Guys… sorry for this very unsolicited advice but having recently lost my mom and now having to consolidate all of her affairs, (lucky for me, sis was quite organised but there are still some gaps we’re filling because we didn’t know), I have some tips for those who have a chance to try to get organised.

If your parents are still alive, here’s what you can TRY to do (cos I know some of them are very untrusting about stuff and will think you’re trying to come for ilefa prematurely 🥺🫣) but honestly, the peace I’m yearning for right now will be worth the effort I’m advising you to employ.

1. Prepare a file that has the following:
- Parents’ ID copies
- Parents’ Marriage Certificate (even the one from the lobola meeting)
- Parents’ Divorce Decree if divorced
- All title deeds reflecting their names and car ownership papers
- Municipal bills for the properties and logins to the e-portals for the municipal accounts (this is one of the most stressful things to sort out when the owner is no longer alive…YOH!)
- Bank statements (you can locate debit orders)
- Their pension fund administrators details
- Any business registration certificates and shareholders certificates
- Copies of all their latest policy schedules
- If your parents trust you and you won’t scam them, A list of their logins to their email addresses
- A list of their financial advisors and lawyers and doctors and their contact details
- A list of their creditors and contact details
- A list of their debtors and contact details
- An asset registry with a list of all their assets
- A list of their monthly bills (Dstv, telkom etc and the statements)

2. If this is at all possible, it will save a lot of headache
- Have a meeting with your parents and your siblings to allocate roles and responsibilities in the event of death and record it (written usually or visually if they’re okay with that)
- Write down what their wishes are for their send offs (where do they want to be buried, do they want cremation, singing on singing, which church must conduct etc etc and where the money for all this is coming from). Yea, they won’t be here to dictate to you (🫩) but, it will save you a lot of stress just doing what umufi asked for and everyone (especially the aunts and uncles) know it to be true

3. When your parent does pass away, have the following in the “deceased file”
- Death certificate (and certified copies)
- Hospital or Coroners report or notice of death
- Updated ID with stamp saying Deceased
- Burial notice
- Undertaker Notice

Lastly… get your parents to draft a will with a lawyer and nominate an executor whilst they are still alive 😭🥺😮‍💨 if you can invest in this, it will ease the administrative burden on you guys who have to take over when they are no longer alive.

Losing a parent you are close to is one of the most painful things you’ll ever experience in your existence… help yourself by not having to be in pain and highly frustrated because things weren’t organised when you had the chance.

* I know this is a very difficult subject to tackle at home…and it’s even more difficult to accept the reality of death… but if you do have the privilege of a good relationship with your parents, just try. For everyone else who doesn’t get to do this, I’m really sorry 🫂 I wish things could be better for you ❤️‍🩹

I hope this helps many people.

when i was a kid i used to think when rappers did features that meant they were in the studio together i was so flabbergasted when i found out they just send versus thru email

One of the best videos.
The exhausted mother bottle-feeds her friend instead of her son, and the two of them can't stand each other. 😂

“Open up the schools” from an American is the funniest thing I’ve ever read 😭😭

Nothing has fallen from grace like R1000.

R1000 was once respected so much that it was nicknamed a grand. Today it can’t even fill up a 60 litre tank. 😔

We don’t have the capacity to treat or support recovering drug addicts in this country.

We’ve watched Mr Moloto’s clips on Tik Tok - the patients are taken mostly from jhb to Limpopo, about 400kms away.

Also the patient isn’t given a choice about whether they want to go.

[lerato @tshepanglerato]

Addiction can be beaten -with the right support and the will.

If one succumbs to addiction - we must not judge.

Addiction (alcohol, drugs, gambling) knows no colour or social class.

Hopefully we are now waking up to the wolf on our doorstep.

A go gagamadiwe katholo kana melao ya go rekisa ditagi. Do you know how many youths are subjected to drugs? And the drug Lords are just there living lavish lives without even thinking about the consequences of their businesses. A sengwe se dirwe. Eseng jalo we won't go anywhere

This Ghanaian guy's story is one of the funniest rabbitholes I've sunk in on IG, this year. 😂

I may not narrate it well but the gist is - he's one of those people that have fancy names for the type of depression that they're suffering.

So, he decided that he wants "assisted death".

He'll decide the day and time, and upon approval he'll get medically assisted death - as per, he's tired of life.

He moves to the Netherlands where the laws allow for it and decides to share how journey on IG until he gets an approved date for his death.

So, he started this "movement" called "last supper" where his sympathetic followers get to lobby to host him for lunches and dinners, as per him go soon die. 😂

They'll cover all the costs including his travels and food. He's been hosted all across Europe. He has dinner rules, what they can wear, what experiences people get to share. 😂 you know, giving cult.

All these wonronwonron took more than a year o - long story short, my guy has refused to die. 😂😂😂

Like 3 dates he said they gave him, has come and passed - he still never go die. 😂😂

He eventually switched the entire thing to a deflection that he was sharing a friend's story. 😂😂😂

His guests that have been hosting him since last year have now started calling him out. He will collect transport money and not show up. 😂

Scammers get levels abeg.

The other day, men were insulting a 30 year old woman who had just become a single mother. Today they are angry at a woman who has no children. It’s almost like they just hate women regardless of the circumstances.
