Zimbabwe: U.S. Court Orders Lion King Composer to Pay Comedian Learnmore Jonasi's Legal Fees After Joke Spat

[New Zimbabwe] A United States federal court has ruled that South African composer Lebohang "Lebo M" Morake must pay Zimbabwean comedian Learnmore Jonasi US$39,560 in statutory attorneys' fees, following a legal dispute over a joke about The Lion King's iconic Zulu chant.

A questionable lawsuit over a "Circle of Life" comedy bit has backfired on the composer who filed the case.
