    Word on The Street: The "Almost" Names That Would Have Ruined Us

    What’s in a name? Apparently, a whole lot of drama! On this edition of Word on The Street, Zweli is getting personal about the "wild" names her parents almost saddled her with—including the truly questionable "Receding Hairline" and the oddly rhythmic "David During." > We’re diving into the stories that shape our identity from day one. We hear from listeners who were named after 80s power ballads, and one caller whose aunt "helpfully" registered their name at home while their mom was still in a post-labor nap! From names that were meant to be a tribute to names that were just a result of late-night exhaustion, we explore how these labels impact our lives. It’s a hilarious, relatable conversation about the power of a name and the "close calls" that could have changed everything. Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli. He keeps you in the loop with everything from music and movies to sport and pop culture.  Hear what the Word on the Street is, test your skills with the high-pressure 6 Out of 6, and get ready to be entertained.   Thank you for listening to an Afternoons with Zweli podcast  Listen live on Primedia+ weekdays from 12:00 to 15:00 (SA Time) to Afternoons with Zweli broadcast on 947 https://www.primediaplus.com/station/947  For more from the show go to https://buff.ly/FeeL6wY or find all the catch-up podcasts here https://buff.ly/pRBikjo  Subscribe to the 947 Weekly Newsletter here https://buff.ly/hf9IuR9  Follow us on social media    947 on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/947Joburg/  947 on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@947joburg  947 on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/947joburg  947 on X https://x.com/947   947 on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@947Joburg  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Beyond the Elimination: Karen’s Heartfelt MasterChef SA Recap

    She brought elegance, flavor, and a uniquely South African warmth to the MasterChef kitchen. On this episode, Zweli is joined by the lovable Karen, who became a fan-favorite as the "Afrikaans Nigella Lawson." Karen takes us behind the scenes of the country’s most intense cooking competition, revealing what it was really like to live a "double life" while filming. We dive into the emotional toll of being away from her family, the tight-knit friendships formed over simmering pots, and the mounting pressure that comes with every "Mystery Box" challenge. Karen gets honest about the tension leading up to her elimination and shares how she’s navigating life now that the secret is out. From kitchen disasters to the joy of South African cuisine, it’s a heartwarming conversation about resilience, passion, and what’s next on the menu for this culinary star.

    Afternoons with Zweli: Parenting Rules, Health Risks, and the Caffeine Craze

    It’s a conversation every parent needs to hear. On this episode of Word on The Street, Zweli dives into the serious health concerns surrounding highly caffeinated energy drinks. We’re reacting to the devastating news of a 17-year-old athlete who lost her life to caffeine-induced cardiomyopathy—an enlarged heart caused by excessive stimulant intake. We’re looking past the bright colors and "wellness" marketing of brands like Alani Nu to discuss the real impact on young bodies. Zweli reflects on her own childhood "sugar curfews" and asks the 947 family: What are the rules in your house? From listeners who ban energy drinks entirely to those struggling to manage their teens' gym-culture habits, we explore the importance of mindful consumption. It’s a raw look at how a simple choice in the fridge can have life-altering consequences, and why "better-for-you" branding isn't always what it seems.

    Moon Joy & Music Mystery: Artemis II Splashdown and Tyla’s "A-Pop" Sneak Peek

    It’s a weekend recap of cosmic proportions! On this episode of News It or Lose It, Zweli breaks down the historic splashdown of the Artemis II crew, who just returned to Earth after a record-breaking 10-day journey around the Moon. Back on Earth, the drama is just as intense. We’re diving into the Coachella 2026 fallout, specifically the online feud between Justin Bieber and Zara Larsson. After Zara called Justin’s "YouTube-heavy" headlining set "lazy" and compared it to a smoke session, the internet has been divided—is it high art or just a $10 million low-effort payday? Plus, we have the latest on South Africa’s Grammy darling, Tyla. Her sophomore album A-Pop is officially on the way, and we’re giving you a sneak peek at the leaked single "She Did It Again." From the Pacific Ocean to the Empire Polo Club, we’ve got the stories that shaped your weekend.

    Word on The Street: The Wedding Day Disasters We’ll Never Forget

    It’s supposed to be the best day of your life, but sometimes, the universe has other ideas! On this episode of Word on The Street, Zweli is diving into the chaos of wedding days gone wrong. Inspired by a viral TikTok of a couple reciting their vows in a literal mud-pit during a storm, we’re asking the 947 family to share their most "cringe-worthy" wedding memories. We hear from the bride whose three-tier cake surrendered to the Gauteng heat, the groom who realized the rings were still on the kitchen counter, and the best man whose speech was fueled by a little too much Dutch courage. It’s a hilarious, relatable, and heart-warming look at how the biggest disasters often make for the best stories. Whether your wedding was a fairytale or a comedy of errors, we’re celebrating the beauty of imperfection and the fact that you still said "I do" at the end of it all.
