Someone had to say it.

@CrimeWatchZim Hutofo kusaziva musiyano we British English and American english,vanhu vakadzidza chirungu through hip hop vanonetsa. Robots and traffic are both correct

@CrimeWatchZim It’s only in a few Southern African countries where they call it robot and it’s no big deal. Come to think of it, robot makes sense.

@CrimeWatchZim Its called a Robot controlled intersection so in short people called it Robot whats wrong with that

@CrimeWatchZim English language is not the same as you think,it got different terms and words,depends with where you were born and grown, even in UK they speak differently, Americans and Australians speaks differently as well and got different terms. It's not wrong to say Robot

@CrimeWatchZim Ini hangu handione kunyadzisa kwazvo. That thing is not indegenous saka chero zita randachipa ndiro. Say no to colonial mentality that makes us think kusaziva simple exotic things zvinomakisa.

@CrimeWatchZim @MurapaG Learning from stupid people isn't good for you.

@CrimeWatchZim If you want to choose language as you type, you will see alternatives that include English (Zimbabwe). "Robot" is PERFECT English (Zimbabwe). Dadai nezvokwenyu, kwete kungotevedzera zvavamwe. Lingabi othathekile - that is a ROBOT in English (Zimbabwe) vachida vasingadi!

@CrimeWatchZim Pakatanga chinhu ichi pple at the time compared it to automated machine which stood at the intersection & controlled the flow of cars, to a machine taking over the job of a human. They were referred to as "robotic traffic controllers" or "robot policemen." So nothing wrong apa

@CrimeWatchZim Anopenga uyo "sinhi" iro i Robot ndozvatakakura tichiziva, ivo varungu vanobva UK, Australia or America vachiuya kuno vatorine zvinhu zvavanoshedza nemazita avo atisingashandise kuno, we don't judge them! Hatisi risu vsridzi ve English, so sinhi i robot kana wasvotwa rutsa tsek!

Yes, traffic lights are called "robots" in some places, especially in South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Namibia, because they were originally called "robotic traffic controllers" or just "robos" when first introduced, replacing human police officers and seeming like a machine controlling traffic. The term stuck as slang for the automated signaling devices that control intersections.

@CrimeWatchZim The Brits call it a robot. We got it from them

@CrimeWatchZim Ma robots period

@CrimeWatchZim The thing is English is not static, go on you PC and lookup under languages how many English languages are they wodzoka pano wobvisa ka post kako kechidofo dofo ako.

@CrimeWatchZim Mfana uyu anondipedza aneFree will achitoMaker sense hake 🤣🤣🤣 achidhomoka futi

@CrimeWatchZim robot radii ndaplayer iripa mute

@CrimeWatchZim The term was called robotic traffic controller. Hence the shortened name “Robot”

@CrimeWatchZim A robot is any machine that performs tasks autonomously, so yes Trafic lights are robots, what’s wrong with that🤷🏾‍♂️

@CrimeWatchZim "Robotic Traffic Controller" shortened to "robot"

@CrimeWatchZim Haringazochinje zita nhasi nekuti kwauya TikTok 🎶 iRobot iri

@CrimeWatchZim I would careless if I say robot , at least we know there's a difference between a he and a she , hatina gender confusion , how can I be forced to identify one person as "they them"
