Trevor Noah had South Africans in stitches when he presented at the Oscars.
Before presenting Black Panther’s Best Picture nomination, he told the star-studded audience: “Growing up as a young boy in Wakanda, I would see T’Challa flying over our village, and he would remind me of a great Xhosa phrase. “He says, ‘abelungu abazi ubu ndiyaxoka’, which means ‘In times like these, we are stronger when we fight together than when we try to fight apart.'”
His "inspirational" story drew applause from those who did not understand Xhosa. But those in Mzansi knew the actual translation was: 'White people don't know I'm lying'.
