"What exactly did you tell him?" Teboho is about to kill Ona and Khotso.We are all in Maboko's ward. He's stable. Apparently, he will be okay."We found out what Kabelo did, and we told him."Teboho is boiling. Even Ona is shaking."Why would you do that? Did it not occur to you that Teboho had her reasons for not telling him?" I also shout at them."Wait, you knew?" Khotso is dumb enough to ask me that."Of course, I knew. I'm her...
2011MabokoI'm headed home today. I'm going to spend the weekend there. I need to see Tebza and spend some time with her. She says that we've broken up, but I'm not going to accept that. That's my wife.Yes, I've fucked around, and I probably will not stop… I'm in university and I'm fucken nineteen. But Tebza is my wife and she's not getting rid of me that easily.Ona told me that Tebza has a netball game today, so I'm driving...
While Teboho and Letlali took all the guards to rescue our criminal husbands, we got kidnapped. We don't know where we are. But we are grateful for one thing - we are all in one basement or container or… I don't know where we are.Lulu, Fifi and Kea are trying to keep the kids calm. I'm the only one who has been studying the guards here, so I can see a gap and get us out of here.I've noticed a...
My siblings are still living with us and we are in no rush to have them leave. The kids though - yoh, they drive us crazy sometimes. But, I've picked up some new routines.Suzy has this thing where she meditates every morning. She has asked me to join her in it and I won't lie, it's so difficult to do it in the beginning. She turns on candles and plays music - the kind that makes you sleep. And I...
It is so weird to have a baby in the house. Shaka and I are rabbits when it comes to being sexually free in our house. Now, Wande wakes up and we know there's no sex until he takes a nap or until Tebza comes to take him for the day.I have just spent a good hour in bed and underneath my husband. Now, I'm in the kitchen, making breakfast and humming about. I'm in such a good mood. It's...
Lulu let me move into her duplex. Thankfully, she hadn't sold it when she married Khotso and moved in at the royal house. I called her to the side the day that Kea told me to go back home, and explained to Lulu why I cannot go home. She understood shame. She really did. So, she let me stay at her place - upon Ona's permission of course because that girl has no independence whatsoever - and now I am...
Today, mofomahadi takes off her mourning cloth. It's quite unbelievable that it's been a whole year since morena passed away. It's been an interesting year. Shaka and Fifi welcomed a baby boy who is now a couple of months old and Ruri's favourite cousin apparently. His name is some bombastic Zulu name that makes a very clear statement - no seSotho blood detected in him. His name is Akwand'impumelelo. Imagine introducing yourself as "Dumela, ke nna Akwand'impumelelo." If I were...
Thomas and I have just concluded our doctor's appointment. I'm close to giving birth to our son and he's extremely excited to be welcoming our baby boy into the world. I've had a bit of a difficult pregnancy. I've managed to get type two diabetes because of this pregnancy and I'm on bedrest every other week. This child has between today and two weeks from now to come into this world or I'll be induced and he will be forced...
The worst part about Mohato being gone is going to bed without him. I've been doing this for a month now and I'm still not used to it. Mohato was the only person on this earth who knew when I wasn't okay - I didn't have to tell him. And he would find a way to make me better without even saying it out loud. We could speak about anything and everything. I got through my sons getting married and...
I can never get used to these 4am church meet ups. Tebza always looks at me like she wants me to stay longer and my kids are usually fast asleep. I don't get the chance to wish them a good morning or ask them how they slept. Fortunately, my initiation into the church wasn't as long as the average person. Being Khotso's and Ona's best friend and a brother to Shak has worked to my advantage tremendously. So as of...
