Welcome to the world babies! It’s a crazy one but hopefully you will have the chance to change things through education unlike #Uncle MALINSO who is struggling to cope with life and all he can do to make himself feel good is to degrade others. Unfortunately his life has been so pathetic that he has hit an all time low and now he is verbally attacking babies. I ask God to forgive him please. Don’t worry MALINSO you will meet your maker sooner rather than later. Please pray for forgiveness. I will pray for you because you are obviously psychologically damaged. Sorry mate it ain’t your fault, just the world and your poor parents dear God I feel for them. Your mum gave birth to a baby human but somewhere along the road you mutated into something …goodness me something… well something..
