Ngisakhumbula ngise primary, going to the same school lobhudi wami engahlala laye for a couple of years. An older (cousin) brother. Sengiku Grade 3, my brother and I got into an argument sisendlini. Ugogo wasiphehekela ama pancakes, ngadla awami ngatshontshela ubhudi awakhe. So to punish me and make sure ukuthi angiphindi ngikwenze – he gave me a fair share of flurry punches on my face. Ngazonda, ngaba lolaka ngezwa ngilunywa yisifiso soku revenger. Ubhudi wami was in Grade 7. So eskolo, I gathered a few of abangane bami then ngabatshel’ ukuthi kwenzakaleni endlini. So we decided to make it even lobhudi wami. Ngesikhathi se-break mina and roughly about ten of abangane bami, we marched sisiya eklasini yakhe ubhudi wami. That day, sasingesabi ukuthi yena mdala and mkhulu. We were armed with deadly weapons like rulers, lunch tins, water bottles, etc. Sithe sfika eklasini yakhe, omunye umngane wakhe wamtshela nge invasion yethu. Then yena waphuma eklasini – curiously. “Kanti uyenzani Tau?” wabuza emangele, while looking at a troop of soldiers that had my back. “UNGITSHAYELENI EK’SENI!?” I asked him aggressively. “Hee-?” Wayenga believe ukuthi I was really doing this. “Okay… Okay… Sorry mfanami… Sorry… Buyelani eklasini, i-break siphela.” Wayelokhe ethalaza. He clearly didn’t want to be embarrassed. So I flexed my muscles, ngatshibilika, and then I had an immediate and crucial discussion with my soldiers and then we, as a team, decided ukumekela. “Yi-warning leyi.” I gave my brother a warning, ngatshibilika ngahamba ngibuyela eklasini, ama fearless Commanders ami ehamba eceleni kwami. I heard a rumor that, while we marched back, ubhudi wami labangane bakhe bahleka baze balala phansi. … That day, ubhudi wami was actually proud of me. Sesisendlini akazange ethi aggression is bad. Or violence is bad. He told me where to use it. As much as the times engitshela nge importance of kindness, he also told me the importance of protecting abantu engibathandayo. He told me that I need aggression. He told me I need violence. He told me I really need to learn how to throw a good punch. I just need to know where and when to use that. #16DaysOfActivism https://www.instagram.com/p/BqugoJRA15M/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8cdrb6drw2mc
