    Yayyy, she mentioned Mama Africa! I love Miriam Makeba, so sad she had just passed. But I've grown up hearing her music in our home and recently wanted to hear again only a week or two ago and then she passed. It was just so wierd, cos I hadn't thought of her or the music for a good while, not years, but a good while, so yeah I was saddened by that news

    there is nothing wrong with what she is doing, as we are all entitled to do what we want to do. On the deceiving side she is doing no such thing. As a Xhosa speaking person I am glad she is taking an effort in teaching other people from other Countries our Language. in the video yes i do agree that there are few errors with how the words from Xhosa are written but her translation is 99% accurate. To the Guy who said what she is translating is incorrect,YOU should be proud that there is someone of your own culture that is doing this, you should not have criticised her but to have also shared some of our Xhosa words that other cultures would like to learn.

    I think your words and insight is wonderful... I am here simply because I had heard about this language and found it facinating, wanting to learn more. From what I understand, this is one of the original languages and the "click clack" sounds became lost into what became the many different languages of today. Very facinating to me.

She can handle English and !Xhosa fluently but I couldn't imagine ever mastering !Xhosa.
