Tamia, Khanyisa and myself have been kidnapped. While everyone was running to hide for their lives, they managed to capture us and kidnap us. At least they feed us and they bring us dishes with water, soap and a vaslap to clean ourselves. We sleep on mattresses that look like they've just been rented out of a prison cell. And they are directly on the floor. I feel like I live under those horrible conditions that I grew up in. Tamia,...
I love being at home. And I definitely believe that I needed this week off from school and just be at home. I've been attending lessons virtually and doing all my work. I think I needed the biggest break from Mnqobi and his shit. My dad was really nice. We had movie night every night. His girlfriend joined us once or twice, but for most nights, it was the two of us. This weekend is Michelle's event in suncity. I...
"These outfits are so nice! Yoh! Your friend is talented! Look at how good we look!" Molise says to me."I never thought I'd be into sotho looks, but these... I'm sold!" I say.He laughs and says, "you are a sotho bride. You better find it in you to be into sotho outfits." Ruri did the damn things! If we look like this, I wonder what the bride and groom look like. She even designed for the king and queen! She will be...
I’m sitting in Terrence’s car that is parked outside of Mercy’s apartment. Mercy is baby mama number three. We are here to pick up Tshepo, her son. He’s spending the weekend with Terrence. I’m apparently featuring tomorrow because he has a soccer tournament at school. His mother will not be in attendance, from what I understand, because she has a job. She’s the least problematic baby mama. She’s the reasonable one who understands what co-parenting is and she’s the only...
“Please make fat cakes and coffee for all the elders in there, ngwana waka”. This man is tap-dancing and my last nerve.“No!” I say firmly and angrily.“What did you say?” He says. I see Mamholo running into the kitchen as if to stop a fight.“I said no! Mamholo, who the hell are these people? I’ve never seen them a day in my life! But they are all here telling us what to do, eating all our food - including your stock...
“FUCK! FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCKEN HELL! THAT BITCH WITH HER WIDE HIPS AND AN ASS AS BIG AS TWO PLANETS PUT TOGETHER HAS FUCKEN ESCAPED WITH ALL THE FUCKEN KIDS!” He says. I see relief of faces here. I even see Banathi and Mnqobi smiling. Wehweh just saved all of us! She actually just saved the church! Khanya wanted to know more about me and didn’t want me to shut him out, so he’s kidnapped right here with us.“You think we wont get...
Honestly, I miss Mnqobi out of my mind. I’ve had the most difficult time having to accept what he did. It took me back to when my family fell apart because my mom cheated on my dad. My father became an alcoholic. He fell apart right in front of me. I bathed him. I fed him like a child. I had to survive alone while he was in rehab getting better. Now, here we are. It took us forever to...
This year, I made a resolution to be a better and a more involved mother to my kids. Molemo is still living with us, so he is one of my kids until next steps. So today, I’m taking him quad-biking for our mommy-and-me date. He’s really excited. Molise is keeping the other two entertained. Their turns are coming. They understand though… my sweet kids. Molemo and I ride our quad bikes throughout this place that we are at. I struggled a...
My first day as the queen’s lady-in-waiting had me understanding the nature of work that she does, what is expected from her then of course, what is expected from me. She then had to go out and be about being the queen and I flew out to Gauteng to check in on the Onaleruna Khotso College; the school that she has built. It’s a stunning school. Everyone is extremely professional. The head office is literally some corporate functional office. I had...
I am at one of my township local restaurants today. I’ve been checking in on business all day - from the clubs to the restaurants. Sometimes I just decide that I’ll randomly work at one of my establishments and everyone must adjust. It helps to keep people in check. They never know when to expect me and they are all scared of me. Wehweh is good with the administration of my businesses. She does my books, policies and all the...
