South African Man Silences Those Throwing Shade at Poor Souls Working in December: “Be Respectful”

• A man stepped forward on social media to defend the poor workers who are working tirelessly through the holidays
• The man reminded those who were making jokes that their festive fun would not be possible without these people
• While many agreed with the man, there were a select few who are in full Dezemba mode that continued to crack jokes

The festive season is in full swing and unfortunately, not everyone is blessed enough to spend time with their loved ones on holiday. A man stepped forward to defend the poor souls still slaving away over December.

December's time is meant to be filled with family, friends, food and festivities; however, that is not the case for some.

Read the post below:

“Stop shaming people for going to work this December because, without them, you can't withdraw your money, you can't fill up your cars, you can’t buy alcohol, or meat to braai, you won't have electricity, or water or network and you can’t even get attention when you get sick.”

Mzansi has mixed feelings about the post

Some people stepped forward, standing by the man, especially those still working. However, some people told the man to chill and continued to throw shade.

Read some of the mixed comments:

@Hautsommet3 was shook:

“I’m working in telecoms and don’t have a holiday, who is mocking us?”

@NhloniphoBhebhe found the silver lining:

“Some people prefer working throughout December and take long leave in January. Even prices are reasonable then for vacations and stuff.”
