+1 metadata and "big gay rainbow".
As for Madiba, I've noticed a lot of people using this like Mandela was their favourite uncle. But does anyone here actually know the cultural norms in SA for using someone's tribal name? There are plenty of cultures where such names are only to be used by relatives and/or actual tribes, or people you're in a family-type relationship with. I'm sure a lot of people reckon they're getting away from colonialism by using a non-English name, but the man himself didn't seem to make any efforts to use any other name officially.
It may well be fine, using the tribal name, but I don't know how many people using it know that for certain. It's been bugging me this week.

it seems to have been a constant overt and underlying part of so many topics, opinions, news items and whatnot in my various feeds and discussions this year, over a number of issues that spanned the globe....

I looked it up, and apparently using someone's clan name is a sign of respect, but it sill seems inappropriate for me to use it.

I’m glad someone brought this up. It’s been bugging me too.
I looked it up, and apparently using someone’s clan name is a sign of respect, but it still seems inappropriate for me to use it.
Ditto.

Yes, Not to put any PRESSURE ON OR ANYTHING but if #twitteraunties wins, then that's where the hamper's going. To Te Whare Marama. Because they deserve it. (Someone else can claim the whiskey).

Hebe,
Twitteraunties so Jackie gets the hamper.
Also I'm quite relaxed about that (translation: I don't give a flying fuck.)
Big gay rainbow was wonderful.
We need categories: WOTY overall winner etc.

prize obviously to Jackie and co if.

+1 for #twitteraunties
