Ama 2k have become one of the most problematic generation to have ever existed. From being funny to being one of the most talented and outgoing generation.

While some have criticised the mom’s solution, many others have come to her defense, saying that she did what she had to do to make sure her daughter had shoes to wear to school.

South African comedian and TV personality Celeste Ntuli said: ” She’s creative and intelligent!! I am sorry take it as school of life fees… the design and shoe laces was fire though.”
