African women being shamed for dating African men is laughable. We are not your grandmothers whoโve never left their hometowns.
And to the women laughing along with the men, their bigotry wonโt spare you. Tomorrow itโs you.
๐จ THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A DAY OF FUN. SOMEHOW, IT ENDED WITH A CHILD DEAD.
There is something deeply unsettling about the reaction to this tragedy.
A young life has been lost. A family is mourning. Yet instead of the conversation being centred on the pain of losing a child, much of the public discussion has shifted towards defending the 53-year-old man accused of stabbing him ,with some even calling for his release.
That alone should make us pause.
Not to decide who is guilty. Not to take the law into our own hands. But to ask ourselves a much bigger question:
How did we get to a point where our children can behave recklessly towards adults and we simply call it โplayingโ?
Spring Day is supposed to be innocent fun. Water, laughter, friends and memories.
But there is a line between having fun and deliberately invading someone else's personal space, humiliating them, assaulting them or continuing to provoke them after they have made it clear they don't want to participate.
And when that line is crossed, where are the adults?
Because parenting cannot only mean providing food, clothes and education. It also means teaching children that other people have boundaries. It means teaching them that โnoโ means no. It means teaching them that being part of a group does not give you permission to mistreat someone.
Most importantly, it means teaching them that actions have consequences.
๐ญ Two families are now living with something that can never be undone.
One family is burying a child.
Another family is dealing with the consequences of an incident that allegedly escalated into a fatal confrontation.
There are no winners here.
And while the law must establish exactly what happened and who is responsible, as parents and as a society, we also need to examine the environment we are creating for our children.
We cannot keep laughing off dangerous behaviour with:
โThey're just kids.โ
โThey were only having fun.โ
โThey didn't mean anything by it.โ
Children may not always understand the seriousness of their actions, that is precisely why they need parents to teach them.
Teach them to have fun.
Teach them to enjoy themselves.
Teach them to celebrate.
But also teach them boundaries, respect, empathy and when to STOP.
๐ A family will never look at Spring Day the same way again.
What happened should not become another social-media argument where everyone chooses a side and moves on.
It should be a wake-up call.
Because sometimes the most painful lessons are the ones we learn after it is already too late.

NSFAS KEEPS FUNDING MILLIONS SOUTH AFRICANS EACH YEAR - SO WHERE ARE THE PROFESSORS? ๐จ
NSFAS supports millions of Black and Coloured South African students, yet we still have a shortage of South African doctors, researchers and university lecturers.
Are graduates leaving the country? Dropping out? Or are we failing to fund them beyond undergraduate studies?
One major problem is postgraduate funding. Government can fund you to get a degree, but where is the money for the Masterโs, PhD and research that turns graduates into professors?
And one explanation for the funding constraints has been South Africaโs years of weak economic growth.
We can't celebrate access to university and then wonder why we don't have enough South African academics. The pipeline has to continue beyond the bachelorโs degree.
@ansem_edet Then they never knew that but now is getting worst for the states of African unity....... In division we are falling so fast apart ๐ญ๐ญ
Jacinta: fake formula stats
1. Take a screenshot
2. See a surname that sounds Nigerian or Zimbabwean
3. Call that person a foreigner
4. Tell South Africans they are being robbed
But Wits already exposed you. Many of those names are South African citizens. Permanent residents. People born here. People married here. People with lineage here. Wits itself said to assume a name determines nationality is "deeply misleading"
You are not fighting for South Africans. You are using the pain of unemployed graduates to push xenophobia for likes and votes.
If you really cared about South Africans, you would fight for more funding for universities. For more PhD programs. For more jobs.
Not for fake stats.
South Africans are unemployed not because of a lecturer from Ghana who has a PhD in scarce skills. South Africans are unemployed because of the same corrupt system you protect.

@UchePOkoye You are just busy displaying Anambra( in first son )ignorance and more just lecturing/ difference between "highlife and afrobeats....
Obviously you are too far from the beats..
I have told you this discussion is way above your comprehension. If itโs IPOB matter, you are a professor in it. Stop fooling around in this age of information. Grok has answered you properly and you should take the lesson.
