.y'all will know I'm successful in life when I have a fund offering academic and leadership scholarships for students in the 55–61% and 62–74% grade bands from incredibly under-resourced schooling/ family environments. I won't even explain why. Those who get it, get it. ❤️

It has protected sahm for the longest time. There were plenty of men who never wanted their women to work, or better yet, the woman couldn’t find work. Now imagine you are 45, with 3 kids, no job, and your husband leaves you with nothing? Awful concept you say. lol okay Nolwazi.
The TL is soo anti-black right now everyone is dragging SAns for using their home languages in their shows in the same breath tell us we worship white people while fighting a white genocide allegation.

I run a dubbing studio.
Every day we make Korean, Turkish, Hindi, Spanish and Portuguese content accessible to South African audiences through language.
Nobody asks why
Nobody says viewers should just learn Korean or Portuguese
Nobody complains when knowledge and entertainment are translated into English
I also write software in Python.
So when I see people building tools that allow coding concepts to be expressed in isiZulu, I understand exactly what they’re trying to do and get excited
Language is not just for conversation.
Language is a vehicle for knowledge.
If a language can carry stories, science, mathematics and law, it can carry programming concepts too.
The comments under @Father_Of_Geeks post are a reminder that the biggest barrier is not technology.
It’s whether we believe our own languages deserve a place in the future.
Growing up in South Africa, coding always felt like it belonged to someone else's language.
So I built my own.
Introducing CMT-IsiZulu — write Python code in isiZulu South African can now write codes in their home language
🇿🇦 Sikhona. We exist.

That CarTrack story is exactly why you should always put your health first, even if your employer doesn’t believe you. How do they even justify what they did?
