In one of the videos, a man identified as Tondani, who introduced himself as a traditional Zulu man from South Africa, engaged Ebo Noah in a conversation about African heritage and identity.

According to Tondani, many Zulus trace their roots to West Africa, which he believes creates a strong cultural and historical connection between South Africans and Ghanaians.

The remarks appeared to resonate deeply with Ebo Noah, who used the moment to preach unity among Africans. The Ghanaian social media personality emphasised the importance of love, togetherness and peaceful coexistence among people on the continent despite their different backgrounds.

His comments quickly attracted reactions online, with many netizens praising him for promoting pan-African values at a time when division and anti-foreign sentiments continue to dominate discussions in South Africa.
