]]>Older Zimbabweans on twitter took the morning to reminisce on being bashed by parents. They called it disciplinary action and credit their good behaviour to that upbringing.
However, with the rise of human rights activist movements, such discipline is referred to as child abuse. This has led to parents crying that they have lost control over kids that have grown up in this era. No wonder some Zimbabwean twitter users were reminiscing over the good old times. This came after a student complained about being caned by the headmaster.

Zimbabwe’s law does not say anything corporal punishment in the home. However, corporal punishment as a sentence for crime is unlawful.
Should this form of disciplinary action be brought back?

“The woman is even claiming that she will die together with the child”
The Cape Town-based mother issued a statement to confirm that she’s alive after a visit from the social welfare officials who had set out to collect her child. She said,
“I’m alive and strong.
Relatives of the girl’s father are with me as we speak and we were surprised to learn from social media that some are saying I hanged myself”
She continued to defend herself in regards to the video that had gone viral by saying,
“The video clearly shows that I was not beating her but she cried over seeing her mother expressing harsh words
The father wanted to use social media to find ways of taking the child from me but it failed to work”
The social welfare officials were also said to have left without the child after being satisfied that the child is safe and sound. However, the internet was not so pleased with this move. Some predominant sentiments are echoed in the remarks below:
