SA: fake US accents

Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, South Africa

Mzansi Afrika complains about the use of “fake American accents” by promo ads especially on music radio [1]………But this whole adopting of the American accent thing, especially when you've never set foot in America – I just don't get it. What's wrong with our own ethnic African accents? Why do you have to be a pseudo-American to be cool? Frankly, I find it annoying.
