I was tryna help my family out as much I can with the money I have, pay for petrol, electricity, water, food, and one time they were going to lose their car to the dealer because they didn't pay for 3 months or 2 can't remember conveniently when I got paid. I gave them my whole salary and I live alone mind you. Had no food, no electricity for a few days. I have never starved like that in my entire life.

They promised to bring it back but they couldn't. I know they did their very best to pay me back but they couldn't it was a lot of money. Every thing I paid for had a good reason they are not bad people just really really struggling with a lot of bills to pay and people they owe. We in the lower middle class from my perspective . Then one day I accepted that I can't save them anymore. "The tire bust and I use the car to take the kids to school please help" "I don't have Petrol to go to work" "please give your father some money for transport to work" "your siblings don't have school clothes"... Sigh..."no...I can't help you" I feel Terrible everytime they ask for something but... I just can't anymore.

I remember puking nothing cause I was starving in my room in the dark the month I paid for the car. I could have asked for money from my friends but idk I guess my parents owing people and loan sharks traumatized me. Idk how I survived the month eating rice and charging my stuff at work but I did. I'm not heartless or anything I will help them when I can but IT WILL NEVER... EVER come from my inconvenience. I don't want them to rely on me. I will help when I can but not at the expense of my convince.... You got black tax trauma? How are you dealing with black tax?

(Love my family I kindly request you don't speak ill of them again they are good people who are really struggling and they helped me to get here.)

Finally it's out of my chest. Thanks for reading

Woke up to see a video of a dude getting whipped and told to close his shop.... The wild part? He showed them his papers and they still didn't care.

​I’m trying to understand the logic. People are blaming the job crisis on a guy at a tuck shop? It’s not clicking for me... 😅

​Between AI automating everything and the fact that we have more graduates than actual opportunities, the math isn't mathing. Blaming the small shops for unemployment feels like a reach when you look at the tech shift.

​Is there more to this or am I just tripping? I don't think it's the whole country, probably just a small section... or scarier, could these videos be AI? 💀 Just weird how we were all chilling a few days ago and then on a random Sunday this starts popping up. Someone help me make sense of it. 😅

Most videos or the internet recommend speaking to Zulu people and learning from trial and error but, let's say that's not an option. What would recommend... How did you learn to speak Zulu?
