[@MovieHypeSA]

Just realized Charlize Theron is African-American 😂😂😂

[@kemiolaleye7546]

I’m half South African and half Yoruba...this is hilarious

[@leejay2418]

Charlize has a wonderful Afrikaans accent. I forget she is South African

[@denalihedgehog]

Sounds like Yoruba speakers are all philosophers, based on their slang

[@N.BR500]

"Don't shake the chicken!!"

[@annevh9315]

Im Dutch and Afrikaans sometimes sounds like a drunk dutch person lmao. Love it.

[@blackspirit1129]

But where is "WHY ARE U RUNNING"??

[@Just-Kamal]

“Ile Oba tojo ewa lo bukun” is an adage in Yoruba language . Literal translation is “The king’s palace that got burnt would add beauty to it when reconstructed” its main meaning is that “ every cloud has a silver lining” it is often used to give assurance of hope when calamity befalls someone. Yoruba is “one” of the most complex languages.

I speak Dutch so trying to figure out the Afrikaans is fun ngl

[@chidinmaoguamanam9147]

Just a disclaimer:

[@mariaandeklerk4908]

Funny how she went straight to the dirty meaning of "pomp" and "stukkie" instead of pump and small piece. True South African 😂

[@victoriankambe3070]

Africa has come a long way. This was interaction was unimaginable way back when: 30 years ago.

[@brownbbydoll1777]

I love this

[@user-insight]

"The house of the chief when it's burnt down is even more beautiful" sounds like the chant to a government overthrowing rally
