Remembering a legacy: Graduate's emotional tribute to his grandmother
Image: Supplied
In Honour of Mother's Day, a video of a university graduate has gone viral of him showing appreciation to his late grandmother at her workplace to pay homage for all her sacrifices.
Anthony Timoteus, 29, from Belville, said the video was taken in 2022 when he graduated with his Bachelor's Degree in Education at the University of the Western Cape.
But he only posted the video to social media on Wednesday evening.
The video, to the soundtrack of Wimpee's Afrikaans rendition of "The Lord bless you and keep you", has received 1.8 million views and shows Timoteus walking through rubble dressed in his cap and gown as he surprises his grandmother Aletha Muller at work, who is overjoyed.
The two spend a moment hugging each other while his grandmother sheds tears of happiness as her colleagues look on.
'The motivation behind the video was because my granny was hard working and never wanted to stay out of work as she was the breadwinner.
"So I decided to go to her place of work because she was the person who supported me financially during my time at university."

‘Everyone says you do white people things' – Zandi Ndhlovu on why she wants more black people to access oceans
Zandi Ndhlovu is Mzani's first black female freediving instructor. Zandi Ndhlovu who is also known as the Black Mermaid is big on bringing access in marine life. Picture: zandithemermaid/Instagram Zandi Ndhlovu says she got the 'black mermaid' tag during a radio interview where callers kept referring to her as 'watermeisie', which is the Afrikaans word for mermaid. 'I said there's something about that, because I feel like I've seen mermaids but I've never seen a black mermaid and somehow that kind of lived and it's stayed,' Ndhlovu tells The Citizen. 'Everyone will say 'but there's different mermaids that have always been black' but when you look at Ariel [The Little Mermaid], the exploratory way of living with the ocean that has no fear attached to it, there is not enough of that representation, and so black mermaid helped.' Ndhlovu, South Africa's first black female freediving instructor, spoke to The Citizen ahead of Shark Week, which officially starts on Monday in South Africa. 'I think Shark Week is such a powerful platform for people to get educated but also the opportunity to care,' said Ndhlovu. ALSO READ: Photographer's exhibition gives humanity a wake-up call on its impact on wildlife Shark Week Shark Week is an annual programming event on the Discovery Channel that celebrates sharks and ocean conservation. It features a week of shark-themed documentaries, specials and educational content. It's something that began in the US and is now in South Africa. While it kicks off on Monday in Africa, through Discovery Channel Africa, it wrapped up on Saturday in the US. 'Because of its scale, it [Shark Week] expands how we not only view sharks but who can be in the shark space and who can live and work in that space,' said Ndhlovu. Some of the shows that will be screened on Discovery Channel Africa throughout this week include Battle for Shark Mountain, Great White Reign of Terror and Air Jaws: The Hunt for Colossus. 'What makes this year especially exciting is the incredible talent and stories coming out of Africa, from the breath-taking coastlines of Mozambique to the powerful voices of local scientists and conservationists,' said Head of Factual Channels DNets EMEA & Scripted Acquisition CEE, Kerrie McEvoy.

