@unfilteredKing@FariSnoe I'm so worried about this, because why was his mom throwing a fit when Zweli mentioned that his ancestors are looking for him...
Yoooooh😫

You cannot:
Work full time, raise children, keep a spotless home, show up fully in your marriage, maintain friendships, stay fit, build wealth, read books, pursue hobbies, serve only home cooked meals, answer every email, and still make the 3:30 school pickup.
That standard was created to keep you exhausted and blaming yourself. Let it go.
There is clearly a growing tendency towards hyper-individualism. People want the comfort of a support system, but often avoid the time, vulnerability, and effort needed to build and sustain it, the conversations around this have been shocking to witness.
Grief can bring a flood of emotions, some expected, some surprising. From sadness and anger to guilt, numbness, or longing, every feeling is part of the grieving journey. There is no “right” way to grieve, and no timeline you need to follow. Be gentle with yourself and remember:
I’m an eldest daughter which means I’m automatically irritated by your incompetence because I was never given room or grace to be imcompetent. I won’t be elaborating. The daughters who know get it.
RIP:
Cynthia Shange

Nobody talks about the stage of grief where you can't even talk about it to anyone anymore because everyone expects you to be getting over it but it still runs through your mind everyday.
Infidelity is such an interesting concept, you’re cheating on someone you chose to be with…like no one forced you to be with this person…it was a conscious decision you made to be with this person and now you’re cheating on them.
My mom (56) lost her mom (88) 3 months ago. On the day of the funeral, she sat by the gate for hours. People slowly started leaving, but she stayed there. Alone. At some point it began to drizzle,& she didn’t move. No panic. No rush. Just sitting there, by herself. I ran to take her phones & asked why she was sitting in the rain. She said, “Mohlomongwe pula e tla hlatswa bohloko ba go loba bomma.”
It was at that moment I understood that no matter how old you are, nothing prepares you for losing a parent.
I just read a comment that said “Because when a woman gives birth, she walks to deaths door and comes back carrying life." The power in this statement.
MultiChoice confirms with deep sadness the passing of our colleague, David Sejobe, a valued member of the MultiChoice team who served as a front house security officer at our Randburg head office.
David joined MultiChoice in 2015 and, over the past decade, became a familiar and cherished presence to employees, visitors and members of the public. He was widely known for his professionalism, warmth and positive spirit, and for the genuine care with which he greeted and assisted everyone who came through our doors.
For many, David’s friendly greetings and daily interactions along Bram Fischer Drive became a welcome and uplifting part of the day. He represented the values of respect, kindness and human connection, and his contribution extended well beyond his formal role.
David was also widely admired for his personal resilience and commitment to healthy living. He cycled to work everyday and was an avid long-distance cyclist who used sport to manage his health and inspire others. He drew public attention for undertaking a long-distance charity ride from Johannesburg to Venda in honour of his late father, and he participated in several major cycling events. His story motivated many people and reflected his determination, discipline and love of life.
David will be remembered for his optimism, generosity of spirit and the lasting impression he made on colleagues, guests and the broader community.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to David’s family, friends and fellow colleagues during this difficult time. Information regarding memorial arrangements will be shared once confirmed and in accordance with the family’s wishes.
MultiChoice honours David’s memory and the light he brought to our workplace and community.
#RIPDavidSejobe
