Like, she’s got her squad of grannies and they all just come and hang out… it’s like a weird team of superheroes, where they’ve all got their specialities and then hers is that her memory is bulletproof, so all her friends ask her about things they’ve forgotten about in life.”

He took to social media to share the news stating that;

“I thought that my vocal cords were healed but according to the doctor, flying 36 hours and hosting a giant concert in South Africa didn’t help me. So now if I want to get better I have to take it seriously so that I can perform at 100% on my new tour next year,” .   “I hate cancelling shows but I also hate the idea of losing my voice forever so I’m postponing all this year’s stand up shows and working hard on rehabbing the voice.”

Trevor Noah was in the country for the Global Citizen Festival, and thus made a stop at his grandmother’s house.

He went with his camera crew, and interviewed her on what it was like for her as a child and the struggles they faced during Apartheid.

“Flying squads. Each and every street had a flying squad,” she explained, referring to the heavy police presence in the townships back then.

“When you were with me here. Oh, Trevor you gave me a tough time. Because you wanted to play in the street and I knew the flying squad was going to take you.”

Trevor Noah was on the set of US talk show Good Morning America, where he talked about his latest Netflix special among other topics.

He also talked about his strong bond with actor Will Smith.

“Will Smith has been someone who’s become a friend and a mentor in life. I grew up watching him and loving him,” Trevor told hosts Michael Strahan and Sara Haines. He joked about the fact that he calls Will up every now again just to make sure that it’s really him.

In the interview, Trevor spoke about how Lupita Nyong’o was chosen to play his mother in the upcoming film adaptation of his memoir, Born A Crime. 

“Lupita was on the set of Black Panther. She was reading my book, which I didn’t even know she had, and then she calls me and she goes: ‘Hey Trevor, it’s Lupita’. I said: ‘Hey Lupita, how you doing?’ And then she goes: ‘I want to be your mom’.”

Lupita loved his book so much that she had offered to play his mother in the movie. “I was like: ‘But there is no movie’. She’s like: ‘There is now’,” he went on say.

And what’s more, Trevor has vowed to match however much money the campaign is able to raise, up to R2million.

This means that if the campaign is able to raise at least R2million, then a guaranteed R4million investment will be made into education in South Africa by the Trevor Noah Foundation, which launched in 2017.

The foundation is running the campaign through the BackaBuddy website, a popular crowd-funding site.

“Our end goal is to get as many children who do not have access to education, educated. We want to get teachers the support they need, because teachers are underpaid and we want to make sure that the people who educated those children actually have food and ways to sustain themselves,” said Trevor, who is the chairman of the Trevor Noah Foundation.

Hey @Trevornoah, your comments about Aboriginal @IndigenousX in this clip are utterly unacceptable! As a man of colour, you are usually in point with racism & divide – here you are perpetrating & encouraging racial abuse!! #boycotttrevornoahinoz https://t.co/UNXE8TlBtq RT

He has however since apologized on Twitter saying: “After visiting Australia’s Bunjilaka museum and learning about Aboriginal history first hand I vowed never to make a joke like that again. And I haven’t.”

He then added: “I’ll make sure the clip from 2013 is not promoted in any way.”

@joewilliams_tew you're right. After visiting Australia's Bunjilaka museum and learning about aboriginal history first hand I vowed never to make a joke like that again. And I haven't. I'll make sure the clip from 2013 is not promoted in any way.