'I was 28 years old, had no idea how to use a mask to snorkel and just absolutely fell in love, that's of course after I freaked out.' She says she found a sense of belonging when she snorkelled. 'That feeling of belonging would go on to change everything cause I knew I wanted to live with the ocean.' She came back to South Africa and learnt how to scuba dive around 2017 and 2018. 'In 2019 I go on my first ever free diving course and as I held my breath under water, for the first time, there was that feeling [from 2016 in Bali] and I knew that's where I needed to be.' The following year, she qualified as a free-diving instructor, going on to become South Africa's first black female free-diving instructor. 'From there, I started the Black Mermaid Foundation because I knew that I don't want to work in a dive shop. I want to work to create access and increase representation because again, I come from Soweto, where we have different beliefs about water,' she says. Ndhlovu adds that the idea is not to completely change these beliefs about water. 'It's the hope that we could introduce duality in how we view the world.' ALSO READ: Khabonina Qubeka on Shaka iLembe role: 'My aim as an artist is to make you feel' Ndhlovu on representation She says the vision to be more intentional about representation and creating access expanded after 2019. 'It is said that when you arrive in a room and you're the only one, your job is to keep that door open to make sure that everybody can enter the room and for me it was not about being the only one there that said how do we see a future that's more representative. How we save anything is all hands on deck,' she shared. 'The more you educate, the more people know. The more people know, the more people do. That's why for us ocean literacy is huge,' she shared. Ndhlovu has been named in the BBC 100 Women list, and she continues to inspire as a powerful voice for ocean equity and youth empowerment. She decided to target kids because they are more receptive to her teachings about marine life. 'Everyone would say 'you do white people things'. I knew that my friends are not the way in which we're gonna change this. I said 'what does it mean if we try and catch them when they're young' and that's how I started working with kids, 10 to 15 year olds.' ALSO READ: Saving the environment through song Collaborating with communities She's now expanding and targeting high school students. Ndhlovu started by working with young students from Langa in Cape Town. She now works closely with Philippi Village, a safe and vibrant space that connects the Philippi community to necessary services, employment opportunities, educational resources, and cultural activities. 'When we worked KwaLanga, yes we worked with the community advice office but we have as strong support. So when you look at Philippi Village, they have an excited team that are actively trying to make sure that learners have access to these opportunities. They are so determined.' She says that when the Black Mermaid Foundation partnered with Philippi Village, opportunities began to open up. 'We've opened our first ocean hub. I think it's important for the kids to go out to sea but they need to see that sea represented in their communities and we work in township spaces. How do you change a narrative without the community being able to witness this ocean space in their everyday as well.' The Black Mermaid Foundation's ocean hub is a container located in the Philippi Village, where students can visit to learn about sea life. 'Philippi Village gave us a safe space to establish the ocean hub and we're growing, we're expanding our work from one-off snorkel mission, educational missions to six weeks intentional missions that capacitate high school students to leaders in the ocean space,' she says. 'We want the world to witness Africa in her brilliance. Just because we grow up in townships, our geniuses are different because we have a different kind of lived experience. 'Our genius shows up from the communities from which we come. We can build things that can scale because South Africa is 80 percent black, so much of our experiences are lived and shared.'

'I'm not giving up': Eben Etzebeth book set for launch
Eben Etzebeth is set to release his biography based on his life, particularly as the Springboks' highest-capped player. The book – titled Unlocked in English and Ten Slotte in Afrikaans – will be on shelves in October. EBEN ETZEBETH BOOK TO TELL LIFE STORY ON AND OFF PITCH In an Instagram post, Eben Etzebeth announced the news of his debut book, a biography about his life as a high-profile rugby player. He posted: 'Over the past few months, I've taken time to reflect on my journey, the highs, the lows, the lessons, the people, and the moments that have shaped me on and off the field. 'Unlocked tells my story, from growing up in Goodwood to my aspirations, the challenges I've faced, and what it really took to wear the green and gold.. Thank you to everyone who's supported me; this one is for you'. Eben Etzebeth's book will officially launch in October. In the interim, it can be pre-ordered at bookstores. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Eben Etzebeth (@ebenetzebeth4) Meanwhile, Eben Etzebeth hopes to continue to play professionally for South Africa as long as he can. The 33-year-old said: 'l want to wear that No. 4 jersey in the Green and Gold as many times as possible. 'The competitive spirit is still strong in me, I'm not giving up my place. I want to be in the team for as long as possible. I'm not thinking about playing until this year or that year. I'm just going to keep pushing. The important thing is not to fall behind with fitness. The big challenge is trying to avoid injuries because recovery becomes harder as you get older'. The highest-capped Springbok is currently Eben Etzebeth, who has made 133 appearances in green and gold. Last October, the 33-year-old surpassed Victor Matfield's previous record of 127 caps. Apart from the duo, only six more Springboks have surpassed 100 test caps: Bryan Habana, Tendai Mtawarira, John Smit, Jean de Villiers, Percy Montgomery, and recently, Willie le Roux.
