@Tripple____M There is something called seniority. He is the one who all found in the team, been the star of the team for the past seasons and players choose who wears the armband and clearly it seems his peers see him as a leader in their team

Explain to me like a kid why Bukayo Saka gets the armband in the absence of Martin Odegaard. We have better leaders in the team, no?

@Tripple____M He is saving himself for the World Cup. I would too if I was him. They kick him a lot and he is not protected enough by the refs… everyone in the team gotta chip in he is one person

Some cult like section of the Arsenal fan base thinks that Bukayo Saka is immune to criticism. He's not. He's been average this season and we have to say it. Every player gets smoke in this team. No exceptions

@KabeloMohlah02 Not South Africa though but always stay vigilant on the roads. Ex hijack and kidnap survivor. Scenes like this trigger me

We are no longer safe 😭😭💔😭💔

@Pablozw1_ Just like Zimcare

How old were you when you realised that Salisbury Society for the Care of the African Mentally Handicapped (SASCAM) is where the slur originates? Uri Sascam 😂🤦

@jahman_adamski Mawonero akasiyana maybe let’s ask @Specsavers

@SebzHama Ok so my check is just utter nonsense then cool 😎

Hey Mukoma Hope looks like he fit as a fiddle with his newly released footage. It’s this evidence enough?

@JUST_MZANSI @mncedisi_mengu Konje eyakini? Uzoyenzani manje? Hamba uyodakelwa abanye sihlama

@SebzHama @mncedisi_mengu Remove our flag

Zimbabwe stands with Jonasi 🇿🇼!

@zulukingggg @zimlive So you realise it’s more complex than just obvious. Lebo will not win this case . He is reaching. We can argue the semantics all we can cos language is rich. What is he is going to base it on? Technically it’s a lion but also refers to the King. Ngumlilo wamaphepha. Asitolikwa

You’re proving my point without realising it. You’re breaking down vocabulary, but this was never just about isolated words like ibhubesi or isilo. It’s about a praise chant — a cultural expression where meaning is carried through symbolism, tone, and context, not just direct translation. Yes, Nguni languages share roots. Yes, terms differ across groups. But that doesn’t cancel the cultural weight behind “Nants’ ingonyama” as it’s used in that specific context. You can’t strip it down linguistically and then claim that’s the full meaning — that’s oversimplifying it. And saying “I know what it means” while dismissing the deeper context is contradictory. Knowing language is one thing, understanding cultural expression is another. Whether the case wins or not is a legal matter — but culturally, this isn’t as shallow as you’re trying to make it sound.

📹 A South African artist Lebo M is suing Zimbabwean comedian Learnmore Jonasi for $20 million in a Carlifonia court in the United States for alleged "damaging misrepresentations, defamatory conduct and unlawful commercial exploitation." The dispute comes after a joke over the opening chant in Lion King: "Nans'iNgonyama!" It's a Zulu praise chant which means: "Here comes the king!* During shows and TV interviews in the United States, Jonasi joked the chant meant: "Look! It's a lion. Oh my God, it's a lion." Lebo M was offended. Jonasi says when Lebo M called, he told him "this was just a joke, and this is your chance to educate people, people are listening." Admitting that he didn't know the deeper meaning of the chant, Jonasi, who is Shona, says he offered to do a clarifying video with Lebo M who responded by calling him a "self-hating Negro." The discussion broke down at that moment, says Jonasi. It has since been revealed that another comedian, Carl Joshua Ncube, has was the first to make the joke for Dstv’s Showmax.

@zulukingggg @zimlive You literally said it’s rooted in Zulu heritage. In Zulu a lion is a ‘bhubesi’ and ironically the King is called ‘ Isilo’. The term is usually associated with King Mswati whose kingdom is sovereign. I know what it means, just stating that it will not stick.

