I have a five-month-old daughter. Her name is Ruri. She's so beautiful. She is the beautiful combination of Maboko and me. She is the ray of sunshine that we've been longing for in our lives. Maboko is so in love. Sometimes, I'm a little jealous of their relationship. Sometimes, I feel replaced in Maboko's and Bane's lives. It feels weird to not be the only woman in their lives anymore. But I'm happy. My family is in a good place...
…ONE YEAR LATER…My son, Banathi, is ten months old. He is the spitting image of his father and my husband is the happiest I have ever seen him. He loves being a family man and that is very special to me. With Banathi in our lives, I see different sides to him that make me fall in love with him more. My mother gave my son a second name - Mohau. He is an absolute favourite everywhere he goes. My mom...
Khanyisa is at that stage where she refuses to sleep in her cot and wants to sleep with me in bed. Now I have this cot in here for nothing. I also ended up buying a stand alone bathtub for her in my outside room because she's still too small for a shower.I hear chatter outside and I'm instantly annoyed because I know someone is going to knock on my door and think we are friends. "Is Fikile still sleeping? It's...
2010Teboho:"Ma'am, I'm here to collect work for Gwen Seete." I say as I enter the last classroom that Gwen would have attended today. This has been me all day, going to Gwen's educators and collecting work for her until her home-schooling program is finalized. It doesn’t really affect me because I do this during my school breaks and after school. The teachers have not been nasty, shame. If anything, they've been extremely cooperative and going beyond the call of duty. Some...
I am extremely exhausted, but there is something comforting about being safe and hiding from the world. We need to get morena in front of a camera and make sure that he addresses his people. Zithulele is slowly but surely slipping into a depression without Letlali by his side, so we really need to hurry this up. Uncle Q is the one who is keeping us updated with what is happening every thirty minutes. We know that Linda and Kabelo...
With everything that's going on in Tholoana Kingdom right now, we've had to leave the Kingdom. Maboko has a few houses in various countries. He took Khabane, myself, his father, Aus' Lebo and Gwen to his house in South Africa, in a place called Nelspruit. Part of the reason is because he has some of his offices here. He has two of his bottle stores in Tholoana Kingdom that were looted and burned down. Thank God for insurance because that...
Zithulele is something else. How could he just hang up on me like that after swearing at me and frightening me all at the same time? What's wrong with this guy?! I've already changed into a tracksuit and sneakers. I've already spilled the money into my laptop bag and my handbag. I know that I'm not allowed in his study, but this is a desperate situation. I don't know what's going on, but whatever it is, I don't want my man...
Today is my first day at work. I am very excited about it. Zithulele gave me some money to buy work outfits. I bought some very nice suits, shoes, handbags and wigs. I have never owned a wig before I met Zithulele, so when I saw that a really nice one is a minimum of R2000, I was quite traumatized. But hubby let me splurge and I got myself five beautiful wigs. I think he was in a good mood...
"Fikile!" I hear a male voice shout from outside my door. It sounds like Sibongiseni. I open my one eye to check the time. It's 6am. Oh ja... he is going to pay damages for Khanyisa today. I just don't understand why I'm being woken up. I gave him R20 000 and my car keys last night so that he wouldn't bother me this morning. He even had the audacity to tell me that he's paying nothing more than R5000 for damages. "Fikile!" "Sibongiseni, kwenze...
2010It's finally after school. It's been a long day and I'm extremely exhausted. This week was test week and test week is just painful. You write a minimum of two pre-exam papers per subject from Monday to Friday. If you do not perform well during test week, your parents are called in and are informed that you are in danger of failing. No one wants that kind of pressure going into the exams. I just finished writing my chemistry paper...
