South African slang for a cannabis cigarette or joint. Widely used in South African English across racial and cultural communities, it is one of the most recognizable terms in South African cannabis slang. The word carries a casual, street-level register and is typically used without particular emphasis on the drug's illegality or otherwise — it's simply the everyday word for a joint in South African usage.

He rolled a zol on the stoep and passed it around before anyone had said a word about the day.
Origin: Origin uncertain; some sources suggest it may derive from Afrikaans or local Cape slang, but the precise etymology is not well documented. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
