    It's a decolonization of the protocols. Africans celebrate, we dance, we sing and go crazy. For far too long we had to follow the Western kind of doing things for no reason. Danko Mzanzi! It wasn't supposed to be done this way but we changed things.

    These are so emotional. For a huge number of black South Africans, getting to university alone is a big thing. The process of getting a degree also comes with massive challenges. There are often huge sacrifices made by the entire family to get someone through so that's why you see these really big celebrations from entire families. So wholesome 💜😭

    Sometimes when we dress our parents or grandma or pa the gown it's because we honor the queen or the king who took you to school with their money and support through the struggle. We thanking them and we actually want the honor or the moment of thanks to go to them. It's some sort of acknowledgement ❤️

    Here in South Africa we dont graduate from High school 🏫 we can only 🎓graduate from a tertiary instution after 3 to 4 years of studies. This is an achievement very few black people achieve. It is a big thing, when you gradute you are normally the first in your family 👪

    Some of our parents especially mothers and grand mothers are very small traders ,selling small items , fruits and veggies for instance, you can imagine the little money they make to take their kids to school. So if you see those celebrations, it's also because of the sacrifices that come with such.

University of Kwa-Zulu Natal is the best in allowing parents and student to celebrate their achievements through dancing , plus i love the hood/belt that has design that represent African culture its very unique and refreshing I wish to enrol at UKZN this is beautiful

      I come from a fairly reserved family and I'm arguably the most reserved of the lot. On graduation day, the varsity asked that all celebrations and applause be held until the end of each batch of names. The institution I went to was predominantly white so everyone complied and I was happy cos it meant my family would also comply cos, you know, introverts be hating any extra attention. Did my parents not make a ruckus when my name was called? I was shook! Like whose parents are these cos it certainly ain't MINE?! But I was also so happy they did 💜. As much as the extra attention was a lot for me to take in, I was the only one that got ululations and that made me so proud. Go parents 🙌🏽
