I don't usually comment or post about celebrities' personal lives.
But since the timeline has been flooded by Nandi Madiba's statement about giving black men grace, I have just been shocked by the response.
Why is it that a lot of the detractors to the statement reference money?
Yeah money does alleviate a lot of issues. BUT, there are plenty of people ... Hell generations before us raised families and black men were good fathers even when they were literally, legally, subjugated by the government.
Is the man's worth only seen in his pocket?
Do broke men not deserve love, respect and affirmations?
If our whole way of looking at companionship is based on money, how then are we surprised at the degradation of courting, relationships and marriages right now? If it's all transactional, then there inevitably gonna be a sense of ownership... The owner, that's he who pays and is only seen through his pocket, will assert his dominance through the prism of "I pay so I own you". Social ills like GBV and femicide thrive in that reality.
We complain that the Black Man is losing his place in the sun, the boy child is getting left behind, then now we chastise a woman for elevating Black men so that her sons and those of her fellow sisters, regardless of the social or economic status, can know that they are seen and valued.
Kgante le batlang. Nifunani?!
Or is this just another social media rot of performative outrage, when you know what she said is not a bad thing.
Is the congregation is The Church Of The Perpetuallly Aggrieved just singing the same hymns for Elon's tithe?
Ngim' owrong? What am I missing, if I am.

naturally intelligent and as they grow, their work ethic becomes a priority to them. making them a powerful force. it’s so hard to be upset when you’re with them but their sadness is just the same- it is loud. guarded so they seem boring, which is untrue.
