We are all here in Maja Perre where Morafe's mother's house used to be. It's literally in ashes. Literally. We all arrived two days ago when Morafe told us what happened. We are all living at the lodge that we stayed at when we came for her wedding. Our kids are at home with nannies because it's school. I just brought Sihle with me because she can afford to miss creche. She’s forever on my back. I don’t even...
Today, I'm having lunch with my sister wives. They invited me to lunch because we apparently need to talk. Thabang has seriously axed them. I thought that he would've calmed down by now, but he's even shocking me at how unforgiving he is about this situation. I was more shocked when the sister wives phoned me, telling me that they'd like us to meet up and chat. Imagine. I just don't want trouble. I really don't. So I hope...
This week, Michael and Samuel (Keith's brothers) are coming to visit us. Coming to our place is a road trip, so hey... they are coming with their wives and children. Michael's girlfriend - whom I haven't yet met - gave birth to a baby girl four months ago. So now, the two of them are coming with their son and daughter - both who have driven Masingita up the wall of all walls. Samuel is coming with his wife...
Today is my mother’s wedding. She and bab’Khotso are doing a wedding that is basically “Zulu meets Sotho.” I asked if they’d have a white wedding. Bab’Khotso said he’s not white. I said, “Hawu baba… just for the vibes.” He laughed and said, “I’m marrying the love of my life… there is nothing that is for the vibes about that. And I’m not going to practice things that I don’t understand while committing to her. I mean, I don’t even...
I’m at home this weekend. This is the weekend that the Mohales will be paying my lobola for me. Now that my dad is well again, stronger and able to see this through, we can finally do this. Wandisa can pretty much give birth any time. She won’t be coming this side for the Gauteng celebrations because she can no longer travel, but she will be present for the celebrations that will be happening at the royal house. Rena...
I just got into my office this morning. I’m still living in a hotel. I miss my husband… a lot. I’m actually ready to just go back to him and have him love me again. I set up my office so that I could get the day started. I miss those kids everyday… and I’m beginning to accept that they are never coming back. I must just phone their schools and have their admissions terminated. There’s a knock on my door. I...
Yoh, the work here at Keith’s office! It’s a lot! And with him still scouting a PA, I’m also that too. We had to phone mzala to come stay with us for a while so she could help us with Risuna. My mom said she’d come up, but she still has work. Mzala needs the money. Now my mom lives with Mzala’s kids while mzala is here helping us with Risuna. We work longer hours and the board meeting...
My family and I have just come back from the Maldives. We actually had so much fun there. It was a good break for Meme and a well-needed holiday for Thabang. We actually saw him laugh and let loose again. Now we are all back in the kingdom and we are legitimately looking forward to some rest before kids go back to school and I go back to work. “Guys, all bags in the laundry please. Sisi will help us...
My mom and my step-father bought us a house. I’m so excited it’s not even funny. Senzi is equally excited! We are living with Akwande for a while. Mam’Fifi is flying in and out of the kingdom everyday to help the queen set up a new school. Seeing that everyone is away and busy on this project, we asked Ntuthuko and Tamia to help us move in. The movers are helping us move the furniture in. We have helpers packing...
My dad just had his surgery. We flew him and Mam’Celia to Tholoana Kingdom and he had the surgery here. They are staying with us, much to Rena’s and Moloko’s excitement. I’m not sure if they are enjoying having grandparents or if Mam’Celia is humouring them as hard as she humours us. Khotso insists that Celia is a walking comedy show. I think I understand her nyana… she reminds me of someone I was locked up with. She gives me...
