      Nkosi Nkululeko is African American, the descendant of enslaved Africans. Both of his parents are African American.

      Oh. But his name and surname is South African (Zulu). So his parents are South African

      Leby, Nkosi is a personal friend. He would appreciate you adopting him and appreciating his work. African Americans are the descendants of enslaved Africans. Many of us have adopted African names or have been given names by our parents. Our names have profound meanings and are chosen with much thought.

      He has our name and surname so we're adopting him as ours, as South African. Only a South African or descendant of SA can have those name, either umZulu or umXhosa.
