South Africans respond to the actress's video

@JuanitaKhumalo reacted:

"I’m just going to shut up because every 3 months, I get trolled on Twitter for how I speak."

@lettymavuso57 commented:

"This is better. Have you listened to Mama Dee, the one who is building a mansion in the Eastern Cape😫?"

@kaonekario replied:

"It happens. She has to work in the USA. It helps if she sounds like them. Plus, please live in the States or anywhere long enough, and how they speak does rub off."

@Kabza__nova responded:

"🤣🤣 I was waiting for the South African accent to kick in, mara (but) niks. Flawless. They'd better book her now."

"She spoke about this a few months back. She underwent voice training to perfect her accent and secure roles in the US. I think it's on her IG."

@iitwasntgee commented:

"The thing is…if you move to Ghana, you’ll have to somewhat speak like Ghanaians. If you move to the UK, you’ll have to adjust to their way of speaking, etc., so you can integrate easily…I think it takes changing locations to understand this."

@LilMissSterious reacted:

"She’s an actress. Based in America. Living and working there. How is retaining a South African accent to her advantage?"

"I think she has to sharpen it at every opportunity for good acting roles, I get it."
