Have you read that Afrikaans is the sexiest accent in the world? Well, actress Lesley-Ann Brandt used the language in her role as 'Maze' in the hit series, Lucifer.
In the third season trailer, Maze is seen speaking to her therapist, who tells her to speak in her language to work through some emotional issues.
Maze replies: “Kan jy vir my verstaan wat ek praat? Want ek wil saam met jou praat en jy kan nie," which loosely translates to, "Can you understand what I am saying because I want to talk to you and you can’t?”.
Netflix South Africa later took to Facebook to pose the question: "Is Afrikaans the official language of hell then?"
According to IOL, the Netflix series revolves around the devil, Lucifer Morningstar, who escaped hell to live in Los Angeles and has a demon sidekick called Maze.
