Lesego Thlabi, a local comedian and media personality, has divided Mzansi with her hilarious recent interview on eNCA.

Lesego was in full character as “Coconut Kelz” for the show and brought her unique South African brand of satire to TV screens across Mzansi.

The comedian made hilarious jabs at the state of SA with statements like:

“I only drink Woolworths strawberry sparkling water” and “Taps are for poor people”.

Coconut Kelz also commented on the recent racial scandal where Dianne Kohler Barnard was taken to SA’s Equality Court.
