South Africans were not aware of the Zulu culture abroad and expressed their shock online. The woman went off on TikTok and asked people from Mzansi to back off:
“I know South Africa is not coming for our Zulu.”
The woman appeared to be agitated and defensive as she asked South Africans to mind their business:
“You better call Malema or somebody. You better call Tyla.”
She threatened to come for South Africans and told them to worry about their unstable electricity and joblessness. The American Zulu culture is very different from Shaka Zulu’s, which is still practised and celebrated in Mzansi.
In America, the culture is called The Zulu Social Aid or Pleasure Club. It was founded in the early 1900s. While the parade is popular in New Orleans, many have criticised the use of blackface, arguing that it is a form of cultural appropriation.
People from the motherland filled the comments section of the post to clap back at the American woman.

“Telling Zulu people who live in KwaZulu-Natal, who speak Zulu, to mind their business and learn the culture, is insane coming from an African American.”
