‘We had to babysit’ Student shows up with baby at school

A video of a student who brought her baby boy to school captured the hearts of mzansi, with some being nostalgic that a similar incident happened to them because they did not have a babysitter at the time.

While the reasons for the TikTok user with the username @sisipho.lilly bringing her son to school remains unclear, it appears that she is a student in one of the colleges in Cape Town. When asked in the comment section how she accessed entry at the school gate, she said she phoned the office admin of her school to let them know that she would be bringing her son to class.

In a clip that was shared by TikTok @bongipula, who happens to be her lecturer, Sisipho can be seen entering her class with her baby strapped on her as she has his bag and her school bag with her.

In another video, which is also shared by the lecturer, the students, including the lecturer, can be seen gushing over the baby and taking turns babysitting him, while some can also be seen feeding him his milk bottle.

This heart-melting video had some of the TikTok users wishing they attended the same class so they could also hold the baby.

TikTok users shared their thoughts in the comment section.

One user wrote: “Reminds me of my niece.We would meet at the gate ya WITS and I’d take the baby and she’d go to class.Today she’s an attorney.It really takes a village.”

Another one commented: “Where are you sis ? Maybe I can baby sit next time and you go to school.”

Another one added: “The child is ahead of her time, already attending lectures.”

Sisipho also took to her TikTok page to share a mini vlog of her and baby Licebo at school. From the vlog Licebo had the time of his life at school, with aunties from the cafeteria holding him and gushing over him.
