South Africans Correct the Blunder
While some individuals diligently tagged their favourite comedians, some South Africans took exception to Nick Cannon’s mention of cities within South Africa and not the country itself. They politely corrected Cannon, highlighting that Cape Town and Johannesburg are cities within South Africa, not separate countries. Here are a few comments:
@AMG_Owner:
I don’t know if South Africa will have a good representation because the entire country struggles to express themselves in English. Only Trevor Noah and Eugene Khoza can… You might have to exclude South Africa bro 🙅♂️🙅♂️🙅♂️
@ojkdua:
Sorry sir, Cape Town and Johannesburg are not countries but cities in a country called South Africa
@Ru7even:

@LastBhungane:
