Ntsiki Mazwai took to X to commend the collective efforts of social media users that led to the arrest of Luvo, who was seen in a viral video mistreating his grandmother. The disturbing video sparked widespread outrage and mobilized a swift response from the online community.
“Well done to everyone who Posted and Reposted till Luvo was arrested Yoh! It’s an abomination in our culture to mistreat the elderly,” Mazwai wrote, expressing her relief and gratitude.
The video, which showed Luvo hitting his grandmother, quickly gained traction on X, prompting a massive outpouring of anger and calls for justice. The online community’s persistent reposting and tagging of relevant authorities played a crucial role in bringing the issue to the forefront and ensuring swift action was taken.
Mazwai’s tweet reflects a broader sentiment shared by many who were deeply disturbed by the incident. In many African cultures, respecting and caring for the elderly is a deeply ingrained value, and any form of mistreatment is considered a grave offense. The collective efforts to highlight and condemn Luvo’s actions underscore the community’s commitment to upholding these cultural values.
The incident also brings to light the power of social media as a tool for social justice. In this case, the rapid dissemination of information and the collective action taken by users on X ensured that the authorities could not ignore the issue, leading to a timely arrest and intervention.
As Luvo faces legal consequences for his actions, the community remains vigilant and committed to protecting the vulnerable and upholding cultural values that honor and respect the elderly. Mazwai’s acknowledgment serves as a reminder of what can be achieved when people come together to stand against injustice.
