replies: text: I didn't find any material from that link, but I did find text copied from http://www.artlink.co.za/news_article.htm?contentID=1427 and http://www.kultureclashinternational.com/zola.html and have removed it. This is quite a notable artist, but the current article is a real mess—disorganized, poorly written, and full of random unreferenced assertions. Voceditenore (talk) 16:24, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: "musician Zola"

message: I will add a section ( which I'm not sure what to call for now) about Zola's current financial state. There are many media reports that he is down and out due to a string of improper public conduct. Moreover we don't hear of him or see him on magazines or media anymore http://www.pioneernews.co.za/163737/news-details/zola-7-is-down-and-out. Bobbyshabangu talk 02:58, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Parts of the article seem to suffer from plagiarism and tabloid style. I think this holds for the sections "Zola rocking the airwaves" & "Giving back to the community" both in their name and content. Please compare the sources' text with the sections' text. Could the two sections be removed completely? Information on Zola's work as a radio host could be mentioned elsewhere in the article, e.g. together with his work as TV presenter (under a more general heading). --Chip Ahoi (talk) 16:41, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
