Toxic couples no longer amaze me.
We have this other family in my community that was very toxic. Their anger issues were like those of celebrities when they see Musa Khawula.
You would wake up at 1am hear one shouting, “Bulala lenja mama nawu umese”. That time kulwa umama wakhona noBaba wakhona, in the morning you would see them both walking to church as if they on my perfect family.
This one time umjita wakhona was using isagila to beat up his sisters. Then some guy was driving by, but ke he was one of those X/Twitter woke gents, he said, “GBV infront of me? Never”. Stepped out of the car wangena kulomuzi and started beating the boy, hawu! Suddenly the sisters got angry, “Haibo! ubetha umntwana ka Mma kanje?!”. They decided to beat thay guy up as a family, waphuma ne Axe umama wakhona and threw it kumjita, he had to runaway.
Few months later, their granny died in way that no one understood. They claimed she was bewitched by someone in the community, after the funeral when they got back from the cemetery the family decided to close the gate, and every community member who attended got a beating. Abefundisi with their big stomachs baphuma bedumbe ngathi balunywe yizinyosi. The family kept saying, “Nidle uGogo, manje nizodla nokudla kwethu!” kukhale impama.
The community decided that the family must pack its stuff and leave. The family yathi that's not a problem, but for them to leave they want all the families to come for a fight 1 by 1 and the winner will take their house. The house was beautiful and the family was rich but rich kakhul kwi Anger.
The community agreed, Ehy! Le family yabetha kwasani no family won against them. The community members decided that they will just call the chief, that family replied and said the chief must also come with his family and if they win yibo abazophatha iCommunity. The chief saw that there's no way his family will win, yabaleka.
The family stayed for 3 years one day we saw them moving out, when the driver who was moving their stuff got back we asked him ukuthi where were they relocating to? Wathi he doesn't remember anything they took him off the truck along the way bamshaya. He woke up esbhedlela.😭
