It is a secret that English is not our bongo brothers and sisters’ favorite language, but when it comes to business, especially outside the country, they cannot do without it.
As a result, they speak it and sometimes kill it. Zuchu, one of your favorite bongo performers, has experienced this.
The Kwikwi hitmaker took to social media to announce that she will be performing in Eldoret on the 11th of next month, but here’s where she ran into trouble:
instead of saying 11th, her poster read 11st. “Kenyans get your tickets. Live performance Eldoret Kenya. Sunday, 11st December 2022,” she wrote.
With over 5 million Instagram followers alone, this was not going to go overlooked. However, Zuchu is not the only Tanzanian celebrity who has struggled with the English language. Diamond Platinumz, her boss and purported lover, has already been down this trail before.
Diamond’s English was criticized after he conversed with Nadia Nakai on the Young African And Famous show. The stunning South African rapper inquired about Diamond’s age, to which the Bongo musician replied, “31st-years-old.”
After the show, the world had a lot to say about his English. Netizens were having a great time at Diamond’s expense, with tweets that had us giggling for days.
Harmonize has also had some blunders when it comes to speaking English. The good news is that these stars are not deterred, as their music continues to dominate in East Africa and throughout Africa.
Zuchu is the current East African queen, with her songs being the most viewed female artist in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi.
In a recent post made by the Wasafi team on their Instagram post which boasts over 4.3 followers, the team announced that Zuchu had clinched six titles.
According to a report from them, Zuchu is currently the most subscribed female artist in Africa on Youtube.
