I think Nando’s should reconsider their prices. You can’t spend almost R400 on just one full chicken and wedges, while their competitors offer two full chickens for only R300.

It's now more expensive to be a boyfriend than a parent.

Divorce rates are high in this generation for one simple reason. People don't understand what marriage actually is. Social media made everyone believe there's always someone better out there, a richer man, a prettier woman, a more exciting life, but comparison kills loyalty. People want weddings, not marriages. They'll spend months planning a ceremony and zero time learning how to communicate when things get hard. Nobody knows how to argue anymore. They yell, they shut down, they run instead of learning how to fight for each other. Money pressure exposes weak foundations. Instead of building together, couples turn on each other, men stop leading, women stop respecting their men, temptation is everywhere. Now everyone uses therapy words to escape accountability. Everything is toxic, everything is trauma. Nothing is ever their fault. There's no community pressure to stay married anymore. No elders saying work it out. Just friends saying leave. You deserve better. Kids became optional, sacrifice became outdated and vows became suggestions. Marriage used to mean I'll suffer with you. Now it means I'll stay as long as I'm happy. And that's why divorce is high. Because people don't know how to suffer together. They only know how to quit when excitement is no longer there. We are in the trenches!!

Did you know ? Cape Town is 1 hr behind from the rest of the Country’s Time Zone ? But for the sake of uniformity, Government of that time decided Cape Town will use the same time zone as the rest of the Country.

A woman was very unhappy in her marriage, so she went to a lawyer and told him she wanted a divorce. The lawyer, an old and wise man, replied: "It's good that you want to separate, but first make him suffer for five months.".....

You need a teammate in this economy, not a leech.

Fikile Mbalula saying Terror Lekota left the ANC because he felt the party had deviated from its values 👀 At a funeral. In 2026. With Mbalula as Secretary General. The irony that requires no decoration. The man who wrote the letter stopping bread distribution to hungry people is eulogising the man who left the ANC because it stopped feeding its values. Terror Lekota didn't serve divorce papers lightly. He was Robben Island. He was the UDF. He was decades of sacrifice inside the movement before he concluded the movement had left him not the other way around. Mbalula acknowledging that today at the funeral is either genuine reflection or the most expensive eulogy the ANC has delivered in years. Because if Lekota was right when he left and Mbalula is standing there saying he was then the party that drove him out owes more than a funeral speech. It owes the answer to the question Terror Lekota asked in 2008 and nobody has fully answered yet: When did the ANC stop being the ANC? And more importantly has it started again? 😔💙

Mastering Detachment without confrontation & drama is pure skill.

Mhh, a Sad reality 😭😭

Giving your partner alone time and space would solve so many issues. You all are so obsessed with this culture of being under somebody 24/7, suffocation makes things expire at a faster rate. Relax and just be by yourself and its okay to maintain your individuality.

As for enemy 😭😂🤣🤣🤣

The children are guests who will eventually pack their bags and go to their own houses. If you spend 20 years ignoring the host to entertain the guests, you will find yourself sitting in a very quiet, very lonely house once the guests leave. Do not sacrifice the "Lifetime Partner" for the "Short-Term Residents".

Learn to be okay with people not knowing your side of the story. Trust me you have nothing to prove when your morals are in order.

The dating pool is full of people who bypassed their discernment and used up their goodness, kindness, generosity & patience on the wrong people and are now making everyone pay by offering a boring, unhealed, self-hating and emotionally-stunted version of themselves.

Some of us have saved someone’s reputation by not telling our side of the story.

Many Black South African parents raise their kids to speak English as their only language, maybe with some Afrikaans thrown in, because this is how they feel they can improve the kids’ future career prospects. The reasoning is often along the lines of “what will speaking our native language help with?” This often results in the kids being unable to fit in with their extended families who generally do not use English as a medium of communication. So, even though the rest of the family and community may speak and hear English, language goes beyond exchanging sentences and pleasantries, it’s a whole culture and way of seeing the world. And if a parent cannot leave a child alone with family in the township or in the rural areas, then it’s a matter of time before the child becomes detached from that group, a group which is fundamentally the his roots. S/he essentially becomes a tourist in her own lineage. From a more cynical perspective, one could say the parents are forced by the system to raise their child to become a high-functioning unit for a corporate machine, at the expense of cultural continuity. Of course, we cannot disregard the fact that this choice is a trauma response to a history, and even a current culture that penalises native tongues. Because of this, the parents see English as a shield. In their minds English equals mobility, escape from poverty, and maybe most importantly, a lack of accent-based prejudice. Meanwhile, the mother tongue and its ancestral connection unfortunately have limited horizons, in a strictly capitalist sense. The tragedy is that parents often don’t realise that this isn’t a zero-sum game. Research consistently shows that additive bilingualism, that is, learning an additional language is not only possible, but actually improves cognitive flexibility and academic performance. But the narrow view is how you arrive at a quarter life crisis, where a young admits find it out that they are too Black for the corporate spaces they were raised for, due to structural racism, but too White linguistically and culturally for the community they belong to by blood. You then end up with a generation of lost people unable to fully enter the house of their ancestors, or the house of their employers.

I think I lost my spark. I don’t talk as much, I keep to myself, and I’ve mastered the art of distance. It’s not that I’m mad or bitter. I just don’t have the energy to show up the way I used to. Somewhere along the way, I slipped into this nonchalant phase.
