The lady caught her dad gossiping about her to her mother and started filming their interaction, which she posted on TikTok on Monday. The video went viral, reaching over 300,000 views in five days.

Because both of Tiwane’s parents are living with disabilities, they found ways to communicate. Her dad is both deaf and blind, while her mother is only deaf.

The two use sign language to communicate, and Tiwane’s father must feel what someone is trying to communicate by holding their hand to read or sense the signals to understand what the next person is saying.

Tiwane’s father had a lot to get off his chest about his daughter and had gossip sessions with his wife. The youngster was floored by how her father outed her and shared evidence on TikTok:

“POV: My dad is gossiping about me. Hi guys, my parents are bonding over my name.”

In the video, Tiwane’s father is seen excitedly communicating with his wife using sign language. The lady responded using sign language, but to accommodate her husband, she rested her hand in his so that he could read every sign.

Their patience and softness towards each other touched thousands of people on the internet. South Africans were inspired by their love story and shared lovely messages.
