Social media users will know that Instagram and Facebook stories disappear after 24 hours – and Schalk Bezuidenhout has explained why he chose to share the news in this manner.
He mentioned that the internet can be harsh sometimes and even though he has a thick skin, he wanted to break the news in a way that would prevent anyone from commenting negatively.
‘Be kind’
He also shared that his mom loves to read comments and asked that people who see the video be kind in their comments.
Bezuidenhout added that the most heartwarming thing has been the support he’s received from not only his fans, but complete strangers as well.
