Wait isn't her name Melanie?
Who gives a .................
And?
The Young American
There really is no story to small when it comes the race.
Slow news day huh
I suspect I couldn't say it whatever way she pronounces her name.
Mmmm. Really very important. So newsworthy.
***BREAKING***
Reclaims? After the first slight misspelling 30 years on her first credit she could have rectified it she choose not to .
Flagging career so get some publicity - it’s tinsel town after all
Reclaim? Like it's some form of stolen heritage? Funny headline.
I will be reclaiming the original spelling of my name... But I won't be telling you what that is in case you abuse it. Thank you for your time and acknowledgment, I will now go about my day.
She has a Beautiful Unique Name
Stunning and brave
Its a Ndebele name . Her mother is Shona and they gave her a Ndebele name, which is similar to Zulu.
Stunning and brave
Thank God for bringing bitcoin to man,it has being a great source of blessing to all of man kind who have passion for bitcoin trading. Now the poor are getting rich over night and the rich getting richer. SamuelEddy_4 thank you for your proper management .
Here come the seething wh*tes out of the woodwork.
Confused! How can she reclaim her Zulu name when she is not Zulu. According to bio her mother is a Shona from Zimbabwe - quite different to Zulu from South Africa Kwa-Zulu Natal
Melanie Parker says what?
Did a man approve this?
Why is this allowed?
Her first name is Melanie. Is she going to use that? Westminster born, middle-class, Cambridge University educated, half white Brit actress changes back the spelling of her middle name (which I support) to the original Zulu one. Tell it how it is.
Who is she and who cares. Actually what's the article about?
Remember the first movie I saw her in ‘Flirting’ and thinking Oh. My. God. What a career she’s had.
Wow, so brave.
Wouldn't it be more impressive and newsworthy if she reclaimed her original name of Melanie Parker?
But thandiwe is a nguni name not Shona meaning loved
'Reclaims'. Really? As though it was somehow stolen or misappropriated. I expect better than this.
Good for her and good for people who make their own decisions everyday
Wow. Hot news!
Good for you. I prefer Thandiwe myself.
Good for her!
Hardly Mission Impossible was it love
Good on her! And go suck a dick all the naysayers in these here replies
'Show your support for high-impact journalism In these extraordinary times, millions rely on the Guardian for independent reporting that stands for truth and integrity. '
How courageous... A real hero for POC to look up to instead of scientists, doctors, teachers, or inventors.
Why didn’t she make the stand earlier? Why now? Did her Zimbabwean heritage matter less then because she needed to get ahead in the industry? But now she’s established (on the way out) she can afford to make such grand statements.
Good on her. The fact she felt she couldn't do so for so long shows the real state of the industry.
Okie dokie
Yhw?
Wow, please tell more about this fascinating revelation.
In other news, actor changes her name back to the one she changed it from!
Big if true
Oh wow I'll sleep better tonight. Might even have a celebratory poo
This is news?
Basically, she had to change it to make it easier for white folks to pronounce.
