One chap, Clayton was amazed after seeing the Mzansi name and ran to TikTok to find out if anybody else saw it:
“Guys, what is Vusi Nhlapho doing in America? I’m watching this new Shonda Rhimes show on Netflix and look here, Vusi Nhlapho. Unless I’m mistaken, that is a South African name. What is Vusi Nhlapho doing in America?”
The show has received great reviews so far, with fans begging for a second season. Shonda Rhimes is known for her brilliant storytelling and inclusivity in her productions, making her standout amongst her peers.
Adding a South African name to this huge production and casting a female black lead just proved her dedication to disrupting the norm and her revolutionary spirit in her celebrated craft in Hollywood.
The gent was amazed and captioned his well-performing clip:
“Ariana, what are you doing there? Am I bugging? There’s no context.”
South Africans linked the name to Mzansi’s famous housekeeper, Mbali Nhlapho and assumed it was her son.
