Nokuthula Mavuso slams tweep over 'late marriage fears' comments
It's no secret that Twitter is filled with people who make general, sweeping statements.
So when one tweep generalised that a woman's worst fear is "late marriage", Nokuthula Mavuso took it as a chance to educate.
The actress, who often drops pearls of wisdom on Twitter, wasn't about to let the tweep "get off" with his seemingly ignorant post.
Nokuthula went ahead and listed the top five things that are way worse than being married late.
"Let's see... 1. Being raped, 2. Being beaten or murdered by a partner, 3. Not living long enough to see one's children grow, 4. Not standing up and making one's voice heard and 5. Terminal illness… Ziningi maan (they are a lot man)," she wrote.
Nokuthula maintained that there was a long list of things women feared on a daily basis that had absolutely nothing to do with "taking up some stranger's name and the nonsense they bring".
Let's see...

After observing a heated conversation on her TL, where a woman's opinion was seemingly dismissed, Nokuthula also asked followers why it seemed like leaders resorted to "personal attacks" when confronted by a woman.
"Why are some so-called leaders so quick to dismiss individuals who ask questions? They quickly resort to personal attacks rather than give straight answers. Especially if it's a woman asking a man questions," she asked.
Nokuthula added that it looked like these "leaders" were full of themselves.
I think leadership camps are needed throughout the year for such 'leaders'.

Until they get that leaders ARE followers too. Not all your ideas are great. Some of those ideas cause the very team you lead to collapse.
'Om te lei is on te volg.'
Then there are those 'leaders' who believe every woman they come across should speak and behave the same way the women in their lives behave. Emsebenzini? That "ngiyalibeka" attitude. Even though kusobala ukuthi leyo idea is a waste of time and resources.
