The fact that she rarely speaks up when mass killings and humanitarian crises are happening in African countries like Sudan, Congo, Mali, or Nigeria, yet consistently draws from African cultures for aesthetics, symbolism, and inspiration, will never feel iconic to me ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ

Do you feel so small as an African president that you rush to meet the son of another nationโs president when he visits your country for a vacation and post the photo on social media ? Think about it for a moment. Do you truly believe that if your own child were to spend a holiday in the United States, Donald Trump would interrupt his plans to come and greet them? Dear African leaders : Respect Yourselves!
Only if we see this King of amaZulu through a European lens are we going to suggest he lived in a kraal (isibaya), which is a corral, or an animal pen, instead of a homestead (ikhaya) with a courtyard.

Having the loudest mouth in the room isnโt feminism. Advocating for social justice & breaking down systemic barriers obstructing women from succeeding is. The Eastern Cape leads SA in female secondary school dropout rates and your so-called Xhosa feminism is no where to be found
Some people thought 6 July 2025 was just another press briefing. When one tried to shoe the severity of what had just happened we were called alarmist.

I was listening to a clip where King Misuzulu addresses young girls.
He said that he won't choose a wife amongst them because to him, they are daughters, he is the same age as their mothers. He further stated, to those 16yrs old and below in age, that if any men approached them with mjolo nonsense , they should tell the men to come and speak to him and he will deal with them.
That is fatherly, leadership!
