The creator uses sharp satire to expose the colonial double standards of language proficiency, effectively challenging the internalized prejudice against non-native English speakers. It is a poignant reminder that linguistic diversity is a strength, not a reason for ridicule in a decolonizing society.

What kind of nonsense be this one oh?

South African man speaking Nigerian pidgin English.
Na wow. Uh-uh. What is it they do like they sleep?
Ah my no cut am. I go cut am tomorrow.
Ah my.
>> [laughter] >> Ah my day baba waiting happen now. Give me petrol petrol.
Why petrol no expensive why? Brother you know Who know na wow. Give me capital I know is everything I be buying the clipper. Give me give me four clipper.
Four clipper? Four clipper is fine.
Ah I don't know how much be liter. The liter of the four clipper is ah three liter. Ah the petrol where they go? I know they go far not far. My friend you don't know how much is the the liter of three four clipper. Ah my leave that one no worry I go use am I go manage am.
>> I will never understand why as black people we make fun of people who don't know how to speak English properly. Like this language was forced on us by colonizers and it's okay for you not to understand it. Like why are people making fun of celebrities who don't know how to speak English?
And also, why are these questions being asked in English? Like Ma Who is a Zulu girl, why do they not find a Zulu what you call it? Why do they not find a Zulu presenter to ask her these questions in Zulu? Why do they not find someone who speaks Sepedi for Shandege to ask these questions in Pedi? And people fail in school because they don't understand the question. Not only because they can't answer it, but English is not our first language.
You will never see a black person or even a white person commenting on a video where a white person does not know how to speak English. They never make fun of them. They never do this. They don't even care. But when a black person does not know how to speak English, oh my gosh. You guys ridicule that person.
Some people just need to decolonize their minds because there's no way you're making fun of a person for not knowing how to speak English. English is not your first language. It's not my first language. Maybe make fun of that person for not knowing how to speak their language, their home language, but English uh-uh no like no These shows or whatever you call it, these channels that ask these celebrities questions, if you can see that this person is not fluent in English, look for a Zulu presenter. You guys can do that. Look for a Pedi presenter. Ma Who sings her songs in Zulu. Shandege sings her song in Pedi. So like why? Like why isn't Oh my god, why did she say that? They like oh my this annoys me so much.
The fact that we are actually multilingual as individuals in South Africa, that is a big deal alone. A lot of people only know one language. These white people that you guys want proximity to, they probably only know one language.
And what's crazy is that black people are the ones that make fun of other black people. I've never seen a white person in a in the comments saying, "Oh my god, this person can't speak English."
And also, do you know how nerve-racking it is to do an interview?
You are nervous, you have to speak English, English is not your first language, people are also always ridiculing you when you have to do these interviews. Obviously, when you get there you are nervous as hell. Even though you practiced, even though you did, but these people are human beings, man. And then people are going to come here and say like guys, stop it. Let's stop it. Let us stop it, please.
Some of you guys need to stop speaking pigeon English because my sister, some of you guys are embarrassing us now.
Ha! Everyday pigeon pigeon.
Waiting is up waiting to help. Stop speaking pigeon English. It's not cute.
Seems like you've been around. Seems like you've dated a lot of these guys.
Seems like you are that girl. You are for the streets. You are for the ratatata. Stop speaking pigeon Oh yeah, let me teach you guys more pigeon English. So, when you greet, I would like how far?
And that that's not how far like the distance. No, it has nothing to do with distance. It means keep up like how are you?
You understand? And then when you answer you going to be like I did.
You understand? When you say I did, it means you are right. You are right.
And then when the conversation continues, I'm going to be like waiting this up. You understand? Like what's up?
Waiting this up.
That is what's up. Keep up. I'm tall.
And then when you answer, you going to be like I'm on what's this up though.
Like nothing is up as keep it up and I forgot. You understand? Yeah, and then Yeah, you guys use that one body now.
Oh, if you see go, you answer like go. I don't I don't video that. I don't video that. I don't video that. I don't video that. Oh, if you see go, eh guy by if you go like you say guy.
