@FormerGrillz It eases his guilt to give Hlathi the contract

Why would Sydney be stressed about Hlathi terminating their cleaning contract when he doesn’t need him. Sydney is the boss here, not the other way around. The producers are annoying me. #Inimba

@iamchumisa Zoleka also babies Qhawe.

The way Nomfundiso infantilises la nkwenkwe is just so typical boy mom behaviour 🤮🥴🫠. That parasite’s downfall will be absolute cinema, I can’t wait 😭🙏🏾. #InimbaMzansi #INIMBA

@nonz_nonie Give Art of Sarah a chance hle

As soon as the lips don't match the words on Netflix, I turn it off expeditiously. 😫

A hard lesson from administering my late mother's estate: read the fine print on life rights before your parents sign one. For those unfamiliar: a life right is a popular retirement-village model in South Africa. You don't buy the property. You pay a large lump sum (often R2m+) for the right to occupy a unit for the rest of your life. The operator retains ownership and the title. When the holder dies, here is what nobody really explains up front. 1. The operator takes a fixed chunk regardless of how long you lived there. Typical contracts deduct around 40 percent of a notional "Listing Consideration" as the operator's effective fee, amortised over five years. If your loved one lives in the unit for two years, three years, or even just under five, that 40 percent disappears anyway. My mother paid R2 million in 2021. Five years later, the estate stands to receive less than half of it back. 2. The estate keeps paying levies after death. Indefinitely. The contract terminates automatically when the holder dies. But you, as the estate, remain liable for the full monthly levy, rates, and consumption charges until the operator finds a new buyer. There is no deadline. No reasonable-time obligation written in. We are six weeks past hand-over and the invoices keep arriving. 3. The estate cannot use, let, or even allow family to enter the unit. The right to occupy was "personal in nature." It died with the holder. The estate cannot put a tenant in, cannot let it on Airbnb, cannot even allow family to stay there without the operator's written consent. Every mitigation lever sits with the operator at their sole discretion. 4. The operator has zero incentive to re-sell quickly. They hold your capital interest-free until a buyer is found. They earn the levy every month you wait. They earn a remarketing fee on re-sale. The longer they take, the better for them. The worse for you. 5. The contract usually contains a CPA exemption-by-design. Most of these schemes acknowledge the Consumer Protection Act on paper, then carve themselves into clauses that allow exactly the kind of one-sided continuation of obligations the CPA was meant to police. Sections 48 and 52 of the CPA, and the Constitutional Court line on fairness in contract (Barkhuizen, Beadica), give real grounds to push back. But you have to know to push. If you or a family member is considering a life right, please: - Read the full agreement including every annexure, not just the marketing brochure. - Model the worst case: holder dies within 3 to 5 years of taking occupation. - Calculate the estate's expected net return, including post-death levy bleed if re-sale takes 6 to 12 months. - Get independent legal advice before signing. Not advice from the village's referred attorneys. - Ask explicitly: what is the operator's contractual obligation to re-sell within a reasonable time? If the answer is "none," walk away. There are genuinely good retirement villages and well-structured life rights out there. But the structural risk to the estate is rarely disclosed up front. If you've been through this and want to compare notes, please reach out.

@JackiePhamotse I will definitely be watching this show!

Lebo M has a new wife. I couldn’t help but look at her reactions. Goodness gracious, without attacking him, who do they see in him honestly?

One thing I’m starting to notice about South African startups : The companies that survive usually aren’t trying to build the future of all at once, but they pick one painful workflow and become extremely good at it. Welo Health is a good example of that 🧵...

@stan_fi Some women opt to have the kids with the same genes and exit. In the moment it feels more "certain" than hoping for a healthier rlxnshp later. It's a personal decision and not an easy one.

@phozi88 Hmm no, that wasn't wise at all. She could've given her child a sibling in a healthier set up, later on in life.

Ayy nna Londie ka mo judge'a, he wasn't there for the first pregnancy and you still had a second? 😔 #LifeWithLondieLondon

@_ayanda_sengane I don't think we are supposed to be the same. But in terms of you body outside not matching with who you remember yourself as, that takes a while because your back complains if you gym

Women don't talk enough about how hard it is to return to yourself after giving birth...

@Khanyi_Magubane @Boldly_Owamie warned us about this a while back. So sorry to those affected.

As someone who has written for television and had to write sex scenes too, I totally believe Nirvana. The increase in the demand for "hard sex" scenes on the writers and actors, particularly in the past few years, was bound to get dangerous for female actors eventually. She alerted the show execs and was threatened with a finished career if she speaks out, by another female. We surely need a Madlanga Commission for the Film and TV industry. The rot is deep.

This happened to alot of us, at the hands of black doctors.

@lngcwabe @Julia_Maite @Eskom_SA Before at least even if I held on the line I'd speak to a person. But now with the Bots, it's just not working

@Julia_Maite @Eskom_SA I’m sorry Julia. I have observed the quality of customer service at Eskom has deteriorated. We have been experiencing something nowhere near the scale of your outage but the resolution time and customer engagement was bad

Hey @Eskom_SA Can I come and sleep at your Megawatt Park offices with my family this long weekend? We haven’t had electricity at my house for the last 10 months, 46 houses affected. Been calling you guys with no help. Can we come tu, this weekend is looking cold AF!

@Julia_Maite @Eskom_SA I've been waiting 2 weeks. Sometimes their phone line doesn't go through. I don't know anymore

Is @TAKEALOT payments system down?

I made this short film as a love letter to child-headed households & latchkey kids. This technique is called paint-on-glass stop-motion animation, rarely used in recent times. Please watch the whole filmed here youtu.be/Qz2oPiURBdI?fe… and share with someone who can relate 🖤

Pinelands Ratepayers and Residents Association (PRRA) and the Pinelands Community Policing Forum (CPF) have actively objected to liquor license applications, arguing that selling alcohol is against the peaceful, family-oriented character of the neighborhood. Pinelands is it's own city.

Patriots let’s use this hashtag #BringMazwiBack to make a statement.

@PolokoMokhele_ Where is her husband, why a tebeloa a le mong

20-year-old Reatile Nthako, whose sexual content from #Stripchat was leaked, has reportedly been banned by another village in less than two months. Nthako’s videos circulated widely in recent weeks, showing her producing explicit content with her husband. The incident ignited conversations around the strong taboo surrounding adult content creation in #Lesotho.
