You know how one caller can just unlock a whole conversation? So we got a call from Ona… and immediately the studio lost it. Because if you’re South African, you already know what’s coming: “Ona 1? Ona 2? Ona 3?”

And that’s when it hit us… your name decides your fate in this country. If your name is Anele? Yoh… you’ve been fighting your whole life: “Nelly the Elephant…” Thato? Sharp. Simple. Painful: “Thato Potato.” And then there are those names that people don’t even TRY to get right… they just remix it completely: Lethlogonolo? “Hello… shongololo?”
