Ntobeko Sishi lands new role in Laundry

In a previous report from Briefly News, actor turned singer Ntobeko Sishi landed a new role on Laundry.

Entertainment commentator Phil Mphela posted on X, but the reactions were not what some expected. Peeps were mostly distracted by the direct translation of the film, saying it is not accurate at all.

One opposer said:

"I am getting tired of this habit in Jozi, where they hire anyone who claims to know the Zulu language and work with them as voice-over or translators. Why don't they hire professionals? This is killing our language, translating wrong things. Laundry is not uhlanjululo in Zulu."
