Mbuyisa Makhubo disappeared in 1979. He rose to prominence after he was seen carrying Hector Pieterson in a photograph taken by Sam Nzima after Pieterson was shot during the Soweto uprising of June 16, 1976. After the photograph was released, Makhubo was harassed by the security services & was forced to flee South Africa. His mother last heard from him when he was in Nigeria & never heard from him again.

you guys have this “ag shame, nunus” approach when speaking about the plight of the poor that i find a bit condescending. treating poor people as incapable of political thought is patronising, but treating them as incapable of being wrong is also patronising.

A few Tsotsitaal words and their connection to "khoisan" languages:
Ngcosi -> |'os (cos)-> girl child in Khoemana (Khoekhoe)
Cava -> !aba (qaba) -> to look in Khoemana
Isicamtho -> |kamtye (chamtye) -> to talk in !Kwi (San)
Kau -> kx'ao (kgao) -> a young man in Khoemana.

SA has so many capitalists without capital. It's so embarrassing to see someone defend the very system that keeps them poor.
It's definitely a product of "hustle" culture.
