    We really take for granted the influence of being raised by a certain callibre of parents. ❤ Although late, my mom was very similar, activist, founder etc and the energy u pick up from such parents can carry you for decades. Well done on bringing your mom Dr Siz

    Good Dr, when you brought your dad I felt honoured to listen, and yet again today being here with your mother feels like an absolute privilege.
    Thank you for welcoming us into your home. Your parents are beautiful people. And listening to them taught me a lot about our country.
    Keep up the great work

    What a wonderful soul, I like how well versed she is on cultural sensitivity matters and how she eloquently and effortlessly articulates the nuances around this rather uncomfortable subject. What a gem! It's almost difficult to understand how the ANC got it so wrong with such outstanding stalwarts at their disposal. This Mbokodo is cut from a different cloth, I could listen to her speak for hours on end. Sizwe you are privileged to have been reared by such revolutionary and fearless parents!

    My mother ran a farm school for black children for a group of farms 🚜 in the Modimolle area. For 6 years it was highly successful educating arround 75 children in prep for high school. All could read and write , fluent in English. These appointed farmers paid all expenses to uphold the standard. Problems arose when nearby black run government schools heard about the standard of success , other parents started demanding enterance and jealousy became transparent. Kids at the school were targetted for bullying and threats by parents . My mother was elderly and felt unsafe . She resigned and shortly the school closed. We all blame racism as its an easy out for tribal culture and low intelligence but we all see how our country has deteriated under the simple basis of our school and its demise. 😢 we tend to tell ourselves lies .

    RDP, TRC, Vryburg, and many others were really missed opportunities. We actually dropped the ball many years ago. The current decline is not because of today's problems but years and years of endless disappointment. Current delivery failures are a cherry on top.

    In other countries there are laws that punish the glorification of past atrocious regimes, but in the case of SA this type of hate speech is fully tolerated!
