Corporate South Africa socialised an entire generation into believing it was perfectly normal for a man to vanish from his family for 11 months of the year, buried in the mines and/or factories, only to reappear once during the festive season like a seasonal visitor.
Hostels in our townships were not just accommodation, they were the official infrastructure for this system: Warehouses for full-time workers and part-time fathers.
They deliberately engineered absent fathers and now we act shocked at the statistics.
Embracing fatherhood may never be easy for those who grew up without fathers. Many still think just providing money is the only role a father has to play.
May we become the generation that will change the narrative. 🇿🇦🙏🏾
Nigerians are now producing fake South African passports in Nigeria and sending them to each other in order to japa around the world while pretending to be South Africans @GovernmentZA@Leon_Schreib
For a long time, black South Africans complained about how Cape Town didn’t feel it was for them culturally and financially. The response was: “If you can’t afford it then maybe you shouldn’t live there.” Capitalism doesn’t stop & it doesn’t care. So fast forward!
@ISephara Crazy how black folk have literally been driven out for years , money has no colour and it has finally caught up to our fellow white people that CT is insane in pricing for locals
