At the beginning of the year my friend said she wanted to buy a car in June. It never happened. I bought mine in July without making a big deal about it. Now she’s cut me off, claiming I stole her idea. I was literally moving in silence 😭
If I had watched my mother get beaten, forced to miss rehearsals, made to act next to her abuser, we had to rebuild our lives from nothing & then she wins an award? I would roll on the floor. The shaking wouldn’t have been enough.
My pregnant neighbor knocked on my door at 6:30 this morning…
Not to ask for money. Not to ask for food.
She just asked if she could sit for a minute because she “didn’t want to cry where her husband could see.”
She’s 7 months pregnant.
Her husband recently lost his job. Rent is overdue. Hospital bills are already piling up before the baby is even born.
While she was sitting there, she kept rubbing her belly and smiling.
I asked her how she’s still able to smile through all this.
She said something I don’t think I’ll ever forget:
[WATCH] KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Police Commissioner Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi on the arrest of the businessman Vusimuzi Matlala and the alleged relationship with the Police Minister Senzo Mchunu.
