Commenting on a post by X blogger @_LeratoMabuzaM, Mzansi had this to say:
@Lisa_Akh said:
“I loved her ‘Yoh’ I was like ‘Nee maan, she is coloured from Mzansi’.”
@JUSTouch19 said:
“That yoh just makes every South African proud.”
@montanhahh said:
“Tyla does not have to change for these Americans, they are the ones who are obsessed.”
@brownskinnono shared:
“Thuso has had to take accent and dialect classes as an actor. Even actors in the US have to take them if the character is from a different state. As a singer, Tyla doesn’t have to. They are both talented women, and South Africans should be proud.”
@GhostKea
“You can’t compare the two! Thuso is an actress, of course her accent won’t be the same! Tyla is a singer. Different strokes for different folks.”
@Matema_
“Tyla is was we thought Trevor Noah and Thuso Mbedu would be for South Africans, I love her so much.”
@EdgedtoGully said:
“Thuso’s accent is so cringe. Love Tyla’s authenticity.”
