Zandile2023-03-20Wow, I really enjoyed having this read. This is a powerful enlightenment, very impactful. A great life lesson shared, and thank you for being open and vulnerable to sharing this, most definitely not the easiest things to talk about.
Bilqees Baker2023-03-20Thank you for this very personal share Zubayr. I do feel that our community is not sensitive and will voice instantly about someone's physical features. It's not ok! Period! Thankfully younger parents are becoming more aware of its effect.
Alistair Hoffman2023-03-20Pragtig gestel, ek het ook klomp gewig opgetel en mense lewer elke dag kommentaar op my gewig. Al wat ek vir hulle sê dis seker die injection wat so maak.
Amanda2023-03-20Mooi geskryf. Maar neem asseblief in ag dat busry, stap of fietsry nie opsies vir ons generasie is nie. Jy waag jou lewe. Ek besit ’n huis, maar moet ook die kostes van alarms, diefwering, ensovoorts bysit. Jy kan nie van staatsdokters en hospitale gebr
Ria Opperman2023-03-20Beste Ansie,
Ek het ’n Little Readers Franchise in Welkom gekoop. Die program is vir kinders van 3 tot 13 jaar oud. Maar nou het ek reeds twee navrae ontvang van ouers met kinders in Graad 10 en 11 wat sukkel met leesbegrip, aandagafleibaarheid, asoo
Heilna du Plooy2023-03-20Dis 'n ironiese titel. Dit is geen fees nie, maar 'n oorlog, maar die vyand "vier fees" met dood en vernietiging. Die vyand is egter "ongenooi", ongenooide gaste wat kom kwaad doen met oorgawe asof hulle 'n fees kom vier.
Dawn2023-03-20It was quite an inspirational article. I used to be one of those that would mention people's gain weight because I was lucky I never used to gain weight excessively. Now that I'm older and my metabolism is going down, I get those words thrown at me. And i
Liz Jantjies2023-03-20Treffend, smartlik, hierdie woorde, soos vandag ook vir groot digters in ons alhoe-mineurder wordende klein literere kringetjie:
Maar daar is niemand aan wie ek my gedigte kan voordra
of wat die Latynse woorde kan hoor en begryp nie.
Ek skryf en le
Liz Jantjies2023-03-20Thank you. Striking this is, especially also for your sense of humour ("jy’t nou ’n vet gevriet, nè!”) and accute, sharp ear.
You could write brilliant satire, a very scarce commodity in writing these days around this neck of the woods - if you
Adela Abrahams2023-03-20Excellent article! This hits home so hard. Not directly to me but someone close to my heart. He too kept quiet, when these not nice remarks was passed to him and there is nothing wrong with his weight. But I wanted to dig my nails into the faces of these

Siddeeq2023-03-20Well-written piece, Zubayr! I commend you for being so open about what you’ve been through. Thank you for sharing your story with us, keep up the good work.
Faldilah Soeker Abrahams2023-03-20Aslam, my Darling Nephew. This piece of work is so well said. Every day of my life I hear the very same comment. You know how verbal I can get. I realised the people uttering those words are actually trying to pass off their own insecurities they are defi
F C2023-03-20Beste Angus, dit gaan nie oor die naam nie maar oor die verkeerde dinge wat ons as mense doen en wat voortspruit uit ons vermoë om dit te doen.
Carina2023-03-20Ek ken jou nie Danie, maar iewers is ons seker verwant want my pa is Pieter Gideon Malan en sy pa was Pieter Daniël Malan. Sy broer en ander familie is ook Pieter Daniël.
Hoe dit ook al sy ... die woorde wat jy vir jou pa geskryf het is presies hoe ek
Tashreeq Ryklief2023-03-19Well done, Zubayr. A well-written story and a very important life lesson to learn from. Shukraan Zubayr for sharing your experience with me, and the rest!
Although those words hurt you and others a lot, people do not recognise the fact that those hurtfu
Julian2023-03-19Hierdie pos klink fantasties. Ek stel baie belang hierin. Ek is wel geleë in Vanderbijlpark, maar is bereid om so bietjie rond te reis. Ek is mal oor edit-werk vir foto- en videowerk. Ek is beskikbaar en bereid en ek is 'n mense-mens.
Ibtisaam Arnold2023-03-19Wow, this really touched me because it's something that happens to me so often I block so many things out an people out of my life just because of this. I met you when you just left high school an to see the wonderful man you have grown to be, is amazing.
Irene2023-03-19Another amazing piece 🙌🙌love how you are never afraid to write what's really happening in you mind and heart you just let it all flow out and in the end come up with such an amazing and inspiring piece like this one. We don't hear a lot about men go
Jennifer Morris2023-03-19No, because I've been waiting for someone to write about this . As a teenager, a growing one, the amount of times people have just blatantly said "jy raak vet, neh" or "you must watch it my girl", becomes so tiring and just breaks my confidence to my cor
Katinka van Niekerk2023-03-19Tár gaan wel oor die aftakeling, deur haarself veroorsaak, van die karakter Tár. Maar die rolprent is in hoofsaak 'n liefdesgedig opgedra aan MUSIEK. Tár is slegs die brug, die persoon wat die liefdesgedig voordra. Die kern is in Tár se beskrywing v
Jos-lene2023-03-19Beautifully written, hit close to home, even though mine was on the opposite end. Lost so much weight last year and people kept commenting not knowing that I was suffering from severe anxiety and on the brink of depression. Had to take a look from within
Theolla Langenhoven2023-03-19Dankie vir jou skrywe, my maatjie. Ja, die 'liewe' mense is wreed daar buite, met 'n smaal op die gesig en 'n vlymskerp mes wat hulle diep in jou rug steek.

Tanya Mvududu2023-03-19This piece was very touching to one's heart.
You delved into a topic that isn't particularly discussed much. The lesson I took from this, is to not judge people without knowing their circumstances/reasons for how they appear.
