Le Shoutout 🧣

On Saturday, I went to Mohammed for a haircut.

As I walked in, a man looked at me:

“It doesn’t look like you need your hair cut,” he said.

I agreed.

I didn’t need my hair cut, but I needed a haircut.

So, I sat in the chair, shook Mohammed’s hand, and looked at myself in the mirror.

“Do you like my moustache?” I asked him.

“Yes, it suits your purpose,” he replied.

“And what’s that?” I asked.

“Showing solidarity with others,” he said casually.

I smiled. The haircut had started, yet no hair had been cut.

Shoutout to the barber who always trusts his gut.

Reminder: Get more haircuts, not just hair cuts.

Le Story ✍️

Last week, as Malwande served me coffee, he saw a sheet of paper in my hands.

“Speech?” he asked.

“Final one of the year,” I said.

“Good luck,” he said.

“Thank you,” I replied. “Almost there!”

“We have a saying,” he said. “Sukhwaza usesehlathini.”

“What does that mean?” I asked.

“If you are still in the jungle, don’t shout.”

“Only shout when you’re in the clear.”
