Comedian Kevin Hart Adopts South African Name Much To Mzansi’s Delight

Kevin Hart, a comedian from the United States, has been having a blast in South Africa as part of his Reality Check stand-up tour. He also attended the Johannesburg premiere of his film Die Hart last week, where he met Siv Ngesi, Lasizwe Dambuza, comedians Celeste Ntuli and Trevor Gumbi, and other local celebrities.

Hart had such a good time in South Africa embracing his African roots that he adopted a South African name. His many local fans adore him and have even suggested that his wife adopt one as well.
