It’s one of the most emotional, challenging, and unsaid realities in many South African households being treated as the "family ATM."

In this powerful edition of I Know I'm Not The Only One on Afternoons with Zweli on 947, Zweli and the 947 family take on the raw complexities of financial expectations, lifestyle assumptions, and the guilt that comes with setting money boundaries.

The episode unpacks:


The "ATM" Pressure: How success, employment, or visible lifestyle habits lead to endless financial demands from extended family.


The Cost of Saying No: The guilt trips, judgment, and emotional ostracization that occur when you establish firm boundaries.


Extreme Measures: Heartbreaking listener stories, including one caller who purposely pretended to be broke just to stop the financial pressure.


Protecting Your Wellbeing: Practical ways to navigate family expectations without compromising your mental health or personal financial future.

Tune in for a deeply cathartic, honest, and relatable conversation about love, money, and self-preservation.

Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli. He keeps you in the loop with everything from music and movies to sport and pop culture.

A text that just says "Hi" with no follow-up. A sudden, unannounced phone call when a quick text would do. Or worse, a 35-minute voice note that could have been two bullet points.

In this hilarious and deeply relatable edition of Word on The Street on Afternoons with Zweli on 947, Zweli and the 947 family take on modern communication etiquette and the daily digital habits that drive us all up the wall.

The conversation breaks down:


The Voice Note Offenders: Where do we draw the line between a quick update and a full-blown podcast episode?


Unannounced Phone Calls: Is calling without texting first officially an aggressive act in 2026?


"Hi" Without Context: Why sending a lone greeting and waiting for a reply creates unnecessary texting anxiety.


Respecting People's Time: Finding the right balance between convenience, tone, and digital boundaries.

Tune in to laugh, vent, and figure out whether you're guilty of any of South Africa's worst communication pet peeves!
