I actually really like the catchphrases. They're continuing the tradition of allowing African influences in the production. In The Lion King the "catchphrase" was Hakuna Matata, the meaning of which became common knowledge across the world. The characters in The Lion Guard often say Asante or other common swahili words. I think it's important to have a bit of cultural influence. Dora the Explorer kind of shoved it in your face ("can you say ____?"), but I think the usage here is more subtle than it could be, which is a good thing. Plus, singing about Zuka Zama sounds way cool. Try singing that song using only English.
