Woman Turned Away From Limpopo Funeral for Not Wearing Doek, Sparks Online Debate: “Askies”

• A woman who attended a funeral in Limpopo was kicked out of the cemetery for not being compliant
• The lady was supposed to adhere to the tradition and wear a doek, however, she had no way of knowing
• The online community reacted to the post, with many asking questions for clarity and sharing similar experiences

A woman took to her Twitter account and shared that she was chased out of the funeral because she was not compliant.

According to @_sdvh, she attended the funeral without knowing that she should have doek on. She was not the only one, others also didn't have doeks including some family members of the deceased and people who lived in the village.

Because she didn't have a doek on, she was not allowed to go to the cemetery where the body was laid to rest. She noted that there were women who were dressed inappropriately and were let in, including men who had no blazers and others who had no doeks.
