RACISM KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES

@Sisonkemsimang: The disrespect is not only do we have to “explain” our hair… we have to do it over and over.

@KhaliQakaSyd: There are those who are already using #PretoriaGirlsHigh to score political points. Never forget that they were in gov the past 22 years.

@YolaniZitumane: This story reminds me of the e.tv madness where a story could not be broadcast because the reporter was wearing a doek.

@Mphikelwa: Black girls having to assert their identity in their own motherland – Africa. Racism knows no boundaries #PretoriaGirlsHigh.

@ThandoSigubudu: The Eurocentric idea of what’s tidy doesn’t work for us Africans. We’re cut from a different cloth, and that’s denim bruh!

@enhle_flowers: It is our hair, our accent, our skin, our culture! Everything, we are prisoners in our own country Damn democracy! #PretoriaGirlsHigh.

@eleyeja: #PretoriaGirlsHigh upholding everyday violence on blackness and black bodies. Violence that is calibrated into rules and regulations of PGHS. @NomaLindaSays: Why should girls of African descent be told to style their hair in a specific manner? Such bull----. @GoodKidxDylan: I feel like modern South African society has failed those girls and others who suffer the same or similar oppression. @EliaMpoihi: South Africa is the capital country for breeding racists, they flourish and prosper under so-called freedom of speech. @SeadimoTlale: Mandela’s rainbow nation has been used to silence black pain far too long... and it’s not just #PretoriaGirlsHigh. @Bati_Zo: Most blacks lost confidence in the current government because after 2 decades there are still no laws to punish racists #PretoriaGirlsHigh @Feliciamabuza: BlackHairRocks! #PretoriaGirlsHigh get with the program & embrace. @RuptasMustFall: The oppressors pretend 2 like us, until they get home 2 their segregated white suburbs!.
