In a scene that has left many South Africans both amused and bewildered, controversial figure Ngizwe Mchunu stirred up chaos at Durban’s Gateway Mall on Heritage Day. The former Ukhozi FM radio personality became the center of attention after a video surfaced, showing him interrupting patrons at Mugg n Bean to deliver an unsolicited history lesson about the significance of the day.
Captured by Durban journalist Sihle Mavuso and shared on social media, the footage depicts Mchunu—dressed in traditional attire—assertively addressing a table of diners. “I’m here to teach white people about Heritage Day,” he proclaimed, much to the surprise and dismay of unsuspecting customers enjoying their meals. Mavuso’s tweet included the caption: “WATCH: Security officers had to be called in to reign in Ngizwe Mchunu at Gateway Mall in Durban.”
As the video made the rounds online, it quickly sparked a torrent of reactions. Many netizens expressed their frustration and disbelief at Mchunu’s antics. Comments flooded in, with one user, @AkanimiltonM, bluntly stating, “This guy is a fool yerrr,” while another, @iAmSpreadlove, lamented, “Imagine trying to eat some lunch and then being forced to listen to a history lesson.”
While some might view Mchunu’s actions as an impromptu cultural lecture, the majority seem to agree that his behavior is increasingly disruptive. Calls for his arrest echoed throughout social media, with users expressing a desire for accountability and urging authorities to intervene in what they see as a growing pattern of public disturbances.
