A woman doesn’t deserve to be abused, even when she’s in a relationship with a married man. I think we all should always be doing our best to not forget this.

Goodday, I’m asking for help with a very heavy heart. 🙏🏽

I am caring for my younger brother who has autism and ADHD. Because of his condition, he is not able to cope in mainstream schools, and even at home he struggles without the structure and support he truly needs.

He is currently enrolled at a private special needs school in Lebowakgomo that has become his safe space — a place where he feels understood, supported, and able to learn in a way that works for him. Since being there, we have seen real progress in his behavior, learning, and overall well-being.

Right now, I am unemployed and I’ve reached a point where I can no longer afford his school fees. His SASSA grant is not enough to cover his tuition and other essential needs.

What hurts the most is knowing that he could lose his place at the school. This is not just a school for him — it is stability, structure, and a chance at a better future. Taking him out would set him back in ways that are hard to explain, especially because he is already struggling to cope at home.

I am trying everything I can, but I can’t do this alone anymore.

Out of respect for his privacy and the sensitivity of his situation, I’m not sharing his face publicly. I am willing to provide proof of school fees and any supporting documents privately to anyone who would like to assist.

Please, if you can help in any way, no matter how small, it would mean everything to us. And if you’re not able to donate, please share this message — it could reach someone who can help.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any support you can give. ❤

This is really hard to post, but please read.

A student reached out to me tonight. She hasn’t received her NSFAS allowance (and confirmed she’s not defunded), and for the past 2 days she’s had nothing but water. Today she only managed to get R12 noodles. She’s starving, has lost weight, and has no basic toiletries.

She urgently needs food and essentials like lotion, deodorant, bath soap, and sanitary products (pads or tampons).

There’s a Shoprite near her res and a Pick n Pay near campus, so grocery vouchers or direct store assistance would help immediately.

She’s comfortable with me sharing her details for direct help:

If you’d prefer, you can also DM me and I’ll connect you directly with her.

If you’re able to help in any way, please do 🤍

@JayFromVenda Important question, have you gone home and removed the lizard???

[Miyandy @Amahashi_]

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.

The fact that in one lifetime I’ve recorded music into a cassette tape from a radio, burned music onto a CD, clicked and dragged it onto an MP3 player, and streamed it from a smart phone is crazy.

Yeah, I’m that old.

[Mathiyane ❤ @nodada_anda]

@Mpumiln I did and it worked out great for me…
