Graduation day is a huge moment. A young man decided to share his special moment with those who were unable to have the opportunities he has, his ancestors.

Many years ago, as a result of apartheid, people of colour were not privileged to be able to go to university and get a tertiary qualification. So, when this young man got his, he remembered those before him.

Twitter user @sfiso_hlongwa shared touching pictures from his graduation, showing off his traditional attire with great pride. What a thoughtful gesture.
