If I wasn't South African I would hate South Africans too 🤘🏾
I get it. We are a lot 🔥🇿🇦🔥🇿🇦🔥🇿🇦🔥🇿🇦🔥🇿🇦🔥🇿🇦🔥🇿🇦🔥🇿🇦🔥🇿🇦🔥🇿🇦🔥🇿🇦🔥🇿🇦🔥🇿🇦🔥🇿🇦🔥🇿🇦🔥🇿🇦🔥🇿🇦🔥🇿🇦🔥🇿🇦🔥🇿🇦🔥🇿🇦🔥🇿🇦🔥🇿🇦🔥🇿🇦🔥
1. Our skeletons are wet.
2. your nose is ALWAYS in your line of sight, but your brain ignores it
3. When you receive a donated kidney, they don’t take out the bad one. They just add the good one in.
4. Your immune system doesn't know you have eyes. Otherwise, it would attack them and make you blind. injuring one eye can introduce eye bits to the bloodstream and basically give your immune system the knowledge of having eyes. then it might decide it really fucking hates that and attack your non-injured eye.
5. The quality of the male sperm is responsible for morning sickness, preeclampsia, baby’s gender and almost every single pregnancy related issue.
6. You breathe through one nostril at a time. Don’t believe me? Put your finger below your nose and try.
7. The brain itself has no nerve endings, so it can’t feel pain. That’s why patients can be wide awake during brain surgery and made to perform certain actions.
8. That ringing in silence isn’t silence
When everything is quiet and you hear a faint ringing?
That’s your brain listening to its own nervous system.
You are hearing yourself functioning.
9. You will never experience your own death.
You only experience approaching it… Then nothing.
Everyone else gets closure, stories, funerals, and memories.
You don’t.
You never know you’ve become a memory.
From your perspective, the story just stops mid-sentence.
I worked 20 years for a child sex trafficking rescue group. I want you to know this:
90% of Lost Children Are Found Within 30 Minutes.
That statistic should both comfort you and wake you up.
Most lost children are found quickly. But the ones who aren’t? They usually made one mistake.
And here’s the uncomfortable truth:
It’s often the exact thing most parents teach them.
We tell our kids:
“If you get lost, come find me.”
It sounds logical. It sounds empowering.
It’s WRONG!
The Mistake Most Lost Children Make:
When children realize they’re separated, they do three things almost automatically:
They panic.
They wander.
They try to find you.
Every step makes them harder to locate.
From a search standpoint, movement creates chaos.
Parents retrace their steps.
Security scans zones.
Staff lock down areas.
Search works best when movement stops.
When a child keeps walking, they move outside the original search radius. Helpers are looking where they were last seen — not where they’ve wandered.
Stillness increases probability.
Movement expands the problem.
The first lesson is not “go find me.”
It’s this:
Stop. Stay. Yell.
Why Stillness Wins:
Think like a search team.
If a child stays put:
Parents can retrace steps.
Security can scan systematically.
Helpers converge to one fixed location.
The search radius remains small.
If a child keeps moving:
The search area expands.
Adults pass each other.
Missed connections multiply.
Minutes stretch into hours.
Stillness keeps the math on your side.
Teach Them Who to Approach:
The second mistake we make as parents?
We say, “Find an adult.”
Not any adult. Not the nearest stranger. Children need a filter.
Teach them to look for, if at all possible:
A mother with children.
Caregivers who already have kids with them are statistically among the safest people to approach in public settings. They are visible, stationary, and more likely to engage quickly.
It’s a clear, concrete instruction.
Children don’t process vague categories like “safe adult.”
They process visuals.
“Find a mom with kids” is visual.
A Phone Only Helps If the Number Is Known:
We often assume phones solve everything.
They don’t — unless your child can use one. Even young children can memorize a 10-digit phone number with repetition.
But you must train it.
Practice it like a song.
Sing it in the car.
Chant it at bedtime.
Turn it into rhythm.
Repetition becomes recall.
In an emergency, recall matters more than theory.
The Code Word Rule:
One more layer of protection.
Choose a private family code word.
Something only your household knows.
If someone approaches and says:
“Your mom sent me.”
Your child asks:
“What’s the code word?”
No word.
No go.
This simple rule eliminates manipulation attempts instantly.
It gives your child agency without requiring them to evaluate character.
Real Safety Is Training — Not Luck!
We don’t get safer by hoping.
We get safer by practicing.
Teach:
• Phone number
• Code word
• Stop, stay, yell
• Find a mom with kids
Multiple skills.
Simple instructions.
Clear visuals.
Five minutes of training can replace hours of panic. This isn’t about fear. It’s about preparation.
Because when a child gets separated, the clock starts.
And what they do in the first minute determines what the next thirty look like.
That’s real protection.

There is a young woman by the name of Noluthando Kossi, originally from Durban, South Africa, who is currently in Thailand 🇹🇭. She works at Beacon House Yamsaard in Rangsit, Pathum Thani. Previously, she worked at Princess Sirindhorn’s College in Nakhon Pathom, and later at a school in Lad Prao, Bangkok.
We are sharing this information because Noluthando is currently unwell. She has not reported to work since last Monday, and it has been reported that she has been wandering around the Lumpini Township area, Khlong 1. She appears to be dehydrated and has not eaten.
We are urgently requesting assistance in locating her close family members, such as her mother, brother, or sisters. If anyone has any information that may help, please share it with us. Noluthando is a very private and reserved person and does not often communicate with others.
We are concerned that she may be experiencing mental health challenges and needs immediate care and support.
Please share this post until it reaches the right people

Introducing Sinethemba Zwane, an organic farmer from Ndwedwe, KZN, crafting her signature UFarm Julia Organic Peanut Butter, priced at R45 per jar. She’s now debuted her fiery UFarm Julia Chilli Sauce. Let’s make her a household name!
If you paid Lobola & dumped the lady thereafter & got married at Home Affairs, your new Civil Marriage is nul and void. This judgement carries significant implications for South Africans who separate under customary law without going through the courts.
