Once you become used to weird place names, it’s easy to dismiss them, but these places have the most bizarre names. They are people who live and party in cities and towns with such titles.
Skhumba Hlophe, Kaya 959 morning show co-host, heard of a place called ‘Khalambazo’ in Tembisa over the weekend and wondered whether there are any places with strange names.
Thomas and Skhumba in the Morning, asked Kaya 959 listeners whether there are any establishment or town/city names that they don’t understand, and why these places have such unusual names.
