"Bathong! I don't know if that's oblivion or what. I used to be a presenter for SABC Sepedi Current Affairs show and every time I interviewed Mmusi he would speak pure Tswana. Obviously, I wouldn't expect you to listen to Sepedi radio but Mmusi would speak Tswana on many occasions."

"Mmusi speaks fluent Setswana. I have heard him on the news which you obviously do not watch. How many South African languages do you speak? Do not call them vernac please."
