After a brutal week off recovering from adult wisdom teeth surgery, Zweli is officially back in the hot seat and he’s bringing the absolute grossest, most cringe-worthy adulting stories with him! On this hilarious edition of Word on the Street, Zweli reflects on the painful realities of growing up, starting with a horrifying late-night story. While recovering in a dark room, a innocent midnight sip of water turned into an absolute nightmare when he realized he’d just swallowed a full-blown cockroach! That nightmare opened up the floodgates for the 947 family to confess their own accidental "creepy crawly" horror stories. From biting into a juicy apple only to find half a worm, to discovering a rogue fly floating in a morning coffee or finding a fingernail in a bought sandwich, Joburg listeners call in to share the wildest, stomach-churning things they’ve inadvertently ingested. It’s a lighthearted, laugh-out-loud episode that will have you double-checking your water glass and cringing in total solidarity. Tune in for the chaos, the comedy, and a gentle reminder to always turn the lights on before taking a midnight drink! Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli. He keeps you in the loop with everything from music and movies to sport and pop culture.

Adulting is hard, but it is even harder when the school curriculum skips the basics. In this episode of Word on the Street on Afternoons with Zweli, we open up a candid and hilariously relatable conversation about the essential life skills we all wish we had learned in the classroom. Zweli kicks things off by diving into the collective dread of tax season, unpacking the absolute frustration of trying to decipher complex tax laws, regulations, and confusing bank statements. Joined by 947 listeners, the studio takes a deep dive into practical "Adulting 101" gaps from cooking and managing mental health to changing a flat tire and handling basic home maintenance. We look at how introducing these survival skills at a young age could have completely changed the game for us in the real world. Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli.

It is time to face the ultimate fear. On this episode of Afternoons with Zweli, we are talking about something Zweli has successfully dodged for years: the dentist's chair. From the sterile smell to the terrifying little scraping tools, the dread is real and the heat is officially turned up because Zweli is finally getting their wisdom teeth removed! But doing this as a fully grown adult feels a little awkward when it seems like everyone else got theirs out in high school. This hilariously relatable saga sparks a massive conversation with 947 listeners about the major life milestones we hit way later than everyone else. Whether it’s getting a driver's licence in your 30s, learning to swim at 40, or getting adult braces, we unpack the pressure of feeling "behind" and celebrate the fact that everyone is running their own race.

When does "minding your own business" turn into being a bad friend? On this heated edition of Word on the Street, Zweli tackles a messy moral crossroads that has the entire city divided. A listener noticed that his friend was treating his girlfriend terribly and actively cheating on her, leaving him stuck in the ultimate gray area: do you speak up to protect an innocent person, or do you stay out of it to respect the "friend code"? The lines lit up as the 947 family weighed in on the heavy complexities of the situation. Some listeners argue that staying quiet makes you complicit in the lie, while others swear that getting involved in another couple's drama is a fast track to losing your friend entirely. We break down the unwritten rules of relationship etiquette, the definition of true loyalty, and how to navigate the fallout when the truth finally comes out. Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli.
