The story of Princess Mahogo - Fighting an invisible enemy
Imagine living with a disease that means you cannot eat most foods, keeps you out of school, blemishes your skin and forces you to move cities - but no one has a cure, and some doctors don't even believe you? This is the story of Princess Mahogo, a young South African woman who battled celiac disease for 19 years before she was diagnosed. She tells Don't Hold Back host Nozibele Qamngana Mayaba how she survived, and why she does not want other young South Africans to suffer a similar fate. The pair also discuss how stereotypes around 'African illnesses' and 'Western illnesses' hamper health services for young people.

    Why am I shocked that even men feel the pressures to using the skin bleaching. I always felt like they were deemed more "attractive" as dark. Wow, imagine in 2024 we're still dealing with defects of systematic racism; trying to achieve whiteness for success and to be considered beautiful.

    She does not look 35. She looks much older. To think being a lighter complexion meant more to her than the health of her skin let alone herself. Lighter doesn't equal more beautiful, so now she's lighter but at the expense of her beauty.

    "Japa" is not meant to be an economic solution but a survival solution. It does not behove on the ordinary Nigerian citizen to proceed solutions to the economic woes. It is for the government to figure out. People are simply seeking more economically friendly climes so they can be economically active and survive. Simples! Provide an enabling environment and even the people who have lives abroad will return in their droves. I come in peace!

    Very strange I live in the UK. I am white with curly hair and I’m constantly told to cover up and told that my skin is disgusting and ugly and I need to be darker like literally all the time. I can’t even even wear a vest outside without being told to cover up. I also get all this extra abuse about my hair or something because I couldn’t possibly have curls with this ugly white skin. Unless you are literally a tanned blonde supermodel who happens to be white, you’re not the right kind of white. Most white people don’t look beautiful and tanned most of us look like blotchy Scottish women lol. The media has portrayed this idea of what white people are supposed to look like when we don’t look like that those are people who have a bit of Spanish in them more a bit of something else and they look beautiful if you meet someone who’s genuinely British and they’re probably gonna be ugly like me.

    In kenya,we can speak both swahili and English,its not a sin to learn english but its a sin to abandon swahili.1.most of kenyans speak swahili more than english,matatu in stage call people using swahili,vendors sell in swahili,the large population speak swahili more ,english is only spoken on flrmal setting e.g,schools but the moment students step out of the school they automatically speak swahili,at home we communicate more in swahili,also the media but on media 7pm news is in swahili and english is in 9pm.for me kenya is balanced in language,we can interact with tanzanians even make jokes and they laugh,again we can communicate in english.the thing that killing as is stereotypes. 2.kenyans we have a good way of integrating different languages to suit our communication, we have english and swahili in one sentence and it will sound swahili,e.g,ni how much,naenda wera or nimepata job,nitumie fare,story za jaba.also 99%of kenyans can speak in swahili but a good number can understand english .in clubs people speak swahili
