“The way Sol Phenduka and Ghost Lady were so quiet today, I just hope Zulus took something from the silence and now understand how important it is to know other languages.”

This post was followed by others with a similar narrative, eventually forcing Sol to address the noise.

His response was:

“I understand Sesotho and can speak Sesotho a bit. Growing up ekasi, you're bound to understand it. In fact, I did a Lesedi FM interview last week in Sesotho.

"Ghosty, I’m not sure, also she didn't grow up in a Gauteng kasi so I doubt hers is strong. There are many factors that go into knowing a language that you never learned in school.

"I wouldn't expect someone who grew up in Seshego and still based in Limpopo to be fluent in isiZulu.”

“Nina niyacaka because the same thing happened to Mac G when Big Zulu and Khuzani were on the podcast and you never said anything about multilingual.”
