Technical analysis
The dialect range of a few of the characters is confusing. Tshidi, Mazwi and Sphe speak in duo-lingual accents and frequently switch language codes. While this does match the dialect of Johannesburg in certain ways, it can make the characters seem less authentic and rather theatrical.
