Xhosa men boasting about going to the mountain, but it took the Zulus(which we look down on for not doing the mountain custom) to travel from fucking KZN to come and deal with the disrespect of the Nigerians in our own province.. Maybe afterall ubudoda aykokususa ijwabu...
I love when you can tell someone has made it to the other side of whatever their struggles were! The light that comes back in their eyes and voice is really heart warming ♥️
