VIDEO: Singer imagines Adele if she was Zulu

Adele is a British stage queen, but what if she was a bit more South African?

South Africa is a country that is incredibly rich in culture.

With 11 official languages, this country has so much to offer.

It might have its issues, but the people of South Africa are truly a special breed, with a sense of humour that is unmatched by any other country.

Even if you are a Grammy Award-winning artist, selling out a Las Vegas residency and breaking records, you are not safe from us!

Adele is known for her ballads, soulful voice, and bluesy style, and her songs can evoke strong emotions in listeners.

Take her 2015 single, 'Hello', for example.

This was the first song she released in 2015 after three years of no new music and the first single from her third album, '25'.

Something that often happens with very popular songs is that they get used for covers.

Songs covers don't have to be in the same style, but they generally don't change the song too much.

There have been many covers of Adele's 'Hello' over the years, but there is one that might be the best of the best.

With pure South African flavour, video creator Sne Dladla decided to put the ultimate twist on the song.

Not only is this video entertaining and funny, but really well done.

Fellow South Africans have been commenting on the video, saying how much they adore this version.

One commenter even said, "I'm telling my kids this is the original version!"
