An American woman went online to tell South Africans that they messed with the wrong country. Some African Americans and people within Mzansi were warring online after a clip of a Louisiana parade unpleasantly depicted Zulu culture. The US lady then went on to say that people picked a fight with a "bunch of voodoo kids", which SA made fun of.

Let the battle begin

The hostility between some Americans and South Africans began when a clip of some Americans in a Zulu costume began circulating online. Many in Mzansi thought that the outfit was a caricature of the Zulu culture and decided to educate some Americans on it. Some, however, didn't take it too well, resulting in a back-and-forth on multiple platforms.

Some Americans decided to back off and realised that South Africans aren't people to mess with online. People across the country weren't afraid of the lady and said that sangomas were far more effective than she was talking about.
