Today, I'm meeting up with Oluremi at a stunning restaurant owned by Maboko – yes, my hubby is simply a business genius. The restaurant is called Rooftop. It's literally on a roof, but it's such a vibe. It has four floors and each floor is outdoors with a sunroof covering it to protect you from the sun. When you look at the building driving along the road, it looks like a staircase leading to the roof. This place is beautiful and...
We are halfway to the end of our story, and we want to celebrate with you. Thank you for keeping your eyes and imagination committed to this blog. I write for your entertainment and I can only hope that I do not disappoint. I was once asked why I love writing so much content. My truth is that I believe that with more local and/or relatable content, South Africans will read. These blogs have proven that. Most posts average 25 – 30...
I'm sneaking into my girlfriend's house because her parents are staying with her for some time. I don't understand why we must behave like kids. My mom doesn't treat me like this and I actually have sex in her house. Lulu now wants us to creep sneak like some teenagers in HER own house. Hai suka!We finally get to the bedroom and we can breathe and stop walking like mice. Tomorrow morning, I'm making a noise on purpose. These parents are not going...
"Khotso!" I yell from downstairs of my duplex. I have been on set all day today. One of my novels is being turned into a limited series and I've been called to consult on the project. I just hot home and I saw Khotso's car parked outside, so I know that he is here. "Baby!" I yell again. This guy still doesn't answer me. I make my way up the stairs. Why is he so quiet? He is not in the master bedroom. I find...
I'm meeting with my wedding planner today because he's the one who will be making sure that everything is as it should be. He is very organised and is even making me feel a bit nervous about this whole white wedding thing. I am nervous because it feels as if the date is too close and everything will not be ready on time. My wedding planner is afraid of Ona, so around Ona, he keeps it together and makes it...
Aus'Lebo and I are playing tennis just to keep fit this morning while my dad, Ntate Seete and Maboko watch the boys swim. Maboko has Ruri in his arms and he has my child wearing an oversized cap. I don't understand because Ruri has her own hats. But she also seems to be enjoying this oversized cap. She enjoys anything that she does with her father. You can already tell that she's going to be a daddy's girl. Ruri has...
Nathi is over a year old now and the second baby I have on the way has been baking in my tummy for seven months. I miss Zithulele with all my heart. I needed time and space to get our affairs in order, then I could get him out of prison and bring him home to comfort. I used an estate agent to find my ideal home in a quiet and gated suburb where we would have peace and have...
Thomas and I have bought a house together. A lot has happened for the past year. He proposed, I said yes, but I refused to stay in his late wife's house. The agreement was that he will not proceed with the lobola negotiations until we have moved into the new house. Rofhiwa was extremely upset about the new house. I guess she believed that the house was an attachment to her mother. But I told both her and Thomas that I'm...
2010MabokoTonight is my matric dance. After months of waiting and preparing, the day is finally here. The dance is on a Saturday because our teachers don't want us to miss out on a school day. Our teachers are as crazy as Tebza's mother. Tebza had to lie to her and say that she's visiting a friend. Gwen is the friend. She told the mother that she would be away for the weekend. She bought the story partly because she's not...
I am sitting in my office and contemplating whether I should reach out to Tebza or not when I get a phone call from my mother's neighbour. "Dumela Aus’Mavis""Regodise! There are soldiers in your mother's house and they are dragging your mother out of the house." I sprint out of my office and run upstairs to Queen Kea's office while I get Ona on the line."Baby!" "Ona, fetch Mohale from crèche right now. We need to leave Tholoana Kingdom". "What?!" "Get Mohale now!" I burst into queen...
