Personal experiences with the name Zuzu: | Edit

My daughter's(5) name is Nonzuzo Labahle Dlamini. Her elder sister Nomvuyo(9) nicknamed her Zuzu when she was a baby. She became Zuzu eversince.She's very smart even at school the teachers say she is above average. She is very good in colouring, numbers, alphabets, animals. She is a genius. She always makes interesting conversations and we are always left baffled. She can even blow a vuvuzela and ones we (me & her daddy)have difficulty blowing.Even when when she was a baby she did things (walking, talking, not peeing on herself) way before her peers. Zuzus are incredible children or maybe its my Zuzu (lol).
