LaConco praised for trying her best to speak Sotho

LaConco is the host of Ingane Yam’ and she is also a social media darling who has amassed a great following through being on Real Housewives of Durban. People were impressed last night when the KwaZulu Natal Native started speaking Sotho with her guest.

Social media was celebrating her ability to not just stick to Zulu but to broaden her horizons. This likely stems from the belief that Zulu people don’t learn other languages but she knocked these allegations out of the water completely. It’s always commendable when people leave their comfort zones to embrace another person’s culture.


Her guest did not deserve this treatment however as he had conceived another child while his girlfriend was in labour. It was a despicable story. I judged LaConco for being so blase about things in that case. It was horrendous. The show had everyone talking

Personal Thoughts
I think it’s great when people can embrace other people’s languages, it shows appreciation and care for the next person. I love that for LaConco. Hopefully it will dispel the very idea of Zulu people being hard headed about language. I will say though that I enjoy her on the show in general. She’s probably the only one who could sit there and intently listen to a man prattling on about absolute nonsense. She’s got the calm demeanor for it, I could never do it personally.
