Nota alleged that the Mzansi star Trevor was paid a lot of money to speak ill of the former South African President Jacob Zuma, eventually destroying his reputation. Nota took aim at Trevor's ethnicity being a mix of Xhosa and Swiss-German to him allegedly being racist.

“Trevor Noah stop talking on black people dog, you’re not black, your mother is black but you’re not, you’re not Jewish. Your blackness is not passed down through your mother, you’re a white boy, you’re Belgian, your Father is Belgian, if your father was Zulu you’d be Zulu.

“You were a tool to destroy Zuma’s reputation; they paid you so well to destroy Zuma’s reputation that they rewarded you by sending you to Viacom in the States. After you were finished with Zuma’s reputation, that gave you a good reputation, you did a good job on Zuma so you can do the same thing on Trump, now that Trump is gone they don’t need you anymore.”

@EmDee9 said:

"Not sure about the rest, but I completely agree about him being used as a tool to destroy Zuma’s reputation. After Zuma, the jokes about SA presidents stopped. He never joked about Phalaphala or anything that had to do with CR."

@alan_sithole advised:

"If you don't understand comedy, you need to stay away from it. No one`s reputation was finished by jokes."

@unethicalz claimed:

"Out of all languages, he just chose to speak facts."

@Mvemve_Ka_Ndaba shared:

"But seriously, guys, Trevor had like three shows dedicated to Zuma.Ever since Cyril became president he suddenly lost interest in South African politics after bieng the main joker for years. Dont play the man. Play the ball."

@kholomokolo argued:

"Trevor has about 6 minutes of Zuma jokes in about 4 hours worth of stand ups. Trevor took over TDS spent 7/years , and when he left they tried many replacements until the original host came back. If he only got there because of Zuma he would have been replaced within a month."
