Examples of xhosa in a Sentence

1. Siya Kolisi:

   With the food packages that we drop off, we are adding messages in the local dialect of Xhosa, because this is predominately for the Xhosa areas, we put in instructions there for the masks - all in Xhosa - on how to put it on... But the most important is this : if you want people to stay home, tell them why. You can't just tell someone to stay home and not give them anything.

2. Trevor Noah:
