A fact from Makwerekwere appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 19 May 2023 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that makwerekwere is the South African equivalent of "barbarians", an offensive and derogatory slur used to refer to foreigners?

Article was nominated the same day it was made, so is new enough. It is more than long enough, reads neutrally, and properly uses inline citations with no copyvio issues. The hook is short enough, interesting, and cited inline. The QPQ has been done and there's no image to review. Looks good to go! SilverserenC 17:39, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is interesting. Just wanted to say that it suffers a bit from WP:OVERCITE. It is distracting to read through. Bruxton (talk) 14:25, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
