Today, Utopia opens. I am so excited. We have complementary drinks to welcome all our day one customers. Kgomotso is here to help me today. She will be our receptionist until the offices at home are up and running. But with how things are going, we might just find another location for offices because my mom kicked our offices out of her yard. My employees are all here and they are so professional in their uniform. Yes, I make them...
Pearl It's been a great week. The week of holidaying with my spoiled child and my new found sex buddy has been great. I am no longer sexually frustrated. Qaphela did more than just open the flood gates again. He made me feel good and wanted again. The air is so much cooler. The birds' singing is so much louder. The flowers are a lot brighter. Yoga feels so much more beautiful. I'm happy. I'm glowing. IVF drip treatment for...
Zelda My maternity leave has to be cut short because I am starting my training with K-pable-C Bars. In the next two months, I'll be managing one of their branchesin Fourways. I am excited. But on the personal side, Mthunzi and I are in a weird place. The resurfacing of Sindi in our lives hasn't done us any favours and it irks me that he plays straight into her games every time. I guess she has been with him for years,...
"Why are we here, mommy?" Siya asks me. Sandile and I look at each other. "We just going to be staying here for a little while, my boy", Sandile answers him. My mom has been judging Sandile and I since we left Diepkloof. She is not happy. She has a lot of questions - many of which question my sudden closeness with Sandile. If there are two people who can fight on this planet, it is Sandile and I. Sandile's...

Lydia 6am meetings. I have always hated them and I have always believed that I am too junior to be sitting in them. People who get paid the real money are the people who are paid to sit in such meetings. I'm just a specialist. I have no business being here. The meeting is virtual and the big guns are preparing for a meeting with my man. It amazes me how scared they are of him. Thomas is such a teddy...
Pearl Today, Qaphela and I are having lunch with Gcina and we are just intervening in this behaviour of hers that I just don't like. We are at Circus Circus. I can just tell that Qaphela and Gcina are here for the first time. I help them pick their meals and we place our order. As soon as the waiter disappears, I start. "Gcina, your father and I are worried about you." "Why?" "Because we don't believe that you've made...
"Koena! Tlisa ngwana!" My mom says from wherever she is in the house. My parents have been here for weeks now. The plan was for them to help me out with Thingo, but they honestly just frustrate me. They should have come by after Mthunzi went back to work."You are so beautiful, my love", Mthunzi says to me as I breastfeed our son. I look at him and smile. "We must make more kids. Look at how handsome Thingo is", he says. I chuckle. I will give him more...
Disclaimer: Tonight’s episode is not for sensitive readers."Sindi!" George is yelling for me. I am lying in the same spot he left me in last night when he beat me up and left me lying in a pool of my own blood. I do not even have the energy to respond to his call. My entire body is in so much pain. I can barely move. There are places aching in my body that I never even knew existed. "Sindi!" He keeps yelling. I just...
I love being a mom. I really do. My daughter is gorgeous and she is everything I wake up and look forward to looking at. I am having issues coming to terms with the fact that I'll be leaving her at home as I prepare to go back to work full time. I was there on a part-time basis because hey, I am Lydia Khalo. My mom is convinced that she is my daughter's nanny. She is even talking about going on early retirement...
