Sometimes you just have to put your degree aside and hustle like a dropout.
This is South Africa..

Our mothers didn't really do all of this. It wasn't always possible. The labour was passed on to daughters. We made fires, put those pots on the stove. They'd do the touch-ups for flavour but we did most of the work. We started cooking way before teenagehood.

You’ve seen #ThePolygamist and saw how Jonasi went out… just know, that is not just TV drama, it is real life consequences.

Multiple partners without protection increase your risk of STIs and HIV. Ignoring treatment does not make it go away, it makes it worse.

Knowing your status is power. Using protection is responsibility. Taking your treatment is survival.

If you stopped treatment, come back, reinitiate and stay on it to achieve an undetectable viral load. This means living a healthier life with zero risk of passing HIV on to others.

Remember, prevention options such as PrEP and Lenacapavir can help protect against HIV, but condoms are still essential to protect against STIs like gonorrhoea, syphilis, herpes, chlamydia and more, as well as unwanted pregnancies.

Cruel to his Brother.
Cruel to his children.
Cruel to his wife.
Cruel to his mistress.
What is it?
Sadism?

Crazy, but many underdeveloped men watching,
Want to be like Jonas,
Thankfully,
ALL women watching,
Want to be neither Joyce nor Matipa.
And that's what will tip the cup over.

So proud of Sue Nyathi,
Proud of the filmmakers,
Oh what a revolutionary story,
Cycles of abuse will be broken from people watching this.

One of the best ever literary depictions,
Of how emotional abuse,
& Particularly cheating,
Is serious violence.
Many cheaters beat themselves on the chest about how they have never laid a hand on a woman,
They don't consider themselves violent partners,
But thanks to this film,
Nobody can claim,
What Jonas is perpetrating,
Is not violence.

Without taking anything away from the filmmakers,
Of whom I am on awe for producing this masterpiece,
I must mention Sue Nyathi again,
Literary genius,
That she is.
I stan!

high-agency people are rare, and once you work with them, you can’t unsee the difference.

a high-agency person doesn’t wait to be told what to do. they don’t wait for clarity, tools, permission, or a perfect plan. they step in, observe what’s broken, what’s missing, what’s needed and they start moving. even if they’re wrong at first, they move. momentum matters more than perfection.

most people aren’t born this way. agency is something you build. it starts with taking responsibility for your own day. knowing what you’re working on, why you’re working on it, and whether it’s actually helping the team. it means replacing “i can’t because…” with “i’ll figure out how.” it means caring enough to close loops without being asked.

for people who don’t have high agency yet, the fastest way to build is :

> stop waiting for instructions
> pick one problem and own it end to end
> communicate progress, not excuses
> treat the company’s problems like your own

agency grows when you put yourself in uncomfortable situations and still choose to act.

when we look for people to join our team, we don’t just look at skills. skills can be learned. agency is harder.

we look for signals people who’ve built things on their own, taken responsibility without a title, figured things out when no one was guiding them. people who don’t disappear when things get messy.

early teams don’t need passengers. they need people who can think, decide, and act. people who see problems and feel an internal responsibility to fix them. that’s what high agency looks like.

you can teach tools. you can teach process.
but agency? that comes from within.

I hope as a woman you learn to sit comfortably with who you are without needing it to be affirmed by men. Cultivate an iron clad sense of self because when your esteem is contingent on a man, you will spend your life re-editing yourself to be legible to each one you meet.

We can fail at many things in this country, but let's fight for an educated youth. It's heartbreaking that education isn't accessible to some kids. For most of us, education's the only path to make something of our lives.

[@luphumlongcayisa @luphumlongcayis]

It hurts when the privileged feel entitled to dictate how the under-resourced should conduct their lives. There is absolutely nothing wrong with saying, ‘I can’t assist with your financial request.’ You don’t even need to apologise. No one is obligated to help.

But there is everything wrong with berating someone for their choices, or shaming them for not meeting their financial obligations. That is not your place.

We cannot shame people for reaching out. And we cannot shame them for experiencing ‘temporal’ lack.

I say lack is temporal because, like most things in life, it shifts even when it feels permanent while you’re inside it.

Kindness costs nothing. Let us extend grace and kindness. In particular to those who so happen to have far less than we do.

Every time I see someone switch careers, I’m reminded that life is a journey of discovery. You can enjoy a course of study but find the actual work unfulfilling. It is okay to start over to find something you love. We are capable of evolving, so don't settle until you find it.

In your 20s there will come an urge to believe in yourself and chase after opportunities people will say they are too big for your shoes its very important to shut down the noise and believe in yourself 🤍

I watched the Minister of Basic Education, Ms @Siviwe_G deliver the NSC Matric Results.

Let me begin where credit is due. Congratulations to the provinces and districts for the exceptional work invested in this cohort. The improvements across provinces are measurable, encouraging, and importantly, they signal institutional momentum rather than episodic success.

Now, to the Minister.

It was genuinely refreshing to witness a speech that was well written, tightly structured, and delivered with intellectual command and civic conviction. Yes, she was supported by a teleprompter, as any serious public communicator should but this in no way diluted her evident grasp of the department, the policy mechanics, or the educational ecosystem she oversees.

What stood out was her ability to translate bureaucratic complexity into public understanding without condescension or theatrics. She was composed, engaging and pedagogically intentional in how she unpacked the sector’s progress, constraints, and responsibilities. Oh and she sounded fantastic.

Equally notable was her political maturity within the context of a Government of National Unity. At no point did she weaponise these achievements for partisan elevation. The successes were consistently framed as collective, attributable to the sector, its professionals, its institutions and the broader education ecosystem. That restraint signals statesmanship rather than party reflex, and it matters in a fragile democratic moment where institutional trust must be rebuilt, not harvested.

And to the Class of 2025. May your results open doors, yes but more importantly, may your education give you judgment, range and the courage to think for yourselves. South Africa does not merely need achievers; it needs citizens who can reason, question and build.

Congratulations to all at @DBE_SA
