PODCAST: Toyota Tundra in Mzansi can shake up the bakkie game

American bakkie's hybrid powertrain produces 325kW of power and 790Nm of torque. South Africans love driving bakkies, the bigger the better. This love-affair can soon grow more intense with the imminent arrival the Toyota Tundra in right-hand drive.

A 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol engine hooked up to an electric motor and battery pack combines to deliver a monstrous 325kW of power and 790Nm of torque.

Another one! DJ Khaled backs Sundowns for Club World Cup win

DJ Khaled is backing Mamelodi Sundowns for another victory at their second Fifa Club World Cup game this weekend. The South African team will take on Germany's Dortmund on Saturday, 21 June. Earlier this week, the 'Brazilians' beat South Korea's Ulsan 1-0. Can they claim another victory and make it out of the group stages? In a video posted by Roc Nation, DJ Khaled showed love to South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns, who are playing at the Fifa Club World Cup, currently taking place in the US. The music producer – who is signed to Roc Nation, and has a notable role in their sporting company – had a special message for the local club. 'Sundowns, congratulations on your big one. Another one, again. Let's go!'. The post was liked by over 50 000 Instagram users, with Springbok captain Siya Kolisi being one of them. The music mogul – real name Khaled Mohammed Khaled – is a longtime supporter of the 'Brazilians', as part of his affiliation with club sponsor, Roc Nation. However, many South Africans doubt whether he personally knows any of the Sundowns players. It remains unclear if DJ Khaled will be watching from the stands to support the South African team. On the same day Sundowns beat Ulsan at an empty Orlando Stadium, the US superstar flew to the Hard Rock Stadium in Florida to watch another team – Real Madrid – play instead. The father-of-two thanked club player Vinicius Junior and Roc Nation Sports international president Michael R. Yormark for inviting him. 'Let's go play soccer', he said of the VIP experience. View this post on Instagram A post shared by DJ KHALED (@djkhaled) Sundowns are part of the Club World Cup's Group F, which also includes Brazil's Fluminense and Borussia Dortmund of Germany. The top two teams from each group will qualify for the knockout phase, which consists of the Top 16, quarter-final, semi-final, and ultimately the final, which will take place at the MetLife Stadium in New York on 13 July. On Saturday, 21 June, Mamelodi Sundowns will play German club Dortmund. On 25 June, they will face off against Brazilian club Fluminense.
