Zuluboy's mother shared their conversation online where the little boy bragged about his ability to teach his gogo English when visiting her in the village.
In a Facebook video shared by the mom, Lujabe Siphe, on 4 March 2026, the toddler also detailed his efforts to teach other people, which have not been successful.
The toddler detailed that when he visits his grandmother in her village, he switches from speaking English to isiXhosa automatically. His reason was that his friends only knew the native language, adding that he attempted to teach them, but they showed no interest. To retain his friendship and ensure everyone is happy, he then resorts to speaking Xhosa.

The little boy went on to explain to Facebook user Lujabe Siphe that he had taught his grandmother the English language and was now able to communicate in it. He, however, noted that the second grandmother, who, just like him, has some teeth missing, was a difficult nut to crack, adding that she was fine only speaking the native language.
