Renowned Zimbabwean comedian Learnmore Jonasi has sparked conversation online after opening up about cultural identity and the importance of embracing African heritage.
In a candid social media statement, Jonasi addressed criticism aimed at his comedy, which often draws inspiration from his rural upbringing and personal experiences.
The comedian said his jokes are rooted in real life and not intended to mock anyone, adding that some negative reactions come from people who were raised to feel ashamed of certain aspects of African culture.
Jonasi said openly embracing his accent, village life, and background can make some people uncomfortable because of long-standing social conditioning shaped by colonial influences.
Despite the criticism, the comedian said he holds no bitterness and remains committed to proudly representing his heritage through his work.
