The photo campaign sees students posing with messages to their unborn sons. The blog hosts all manner of messages, although most are warnings, like here with this man: “if you wish to survive, you must be beyond reproach”.
The photos are also being widely shared on Twitter, generating a lot of praise. Social networkers view this campaign as an intelligent way of protesting a social system that sees the black community treated differently, unfairly, and an original alternative to the ongoing street protests.
