Yires encouraged to take care of where they come from

Political analyst and cultural expert, Professor Musa Xulu, has encouraged young people to not look at taking care of home and their communities as ‘Black tax’ but rather as a contribution.

The cultural expert says taking care of where you come from is part of the African culture, heritage and tradition.

Hadebe was trending on X over the weekend after he shared with social media users that for the first time his family has a shower, bath and a toilet inside the house.

While some congratulated him on the feat, others described it as a burdensome obligation that he had to do because of ‘Black tax.’

The content creator, however, doesn’t feel like that.

Speaking to YNews, Hadebe says he’s supporting his family so that his younger siblings don’t go through what he did while growing up.

He says he would have taken care of home even if he had come from a wealthy family.

Prof Xulu says when one takes care of home, in whatever way they choose to, there’s a sense of reward that comes with it.

He has encouraged Yires to play an active role in taking care of where they come.

The young content creator says financial literacy is important when one has a big goal they want to achieve.

He has advised Yires to understand that dreaming big to achieve something requires to start small and save.

Black tax is the label for the situation, not his response to it.
He is working to bridge a gap that was created by colonialism & apartheid, only black people have that to deal with and “that” is called black tax.
Acknowledging this is so triggering because it as bad as it feels. https://t.co/sCuOoGZ9qo

Apartheid created a system that set black people so far back that instead of helping their children, their children have to help them. Other races buy their children cars, help them pay for apartments, and pay for their schooling, because they are so far ahead they don’t need… https://t.co/ybViOyQ8uW
