5FM, South Africa\u2019s favourite youth radio station and multimedia hub, is proud to announce that\u00a0Nick Hamman<\/strong>, host of\u00a05 Breakfast<\/strong>, has officially been nominated in the\u00a0Media, Digital & Social<\/strong>\u00a0category of the\u00a02026 Forty Under 40 South Africa Awards<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This is a prestigious national platform that recognises South Africa\u2019s most influential young leaders under the age of 40.

Nick\u2019s nomination acknowledges his standout contribution to South African media, from his massively engaging breakfast show,\u00a05 Breakfast<\/b>, and powerful\u00a0storytelling<\/b>\u00a0through initiatives like the 5FM War Cry Challenge and Heritage Tour, to his\u00a0digital influence<\/b>\u00a0and his ongoing commitment to\u00a0celebrating Mzansi\u2019s people, culture and food - especially through his hugely popular food and travel show, Hammy Eats.<\/b><\/p>\n
