A new video showing a South African man singing in Zulu and performing a traditional dance at a petrol station has gone viral.
As people watch it you can hear them say: “His Zulu is proper. It’s as if he was born Zulu.”
The man is apparently 52 year old, Tim Boettiger, was caught on video performing a Zulu dance at a Caltex petrol station in Crompton Street, Pinetown, KZN.
“The surprise of the short clip is that this Zulu man is a mlungu! And judging by viewers’ responses, this mlungu – Tim Boettiger (52) – is maybe just what Mzansi needs to foster the love between black and white.”
In the video, Tim can be heard singing a Zulu song that goes: “Eyakwabani lentombi engadilozile.” It asks what is the surname of the woman not wearing any panties.
As he leads the song, people who are watching him can be heard singing along. As they continue with the chorus, he then dances.
The video was originally posted to Facebook yesterday and has been trending ever since.
Tim works as a promoter, and that’s how people got to take videos of him.
“When local shops have events, they hire me to entertain people,” said Tim, who is better known as Ndlovu.
Mthokozisi Nxumalo (36) said: “This is the world we love. The world where people laugh together, no matter the colour of their skin.”
