Meanwhile, others weren't convinced she couldn't speak the language, noting that it was one of the most spoken languages in South Africa, used by approximately 24% of the population, according to the South Africa Gateway.

"I don't believe that a South African born to a Zulu family can't speak a single isiZulu sentence."
philpsmasz said:
"There is no way you wouldn't know isiZulu. It's the easiest language in SA, one of those languages that make sense."
kh__mashiane called Cyan Boujee out:
"I've heard her speak isiZulu, bad, bad acting."
kaluajh3 argued:
"The majority of South Africans can't complete a sentence in any South African language, especially those in the media space. 12 official languages, and they can only speak English."
