Why is it easier to confront a dodgy contractor than it is to tell a hairstylist they’re actively ruining your life? 💀✂️ This afternoon, Zweli opens up the phone lines for a hilarious but painfully relatable Word on the Street about our collective inability to speak up during a bad service.

From braids that are tight enough to change your facial expressions, to dye jobs that look nothing like the Pinterest picture, we’re diving into the salon horror stories of Joburg. Zweli looks at the awkward tension between being a polite client and standing up for your own head. Why do we sit there in absolute silence, watch the disaster happen in the mirror, and then still leave a tip? We’re hearing your wildest stories of hair trauma, terrible nail jobs, and the moment you finally found the courage to say, "Stop cutting!" 💅🔥

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.
