Many netizens react to Maweni's "Zulu" name

Shortly after the online user questioned Maweni's Zulu name, many other social media netizens flooded the comment section with their questions. Here's what they had to say:

@naaledi_ commented:

"Exactly my question, why is that everything related to modern-day sangoma has Zulu innit."

@MrKupB replied:

"Sangoma is a zulu name. I'm pretty sure you Vendas also have names like Musanda waZswangamos, where you get names like Mulimisi and Mukondeleli."

@LordFinesseBots responded:

"She was probably initiated by a Zulu traditionalist. Just like all these fake Pastors changing their names to Blessings or Angel."

@Thabiso_Tatai said:

"A lot of people struggle with an identity crisis fam. On Heritage Day you’ll see people wearing Zulu attires while being Sotho, Tswana, Venda/Tsonga."
