration.

If you are having trouble tracking down a sound, you can skip a puzzle with the controls on the MP3 player to work on a different sound file. Most puzzles can be solved by sight, but sometimes, similarly shaped objects on the map will make different sounds. If with one trash can you don't succeed, click and click again! Why Should I Play?
So why should you play Finding Fathe r? I play dozens of hidden object puzzle games every year and it was a treat to find this one. This is a nostalgic and somber puzzle game about playing one last game with your dad. I loved the goofy, dad-joke telling narrative parts and the quirky animations reminded me of a Humongous Game. I love games with charm and interactive environment elements like this. My only real complaint is that I wish it were a little longer with more tracks from Dad.
You can take one last walk with Dad and play Finding Father on Itch.io in the browser.

EFF drops gospel artist Betusile Mcinga from 12th anniversary lineup over ANC ties

Artists who reveal their party allegiances are learning that mixing art with politics can damage their careers and income. Renowned gospel artist Betusile Mcinga was booked as part of the artists that will be performing at the EFF's 12th anniversary celebration to be held in Khayelitsha Rugby Stadium, Cape Town, on Saturday, July 26, 2025. Read more | Judgment reserved in Julius Malema firearm cas However, EFF supporters known as 'ground forces' used social media to pressure the EFF to drop him as an act. They demanded that the party leader remove him from the lineup and find a replacement who is genuinely committed to the EFF. The reason for Mcinga's removal stems from his public support for the African National Congress (ANC), a political party that often finds itself at odds with the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF). They argued that as affiliates of the EFF, they contribute financially to the organisation and therefore have a right to dictate how their money is spent and supporting a 'card-carrying member of the ANC' is a slap to the face to them, and they felt that their values and interests were being compromised. Julius Malema responded to the calls and removed Mcinga from the lineup, and a new and final poster for the event was released with Mcinga removed from the lineup. Bethusile took to social media to address the concerns from people, stating that people should focus on celebrating the milestone that the party has reached and not the negativity, as he didn't take any offence at his removal from the event. 'Don't make the event about me. It's about celebrating EFF, so I think let's focus on that, not me. Even if I'm there or not doesn't change anything about the 12th anniversary,' he posted.

BBM's Willy takes his clothing brand to the streets of Pretoria

Supplied His kasi charm and rizz made him stand out in the Big Brother Mzansi house (BBM) S4. He was one of the season's favourites, thanks to his relatable aura and love for the Bathu shoe brand. Although Wilfred 'Willy' Thathane did not win the grand prize, he made it to the semi-finals, maintaining his resilience in the Big Brother house. The GaRankuwa-born reality TV star bagged numerous brand collaborations, and he took his entrepreneurship to the next level. Before BBM, Willy was working as a production planner at Nestlé until his friends encouraged him to audition for the show due to his vibrant personality. Willy admits to Drum that he didn't even know about the reality show. Read more | Halala! Blood & Water star, Khosi Ngema, is engaged '⁠I honestly didn't even know what Big Brother was about. I went because my friends said I must go. Well, they encouraged me because of my personality. I had no plan going in, but I came out and realised that my life has changed forever.' '⁠I have now gotten the platform to work with brands in exchange for financial compensation and got exposed to a new world that I never knew existed when I was a regular 9-5 employee,' he adds. Growing up, he knew he had no safety net. When times got tough, he had no choice but to keep pushing forward. His hustle began as early a 10 years old, where he started selling sweets at school. 'Growing up, life hasn't been easy, but the only thing that kept me going was the mere fact I don't have anything to fall back on, so I had to keep it moving. I couldn't afford to give up; therefore, nkase fele moya (I won't lose my drive) with the aim that dilo ditlo tlhakana (things are going to eventually work out).' He made 'Lepara ale fele moya (A man doesn't lose his drive)' his daily mantra, which eventually became the name of his clothing brand. 'I was wearing a shirt that had my mantra, but with the exposure from the show and repping the four words 24/7, I decided to turn it into a clothing brand to extend its effect and to spread the message to the world at large,' he explains to Drum. 'Lepara Ale fele Moya is a daily mantra to encourage everyone not to give up. The goal is to turn it into a movement that speaks to everyone going through things they can't overpower, not to give up and trust the process.' As with any other business, he has faced multiple challenges like the lack of reliable suppliers and financial resources, which have delayed the growth of his brand. This has forced him to take his hustle to the streets of Pretoria to reach buyers. View this post on Instagram A post shared by WILLY (@wizly_wii) In a recent post captioned 'Finally stepped out of the 'what if people won't buy' zone', his followers rallied behind his hustle and vouched to support the 25-year-old. Speaking to Drum about putting pride aside and pushing his brand, he says, '⁠I don't associate myself with the word 'pride'. I just decided to not only depend on social media to market the business, but to also use my presence to attract more people and have a wider audience being exposed to the brand'. What many may not know, though, is that this is but his second business. 'It was in early 2023 when a friend asked me to transport her little sister to her matric dance with my car. I then started to charge people and that's how Luxury Rentals was born.'
