#Uzalo: Nyawo’s English Issa Lot!
Uzalo’s much loved police officer, Nyawo makes sure the viewers breathe through the wound with his bombastic English words.

English is an interesting yet complex language. Whilst some are able to have a firm understanding of it, others struggle to comprehend certain nuances of the language.

There are a few South African actors that slay the English language through their on-screen characters such as, Rhythm City’s David Genaro and Wallet from Skeem Saam.

BUT… there’s another character whose command of the Queen’s language remains legendary – Nyawo from Uzalo.

Last night episode caused mayhem on Twitter after the lively and comical police officer discovered that he suffers from a disease called… wait for it…  Pneumonoultramicroscopicsillicovolcanoconiosis – a lung disease caused by inhaling sand dust.

Those that watched last night’s episode, were left hella baffled!  How does one even begin to pronounce such a word?
