I’d hate to be associated with someone who treats their community in this manner. Not only do you lack principle, but you’re incredibly inconsiderate. You guys want to disregard your friends bc of a relationship and the minute it ends, you’re crawling back to them because you failed to prioritize your interpersonal relationships accordingly. There’s a time for your friends and there’s a time for your partner.
i hate how social media makes people forget that life has stages. it's normal to be broke, to have broke friends or partners and yes it's even normal to be unemployed at times. these are phases we all go through.
some people are lucky enough to find good jobs at a young age and afford a certain lifestyle. others take longer and that's perfectly okay. we need to stop comparing ourselves and start accepting our journey. i just want all of us to be at peace with where we are in life while still working and striving for better.

Hear me out...
I personally believe that Umkhokha was the best original concept we've had since Yizo Yizo.
An original story that was true to the South African experience and didn't rely on clichés.
With that, there is a caveat, of course. I believe that the show should have remained in its series format with limited season run instead of being turned into a telenovela.
Our local productions do well with the series format when it comes to ideas because with the telenovela format, they start writing for social media and stretching stories to fill space instead of being true to the story and character development.
Sadly, entertaining as it were in its telenovela form, it did fall into redundant tropes.
That said, the core story and original IP mode still held for a while.
The performances were on point and challenged the actors. Sadly, Mamzobe became a caricature at some point, But when it was good Deli Malinga murdered the role.
Sibonile as Difa gave some of the best scenes and performances that an actors coach would be proud of. That man ACTED! A true performer.
The daughters, Nobuntu & Gabi as well as Mabusi, and actresses who played them, gave me Clare Boothe Luce's The Women characters ... And they delivered.
BUT, at its core, especially when it was a series before it was a telenovela, everyone involved ... Showed up!
It is unfortunate that the people with the decision power failed to see and appreciate the magic, and they or he/she prioritised coins over creative brilliance.
As a series, Umkhokha could have gone on for multiple seasons.
You know... when writers are not under pressure to create 250 episodes to feed the telenovela format, but can just write authentic story and plots that make sense.
The show would have gone to be iconic and a reference point for future generations.
IN MY OPINION.
One thing adulthood has taught me is that I am not above anything. Homelessness, death, no job, literally anything can happen. Hence, I must never be too quick to speak over situations I’ve never found myself in. No one is above anything, not even your good actions can save you from your fair share of trials.
Life is crazy. Tables turn. Always stay humble & be grateful. ✌
I get tired of men just lusting over me and not actually being loved or courted properly! The same cycle keeps repeating I’m checked out. I have no desire to date. I don’t want any dealings with men at all.
Slow burn please. Because i want someone who falls in love with the little things that they only discover when they really get to know me and still choose me after showing my different personalities including the not too perfect ones.
I want a love that is gentle, genuine, and built step by step, where the emotional connection comes before physical attraction. And I want this to happen gradually.
I don't know if it's just me, but if things are rushed at first sight, I lose interest with the speed of light. I prefer things to grow gradually and naturally over time.
Slow burn>>>>>>>>
La kuSocial media nonke nithenga imizi cash, no rentals. Futhi nonke ninamadoda anemali, aniyazi nje nhlobo ifemale bread winner. Your credit scores are all on 700, no debts. Futhi you guys move on immediately after a break up, ni-mature nje, no crash outs. Y’all love amaEx enu futhi niwafisela konke okuhle. Oh, futhi ninamaSavings nina. Very financially stable, uLive Better uno5k. Nonke nje futhi namitha nijova. UDepo wakho una5 years, ngoba you were using a condom too, both the condom and contraceptives didn’t work. Haibo, futhi nje kunina imoto ye-instalment is not an achievement.
Weeh my goodness msangano. Drop the act
If you’re not a feminist, this is not your post; you can scroll past it.
Hi girl, you might already know this, but I just wanted to remind you:
Stay away from male centered women. Not only can they put you in danger, they might even kill you for an ounce of male validation. 🙏🏽
We heard Nandi loud and clear. Her point was that Black men deserve grace because the system crushes them hardest: no money, no government support, 400 years of stacked odds, and constant pressure to succeed.
Our point is this: that same system hits Black women just as hard, often harder. Patriarchy. Single motherhood. Unpaid care work. Higher poverty rates. Sky high GBV risks but when women survive those exact conditions through informal hustles or sex work just to feed their families, they are shamed. Insulted. Called slurs. Told they have no dignity.
So men deserve grace for trying, but women are humiliated for trying to survive? You cannot demand grace from women while denying it to them in the same breath. That is selective empathy.
Grace is not a one way demand from women to men. It has to be mutual. Otherwise it is just another burden placed on the group that is already carrying the most.
I like to learn from other people’s mistakes and experiences.
Joys of motherhood is a myth, a mirage used to rope women into sacrificing their body and the rest of their life into thankless servitude.
Please be kind to new colleagues who recently started working, they’re not antisocial, they dont have money for after work drinks, & their 1st salary is for buying decent clothes for work and transport until next pay day🙏🏾
