Trevor Noah has once again captured the hearts of South Africans, this time with his impressive fluency in isiXhosa. The award-winning comedian and TV host, who recently made headlines as the host of the Grammy Awards, delighted Mzansi when his close friend, Khaya Dlanga, shared a viral TikTok video showcasing Noah speaking his mother tongue. In the video, Noah, full of energy, proudly shows off his perfectly cut slices of bread, enthusiastically asking his friends, “Uyazbona leza zslice?” (Do you see these slices?).
Fans were quick to applaud Noah’s isiXhosa skills, praising his accent and the way he effortlessly navigated the language, further solidifying his connection to his roots. The comedian, who has spent much of his career abroad, seemed to be in his element as he shared a lighthearted moment with his friends. His natural ease with the language reminded many of his deep ties to South Africa, despite his international fame.
Noah’s ability to speak isiXhosa comes as no surprise to many, given his South African background. However, seeing him embrace it so casually and confidently on a global stage left South Africans beaming with pride. The video has since sparked a wave of admiration across social media, with fans commenting on how much they missed the comedian’s presence in the country, further reinforcing how much Noah truly embodies Mzansi’s spirit.
