Ke ngwana wa ga the late veteran journalist Khaba Mkhize.
It’s starting to add up (at least for me), though I was genuinely thrown off by the "ANC B" and "Do you know my father?" comments—what do those even have to do with being denied alcohol on a plane while already inebriated?
For instance, the remark "Black people in this country have a problem of shutting up" hit differently. It speaks to how we often don’t speak out or challenge things enough, even when we should. When your life is shaped by activism against injustice, even the smallest poke can feel like a calculated provocation. Touch is a move!
Usisi grew up in a household where Black struggles were discussed relentlessly—morning, noon, and night, every day of every year. That environment molds you to spot injustice everywhere, but it also leaves you carrying the weight of that awareness.
Now, the problem with alcohol is that it amplifies what’s already brewing beneath the surface—unresolved issues we’ve chosen to bury, whether by choice or because fighting feels futile.
Understanding your relationship with alcohol is crucial. Some people become overly affectionate, others retreat into themselves, and many channel their emotions into anger, instigating unnecessary conflict.
Given her profession, it’s crucial for her to prioritize self-awareness. A life coach could help her navigate these triggers, and she should seriously consider abstaining from drinking in public. The stakes are too high, and missteps are too costly.
Just my two cents, and I’ll admit, it may be premature and presumptuous. #welistenandwedontjudge

I just need understand what the @CityofJoburgZA is actually doing in this city? I really want to understand. Have you driven down Malibongwe? Not one single street light is working. It’s pitch dark. To Lanseria? it was so dark. Is there no budget ? What’s the problem??
So true, there is a new sense of pride that this has injected in me personally. We have to intensify the fight for this country. Our kids deserve to live in the South Africa we saw these past few days.
Bethuna😭🥺I'm gonna cry all over again. Yho South Africans kodwa❤️ You can never write us off. Everyday we show up and fight for this beautiul country of ours. Our hearts are pure & our spirit is unmatched🇿🇦🎊💫
@CyrilRamaphosa@Springboks We can draw great lessons from this Mr President, Chief among them is that we are “stronger together”! Only if we choose the best among us to do the job.
