Comment. The current version of the article only barely hints at it, but there is some indication that this word might be a notable one, and that there's enough sources to justify an article about its history and significance. Its notoriety (in South African English, at least) appears to derive from a controversial use by Jacob Zuma in a 2006 speech, criticizing same-sex marriage. Evidently this led to significant controversy, and coverage that seems to have continued. References turn up at Google News, Google Books, and Google Scholar.[1][2][3] I would be interested, in particular, in opinions from editors with South African expertise, as to whether there's enough out there to support this article as part of Category:Pejorative terms for people and/or Category:Zulu words and phrases.--Arxiloxos (talk) 21:26, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
