Basically, stop expecting people in mourning to feed you ...

In response to a tweet about why funerals can be problematic, Sizwe came up with his own rules to celebrate the dead.

“Normalise not eating at funerals. Also normalise having short funerals so people don’t even get hungry,” wrote Sizwe. Many users were confused at his comments, saying that Sizwe is disrespecting African customs. Here are some comments from the displeased tweeps: If you don't eat at Limpopo funerals it's considered an offence. And it doesn't end there, there is punishment, if there comes a funeral at your home, the entire village won't eat resulting at a loss.Cows won't eat themselves thought. Inkunzi ikhatshwa ngenkunzi then a sheep tomorrow for cleansing. Our funerals are ritualistic.

I agree

Here in CT Townships people attend funeral with their own Spoons and camp chairs. Funeral is a 'Food place' for them. Most People attend funerals for the freebie plate🤣

💯 ! Instead cook and bring a meal for the bereaved. Take some work off their shoulders and afford them time to grieve. Iqiniso leli elikhulunywa u Sizwe.
