Belt, Shoe, or Flying Slipper? The Childhood Punishment Stories That Will Make You Scream!

From fetching your own belt to dodging a flying slipper or a wet sock, physical discipline was a shared rite of passage for generations of South Africans growing up. But looking back today, where do we draw the line between funny nostalgia and long-term childhood impact?
