I remember an allegation of joke theft around the time it was announced Noah
had the gig. But it wasn't connected to the comedian mentioned in the piece.
Russell Peters was making the claims, and subsequently retracted them.

Peters did claim that Noah also stole from David Kau, who is mentioned in the
Guardian piece. (Though I wouldn't blame you for not reading that far down.)

Subject: [TV orNotTV] Trevor Noah feature: Does he plagiarize?
A pretty bleh feature on Trevor Noah in The Guardian. Not a lot of original
research. It mentions in passing that another comedian claims he uses his
jokes. Has anyone heard this criticism before of Noah?http://gu.com/p/4c5mcSent