You’re mixing facts with assumptions and then jumping to conclusions. Yes, it’s Nguni — no one denied that. And yes, words can have a direct translation and a deeper contextual meaning. That’s exactly the point. Language isn’t just about literal translation — it’s about meaning, culture, and context. Reducing a praise chant to “there is a lion” while ignoring what it represents is exactly why people are pushing back. And saying Lebo should have explained it back then doesn’t make sense. He was part of creating something authentic, not responsible for policing how every single person interprets or jokes about it decades later. You can have your opinion about the case, that’s fine. But don’t pretend this is as simple as a dictionary translation — it’s deeper than that, whether you want to admit it or not.

@Derahobs What causes this? Is it the food? Don’t say breastfeeding cos some don’t have kids but it’s like this

Real men love them sággy

@zulukingggg @zimlive It’s Nguni not only Zulu, you’re no the only ones with a monarch. The direct translation still means “ there is a lion” it’s only the context which is deeper and means a King. Lebo could have explained that the 1st time the movie came out. He will lose this one. Uyafosta

I stand with Lebo M on this one. Cultural expressions are not just “jokes” — they carry history, identity, and meaning. The “Nants’ Ingonyama” chant is iconic and deeply rooted in Zulu heritage, not something to be casually misrepresented for laughs. Comedy has freedom, yes — but it also comes with responsibility. When something so globally recognised is twisted into misinformation, it stops being harmless and starts being disrespectful. There’s nothing wrong with humour, but there’s everything wrong with misrepresenting someone else’s culture, especially when given a chance to correct it. Respect the culture. Respect the meaning.

@DannyNdebele @zimlive It is cos why has he not told the masses all this time the movie was not made yesterday

@zimlive The arrogance of Jonasi!! He mispresents someone’s work and tells him it’s up to you to educate the masses! As if that’s not bad enough the guy wants further mileage by making a joint video with the original artist! Jonasi should respect other people’s work

@akuahwritess Emotional betting. You will die poor if you attempt this

Put all your life savings

@matigary It will not stick, if I am Learnmore I will counter sue and he has to be the one paying. He doesn’t own the language. Why has he not explained it to the world yet all this time? Using emotions and not logic.

South African composer Lebo M has filed a $20 million lawsuit in a U.S. federal court against Zimbabwean comedian Learnmore Jonas’s Mwanyenyeka. Lebo alleges misrepresentation, defamation and cultural misappropriation of the chant “Nants’ Ingonyama". “Nants’ Ingonyama,” is closely associated with global stage and film productions such as Lion King.

@kwirirayi You will never be happy with your own people. Zimbabweans will claim you when you’re famous. This young man worked hard to get to where he is today. He is more popular outside of Zimbabwe. He does not need to change jokes to please everyone. If you’re not his target audience bye

I want to put it out there. Learnmore Jonasi is a nice kid. Full disclosure I have asked him for an interview and he has chosen not to. But this is not an issue. My gripe with him is has an enthusiasm for making Zimbabweans look stupid. He has better material. He should do that. I disagree with Lebo M that he is a wannabe. I just wish he didn't sacrifice us for his fame.

@sinovuyo001 Over 20yrs now

Who can honestly say they've had the same phone number for the last five years??

@EhisOjeks That’s caps they’d be talking about. Players get one when they would represent the country. It’s a British thing but most games are originally their sport hence the tradition and terms

I’ve always wanted to ask, why do we say “caps” when talking about country appearances??

@TshongogweNhali @bla_bidza Facts are facts go and heal

@bla_bidza Would have been nice Chief, unfortunately it’s not true. AI is not always correct I am sure we all know, some of these records need updating. I drive the bots route every 2 weeks by the way, even the naked eye will tell u on this map..

Speaking of wars, did you know that Africa’s LONGEST uninterrupted stretch of straight road is found in Zimbabwe? It is a 35.7-kilometre section of the A5 highway between Chegutu and Kadoma. This stretch was deliberately designed during the era of Rhodesia, when military defence infrastructure was often integrated into civilian infrastructure. The road was engineered to be perfectly straight so that, in times of conflict or national emergency, it could serve as an improvised runway for jet fighters to land and take off. In other words, it was not just a highway but also a piece of strategic military planning embedded within the country’s transport network. Know your country. 🇿🇼
