South African celebrities Mihlali Ndamase and DJ Zinhle have found themselves at the centre of online ridicule after screenshots of them commenting under Kevin Hart's TikTok video surfaced on X on Wednesday, 19 August 2026. The post, shared by @MkhwanaziTl, shows the two verified local stars among several fans flooding the American comedian's comment section with praise.

Hart had posted a video of himself dancing to Uzizwa Kanjani, the 2025 hit track by Jazzworx, MaWhoo, and Thukuthela, while on holiday. The clip clearly resonated with South African fans and celebrities alike, though it was the celebrities' reactions that caught Mzansi's eye.

Mzansi weighs in

The post quickly drew sharp responses from netizens, many of whom poked fun at the celebrities for the very behaviour that frustrates their local fanbases:

@SireOfNations said: "our celebrities are always in the comments of these American people like they are next door neighbours meanwhile at home they can't even reply to a normal person dm from two years ago"

@MkhwanaziTl replied: "True"

@Radebe_SE offered a different perspective: "Nah they're just hyping the fact that he's dancing to a South African track"

@MkhwanaziTl pushed back: "We call that fanning; just said it"

@madlaminike quipped: "'No one is bigger than the program' 😭😭😭"

@MkhwanaziTl responded: "I guess"

While some users argued the celebrities were simply proud that a global star was dancing to a local song, the dominant sentiment leaned toward gentle mockery. The irony of well-known public figures showing up instantly in Hart's comments while their own followers wait years for a reply struck a nerve with many South Africans online.
