Just How Bad Is The English in Mzansi? Check This Out.

Just how good is your English? 

In the past, some South African celebrities like Babes Wodumo have been ridiculed for speaking broken English.

Wodumo, in her defence, said she doesn’t owe anyone proper English and that she’s a proud Zulu speaker. 

Do you also fall in Wodumo’s category? We recently asked our Zalebs followers on Facebook to ‘’begin a sentence with me’’ if they are good in English. 

As usual, they took the challenge headlong albeit some struggling with the assignment. A majority came up with hilarious responses!
