NYC Socialist Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani Admitted 'Nepotism' Landed Him Plum Disney Job—While Using a Fake South African Accent

New York City socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani suggested that he only received a plush job on the 2016 Disney film Queen of Katwe because his mother was the director. Mamdani, 33, made the admission with a smile during an interview with the South African radio station Kaya FM 95.9 in October of that year. Throughout the 11-minute interview, he speaks with an affected South African accent, at times adjusting his grammar to reflect the local patois. "Come watch this film, you get the sound proper," he says at one point.
