What Is "KASI" life

In South Africa Kasi Originates from the late 19th century, its popularity came during the apartheid times when non-white racial groups (blacks, coloured and Indians) were forcefully removed out of their residences to "special" undeveloped places. Due to overpopulation poverty and poor access to resources townships faced severe challenges and problems, but looking at the present times townships commonly called "KASI" are now being referred to as hotbeds for creativity, diversity, youth culture and a lively place to network and connect with people after a long day at work. however some townships have been rapidly developing since 1994 more especially in formerly disadvantaged communities due to business opportunities, entrepreneurial success stories and creative endeavors  emerging on daily bases. https://www.mywanderlust.pl/life-in-South-african-townships/

#hashtags

Another useful way for the practice of social media is the usage of hashtags, using a hashtag is a way of expressing the thought of the moment and choosing to embrace how you feel about a certain thing at the present moment and time. however hashtags have the ability to keep people talking and create a negative influence in social media when misused and abused therefore it is very critical for one to be careful when using hashtags. https://searchenginewatch.com/sew/how-to-/2305444/the-role-of-hashtags-in-social-media-and-search

#Disadvantages of using social media as a public relations practitioner

-There is no direct control of messaging because social media allows anyone and everyone to share their opinions
-Negative Feedback  about Kasi Life from people who have never been to Kasi
-it actually takes time to monitor  and maintain social media presence which might cause delayed responses from people who want to know more about Kasi Life
-Kasi Life can be reflected in one definition whilst there are so many ways of defining kas
-Posting about #KasiLIfe on social media will not have an emotional connection as much as when someone pays a visit and witness what Kasi is.
-Posting on social media will deny the sense of emotion or enthusiasm because it is not a "face to face" communication you cannot actually see how the other person is thinking about Kasi Life. https://www.rootsofaction.com/disadvantages-of-social-networking/
