If you think posting pictures of your child on social media is
cute then you are definitely not Dj Zinhle. Dj Zinhle whose real name is
Ntombezinhle Jiyane, in an interview with Z'KHIPHANI spoke about her decision
of taking her and AKA's daughter, Kairo off social media after she felt that
her baby was overexposed on social media. She added that Kairo is still a baby
and she thought she (Kairo) needed time out. We recently realized that she
doesn't post pictures of her child on Instagram.
There was a time
where we have seen Kairo's pictures on social media but the 'My name is' hit
maker has put that to an end. This comes after her nanny was once attacked by
some couple for refusing them to take pictures with Kairo. She thinks that this
would have never happened had they did not know how Kairo looked like and the
nanny could just walked in peace. 'Now my nanny has a fear of taking my child
for a walk and my child need to be taken for a walk' said Zinhle.
There is unwritten
rule that one should not post photos of other people's children on social media
but what about those who put their own children? Are they thinking about the
consequences before posting those pictures especially if you are a public
figure? Social media is a great way to obtain information about people's
business and it is important to know how to use it wisely.
What we must
understand is that a celebrity's child is not a celebrity. The misunderstanding
becomes a problem for celebrity's child when she/he grows older because people
have expectations of them and they have to maintain certain expectations people
have of them. They expect them to follow their parent's footsteps and if they
fail to do so it is a problem as they will be judged for living up their own
expectations for themselves and not those of others. A good example in this
context is Bongani Fassie, son of late Brenda Fassie.
