First day was hard. Baby girl refused to get inside her classroom. Had to beg the teachers to allow me to sit in with her, and calm her down a little bit. Am told the afternoon swimming sessions were much better today, plus ice cream helped. Hoping tomorrow gets easier. ❤️
This is nonsense! All the leaners who took part in this need to be suspended immediately from the school, with their parents, SGB and possibly SAPS involved. This is not funny to me, the teacher is being humiliated here for content, and likes.
Still hard to believe that that PnP cashier, the one who died so young because all she did was work, work and work, the one who they said was never gonna make it, was not suppose to make it. That one, gave birth to a professor. 😭❤️🙏🏿
A sociological inquiry into how race, class, gender and colourism intersect to produce narrow and damaging ideas of beauty, love and desirability. It’s a necessary study!
🤣🤣I think at a personal level, Zuma really owes us a seminar or workshop on how to stay happy and always laughing! With all the court cases, imprisonment, investigations, the man its always smiling and has a sense of humour. How does he do it?
WATCH: Inside court, former President Jacob Zuma takes out his cellphone to take photographs of journalists taking pictures of him. "Umathatha thathana," quips Zuma
We are in the Gauteng High Court for his private prosecution case.

My people, am so happy to share that I have been appointed as an Associate Professor at the University of Johannesburg’s Ali Mazrui Centre for higher education studies. I look forward to continue making a contribution to that prestigious institution of knowledge. 📚❤️☺️
@go2uj
Horrible, disastrous and abusive! Academics are generally some of the most conservative and intellectually narrow minded people we have in society. Just attend one university departmental meeting or faculty board for you to understand how petty, insecure and intolerant we can be.
This is a lie! I have students I used to teach at UKZN who are still struggling to find a job, 3-4 years after obtaining their teaching qualifications.
@Mthunzie_Maps

I worked at res, opened a tuck shop in my room, worked as a tutor in 2 departments, worked at the library and still somehow it was all not enough. We need to stop lying to poor students that side gigs can help pay for tuition. Higher education must be free. 🤞🏾
Today I start my new job as an Associate Professor at the University of Johannesburg’s Ali Mazrui Centre for Higher Education Studies. Looking forward to this amazing journey, and making a contribution to this important institution. Thank you, always ❤️📚☺️
@go2uj
Such a weird and debilitating logic here👇🏾. I suffered so others must also suffer cannot be it. Surely this is an opportunity for radio stations to start paying decent salaries. We can’t keep chastising & judging Black people for not politely tolerating their exploitation. No.
Haai. U must make a plan. I used to sleep under the desk at YFM , waiting for my show to start at 3am. I’d be there from 6pm cos I had to use taxi’s from west rand. Then I got a car, a Tazz. and would put R50 petrol uku’fika. Abanye used to sleep on couches waiting for the show.…

That’s because she’s 64 years old! The woman released her first album when she was 25, she can’t be expected to stay the same in a 40 year career.
No, read the entire thesis. That’s why it’s called a publication, they are all publicly available. Not everything can be neatly and cutely packaged in bite size pieces for you to consume. Read the whole thesis, its context, methodology and the contribution to the field. Its NB.
Guys also post your thesis’s and the value they are adding onto the country’s research and development landscape. Summarise and do threads for us. We should also normalise celebrating the actual knowledge not just the gowns

What’s really sad about this moment, what’s truly tragic, is that ubhuti Sello Maake KaNcube has achieved so much in his life. He doesn’t need to be disrespected & undermined like this. Wits, UCT, Rhodes, Stellies, UP etc all have an ethical obligation to honour this giant 😭❤️

Its not just about degrees. It's about the structural and systemic inequality were whites can get jobs and succeed without any formal qualifications in a country were Blacks can hold BAs/MAs/PhDs AND still be unemployed. Thats the focus here.
📣📣📣 I have been invited to serve on the Council on Higher Education (CHE)’s Research, Monitoring and Advice Committee (RMAC), from 12 March 2024 to 11 March 2027! I look forward to making a contribution to this important national asset. Thank you, always. ☺️❤️✅
My favourite part of a masters or PhD thesis? The dedication section! There you find the hidden stories, narratives and life journeys you never knew as a supervisor! It’s always so humbling, and eye opening. I love that section. 🤞🏽❤️
Academic performance is always political & structural. Issues such as poverty, gap between basic Ed & higher education, academic literacy, outdated teaching strategies, accommodation, hunger on campus….all impact on academic performance. Let’s have a holistic debate beyond marks
Brandon I have + 32 peer reviewed research outputs, +50 public lectures & seminars given, +38 national and international conferences presentations all focusing on the different aspects of higher education as a colonising institution. You are not worth engaging. Askies. 🤞🏽

The more she speaks the more am convinced she lacks any real understanding of the crisis between Israel & Palestine. She continues to choose a shameful and disgraceful stance in legitimating what is universally agreed to be an apartheid state. Lalela is embarrassing us.
Lalela says she's going to Israel because of the women that came before her that fought for our voices. What about the voiceless women of Palestine? Does she not feel she should stand up and fight for them?
@davenewworld_2
No problem! Since they believe in “religious freedom” so much, I hope a Muslim does the same thing in the gym or in the plane and let’s how tolerant they really are.
Massive congrats to my MED student, Mrs Bongiwe Ngcobo who just submitted her thesis for examination a few moments ago. Bongiwe's thesis looks at the challenging experiences of women academics as they continue to navigate and negotiate their belonging in the university. ❤️📚🔥

Am not sure I understand how Mashaba was suppose to respond. In less than 2 minutes, he was called a puppet, supporter of National Party and someone who could never be trusted. Mashaba was correct, SA is a constitutional democracy and you are free to vote for whoever you trust.🤞🏽

Herman Mashaba was asked a simple question “why must we vote for you?”
He replied like someone coming out of the toilet

🗣️My latest article has just been published with the South African Journal of Higher Education. In this article, I build on the work of Pinar, Ramose, Shawa and Le Grange to develop the concept of Ubuntu currere, ie, Ubuntu curriculum. The paper is publicly available.Camagu ☺️❤️
📣📢 Our paper with uNkululeko Majozi has just been published with the Journal of Human Resource Management. In the paper, uNkululeko and I focus on the experiences of Black early career academics, and the challenges they face in the university. The paper is now available. ☺️✅❤️
This party really struggles with critique, difference and simply accepting that some people will always believe and think differently. Thats weird, intolerant and undemocratic.
Women EFF MP were beaten up in parliament, which led to miscarriages by our members. None of this lot were up in arms like they are with a simple issue of compliance.
Shut the f*ck up sometimes.
We don’t have to share anything with you. We cannot compensate for your laziness, and refusal to actually read substantively. All theses come with an abstract, you can draw your summary from there. Either way, read. Some arguments need to be engaged with in their proper context.
Did I say i dont want to read the whole thing or did i ask ya’ll to share?
Did you know that at the end of a thread you add the link to the full publication?
Attending the University of Johannesburg’s October graduation! Massive congratulations to all the graduates and their families for this amazing achievement. Special recognition to the first generation graduates who are the first in their family to come to university. We see you.
Massive congrats to my baby sister uXolisile Hlatshwayo on passing her matric! I am incredibly proud of you baby! Now to the next challenge, no pressure. 😂❤️❤️✅✅🫶🏽

I think we may be losing the plot here. Every administration practices cadre deployment - Biden, Macron, Sunak etc. what should be worrying us is when there is a mismatch between the skills required in that post and the person that is appointed. That’s the issue here.
Former DA leader Bongani Baloyi, and now Xiluva Party founder, claims the DA is practicing its version of cadre deployment. He unpacks the appointment of senior managers in municipalities and the DA's Federal Executive role.
