Twenty-three-year old Veli Moses Mackenzi, is homeless man who teaches isiZulu to motorists on busy Empire road in Braamfontein, Johannesburg.
Mackenzie also known as ‘Jovies’ teaches the language to motorists using only a placard that he uses for his ‘word of the day.’ He boasts that he once taught isiZulu to a man from Wits University who used Mackenzie’s word of the day to compile a list that he eventually memorised.
