Hulisani Ravele was left fuming after a follower showed no respect towards her language and culture.
The TV and radio personality who is Venda greeted her followers in TshiVenda, but one follower accused her of "insulting" them.
"Black people, sometimes we really are our own worst enemies...some of us have no respect for other people's languages and cultures," she said.

5. I don't care if they meant it as a joke because fact is there is NOTHING funny about looking down upon the language & culture of others.— Hulisani Ravele (@HulisaniRavele) May 23, 2017
