I know sometimes I'm wrong, I'm not trying to convince you I'm right all the time.

@joseph_kalimbwe Your perspective matters. Especially when you raise curious thoughts. It is not just characters you are floating over the internet, it is perception, it is information, it is emotions and more, which shapes how we think about Zambia and Zambians. Especially with your influence.

That’s kind. But South Africans generally have a soft spot for Zambians. I doubt if my presence on Twitter did in anyway whatsoever change the perception of how they thought of you as a Zambian. All in all, Let Love Lead 🙏🏾❤️

Bro @joseph_kalimbwe is the most influential Zambian on Twitter/X and its not even close. I don't think he even knows the continental influence he has on X. I went to SA and someone asked about Joseph. What a guy 🔥🔥

@iamSegopi @xghana_ I never said it was a joke. He literally explained what the phrase means. That's the literal meaning basically. Lebo doesn't want the literal translation out there, because he thinks it sounds stupid, because the symbolic meaning is more interesting.

@iamSegopi @philpkslick @xghana_ Ok please also explain how different this was from when Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner who actually acted in The Lion King as Timon and Pumba are being told the meaning of the song... Lebo M is not on record anywhere all these 32 years of the film and song x.com/ubekim/status/…

@xghana_ Lebo M is scared of white people They said the same thing as Jonasi Lebo will lose them at court case anyway . .

At some point in life, a man loses everything. People leave. Life tests him. In that silence, he either rebuilds himself-or loses himself completely.

@ouattara_ben @philpkslick @xghana_ Hence, we refer to context. I use the context of the word bitch. It has different meanings in dofferent contexts. Learnmore might have made the joke out of ignorance but the moment it was explained to him he became informed yet still chose to misinterpret was a call for violence

@ouattara_ben @philpkslick @xghana_ Not really. Lebo M is saying context matters. Learnmore is not a Zulu speaker i afforded him the explanation but he refused to accept it amd vowed to continue misrepresenting the lyrics. This affects Lebo M's credibility in songwriting which can make him lose potential deals.

@iamSegopi @philpkslick @xghana_ Lebo M is basically suing reality. His $27 million case boils down to: “Everyone who translates these Zulu words arrives at the same meaning, but I need them to use MY metaphorical version instead.”

@HimmingBird_ie It is not a problem when it does not affect you financially.Lebo M's career is dependent mostly on writing music. He also has a right to peotect his income. If left this matter is left unattended he may lose future work due to his intergrity being questioned.Look at it both ways.

@ouattara_ben @philpkslick @xghana_ Lebo M reached out to Jonasi to explain the lyrics, which have gone viral unlike Seth Rogen & Billy Eichner and it was the only time we know they said that.Jonasi vowed to continue misinterpreting the song even after it was explained to him. That is deliberate sabotage to Lebo M.

@iamSegopi @philpkslick @xghana_ His translation is literal, Lebo lawyers acknowledge “ingonyama” literally translate to “lion,” but argue it’s used as a “royal metaphor” invoking kingship Godfrey pointed that Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner gave a nearly identical translation during a 2019 Lion King press junket

@keeprunning23 @SavvyMav3rick @Joe__Bassey Ingonyama is literally a synonym to the Zulu king. How is it not actionable when he is already addressed as such. He misinterpreted the context in the explanation of the joke. Lebo M is a composure and his income derives from the songs, misrepresenting them may affect his bag.

@iamSegopi @SavvyMav3rick @Joe__Bassey 😂😂😂it doesn’t matter if hes Zulu he wasn’t wrong. Gooogle it. The nuance that Lion means King in Lebo’s song is not actionable in court and Learnmore is not required to know it to speak. We all know why Lebo is suing lets not act brand new

In South Africa, many black people have never even eaten abalone. Yet we mostly see it on TV when people are being arrested for poaching it. That alone tells a story.

This thing that we must support Fikile Mbalula against the AfriForum on the basis of him being merely black, is NONSENSE. We will support black leaders that stand with black people. What has Fikile Mbalula done for black people? Everytime we share stories of corruption, with EVIDENCE, he looks the other way. EVIDENCE that impacts service delivery AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE. Let the AfriForum finish him.

@Briantaku @xghana_ @MariaZest1 Presidents are public property and in most democratic countries are allowed to be criticised or mocked. In Jonasi's case he misinterpreted the context of the song.He was not telling the joke he was explaining it.Lebo M reached out to him but he refused to listen.He will in court.

@iamSegopi @xghana_ @MariaZest1 Mocking ≠ discrediting. If that were true, Saturday Night Live would be “discrediting” every United States president weekly. Satire and criticism aren’t the same as a calculated attempt to destroy credibility. This is exaggerated.

@abednego082 @xghana_ Lebo M has a case guys. He is a writer and composer and that explanation to the joke implies that he might have lied to Disney. What if Disney dows not want to hire him cos his intergrity is in question.This joke has direct financial implications cos people will question his work

@Briantaku @xghana_ @MariaZest1 He will argue that this affects his current and future income. What Jonasi did affects his intergrity as a composer and writer. If he leaves it as it is, it might imply that he lied to Disney. If he wins he will be financially compensated.

@xghana_ @MariaZest1 Maybe in a traditional African court Lebo M would win. The best he can hope for is to squeeze an apology. Either way Learnmore gets free publicity for his work . Big win
