Even though they are unable to communicate in English or do not have a matriculation certificate, some of the wealthiest and most well-known persons in Mzansi have still managed to earn a fortune for themselves. Some of our brightest stars continue to soar to new heights despite the fact that education is essential to achieving success in life.
Female Mzansi Celebrities Who Can’t Speak English Fluently
In Mzansi, finding work has been difficult for many of our youngsters, even those who have completed their matriculation requirements and even those who have earned degrees. Nevertheless, there are a few of our heroes who have achieved success in spite of the fact that they do not possess a matriculation certificate. Because of all of their hard work, some of them have earned an incredible amount of wealth. They are able to afford to live in mansions, drive luxury automobiles, and dress in the most recent fashions. They are able to live a good life for themselves thanks to their talent, despite the fact that they were unable to complete high school and have poor English language skills. It should come as no surprise that hard work is rewarded with positive outcomes.
There are some people who call South Africa home who do not have English as their first language and therefore struggle to communicate as fluently in English as they do in their mother tongues.
1. Sana Mchunu
Her role as “Zodwa” in the drama series Gomora, which aired on Mzansi Magic, is mostly responsible for her widespread fame. When it comes to the English language, it is well knowledge that the word “Zodwa” is an utter failure. It would appear that ‘Zodwa’ is not fluent in English, despite her best efforts to conceal the fact that she does not have a native command of the language.
The actress, now 44 years old, was born into a poor household in Soweto, and she did not begin her career in the entertainment industry until she was a significant amount older. Since Sana was pregnant when she was still a teenager, she was unable to continue her school and so did not graduate. After that, she came to the conclusion that she possessed a greater acting talent, which motivated her to look into pursuing a career in the acting field.
2. Thuthuka Mthembu
She is well recognized for her part as Nonka in the Zulu soap opera Uzalo, which airs on SABC 1 Zulu. A few months ago, this young woman, who is now 21 years old, was all over social media sites due to the fact that she cannot speak English.
Following a grammatical error that Thuthuka made in a Tweet, he was called a poor English speaker by his followers. She had no choice but to delete the tweet after being dragged to this point by her followers. Wow! Mzansi.
3. Makhadzi
She hails from Mashamba, which is located in the Limpopo province of South Africa. The young woman, who is 24 years old, reportedly explained that her command of the English language is inadequate, which is why she prefers to communicate in Sotho/pedi. The information was obtained from various sources.
This Matorokosi singer and dancer had been interviewed in the past by another talk show host; I’m not sure what they talked about, but Makhadzi used the phrase “public relations” instead of “public relations.” She was nonchalant by it despite the fact that it had been brought up on social media at some point.
4. Babes Wodumo
The Gqom diva, who is best known for the song “Hololo,” was recently called out on social media for having poor English language skills; yet, the 27-year-old woman seems unconcerned about the criticism because her career is her primary focus.
Babes Wodumo has stated unequivocally that she is not a native English speaker and that she has never attended a prominent private school; as a result, she does not owe anyone an English lesson; she is a proud Zulu speaker. Babes Wodumo has also stated that she does not owe anyone an English lesson. Her supporters concurred with her and urged that people should leave her alone so that she can speak English in the manner in which she chooses.
It should be noted that the purpose of this article is not to humiliate or criticize someone; rather, it is to serve as a reminder to readers that “English is not the master of brilliance.” If a person is unable to communicate in English, this does not indicate that they are stupid or unable to be successful in life. Rather, it simply indicates that they are unable to communicate in English.
