Separate question: ref Steph’s video of Miriam Makeba’s The Click Song, and the man speaking on this video: both seemed to have an especially wide opening of the mouth, displaying more teeth than might be typical from a European speaker (or others?)
Is that perhaps a result of this form of language/ speaking?
Am I imagining something that is not usual, or can Telemachus or other visitors/ residents of SA clarify this?

The video is just a trifle out of date at this point only in the sense that Swaziland renamed itself Eswatini a few years ago. I was pretty taken aback when that happened, saying to myself “Eswatini?!? Where the heck is that?”. (Refreshing my memory of the facts of the matter, I see that the renaming was apparently in 2018, yet I failed to notice it until well after that; I think I was looking up World Cup qualification scores or something like that at the time.)

Oh, yes, and he minds his P’s and Q’s! How he can get that perfectly crisp enunciation… ayayay.

I’m sure Trump is aware of this. Basically, it explains that we need to become the “arsenal” of democracy again. We presently are not. We need to get ready if we want peace through strength.
