Wow. Good for her. I'm angry at the idea that someone probably just looked at her name and assumed the W was a typo and dropped it without asking her. But this is amazing for her to do and take back what's hers. All the kudos, Thandiwe.

I mean, I doubt it was the typo thing, because even without the W people have made a point of not spelling her name correctly, so I'm assuming it was either an "innocent" mistype OR they just didn't like the look of it and decided to change it on their own. I'd assume if they thought it was a typo, they'd get rid of the H and the W both.

aww, good for ha. I can totally get leaving the mistake as is for so long because it's 'easier' and you don't want people blocking you or messing with you too. I'm happy she's at a place to change it
