THE BEST MOTHER SOUTH OF SAHARA



Dear Mum, 
You mean the world to me. If I were to decide on the mother’s day, I would choose on today and all days that end with ‘Y’. Mum, not even these words from a poem in the early 1900s fully define who you are in my life.
Many things she gave me
Only that she grows old
Tears she shed to save me
Heart of purest gold
Eyes with love shinning
Right she will always be
 
Usually, it is said that mothers are a blessing but for me, the blessings have always come in twos. You are a testimony that indeed God created families and gave mothers a special place in the unit. You woke up the earliest and went to bed the latest. Despite the busy days you had, you always found time for your two sons. You have been a mother and more of a friend. You have been the strongest pillar that has propped my life. I know I’ve been stubborn but you never gave up on me. I disappointed you on several occasions but you still smiled and called me your lovely son. Mummy, you deserve a lifetime award; and that will only be love and love. You have been a teacher, friend and most of all a mentor. Your industrious culture is the trend I have loved to follow. All that I am and what I desire to be come from the passion, the love, the humor and dedication that I’ve experienced. Your all time humor always gave us a reason to smile all the time we were in your company. Daily phone calls to me all filled with “baba unaendeleaje? Umekula...?” made the long geographical distance between us seem short. Sundays would never pass without you asking “ulienda kanisani?” These words pulled me closer to the church especially when I recall those days you guided me through catechism and daily prayers.
You were the first teacher in my life. You began by teaching me how to walk on my twos. Latter, you guided me through my homework and made mathematics one of my best subjects. You even encouraged me to become an accountant like you! Don't worry mum,i got Ednam Ventures.However you also believed in the famous saying,spare the rod, spoil the child. That was not in vein as it instilled discipline in me that has helped me coupe with the tough and dynamic world. I will always embrace what you taught me; have fun, laugh, enjoy life, dream big and show compassion for everyone you love.
Heavenly sent mum, you gave me life but today, I give you love… love…love…
Your loving son,
Job

Diary of a Side Chick - Makhwapheni Episode 5

You know there are things that you tell yourself you will never ever do. I never thought I'll ever let a lesbian see my punami. Now I believe when they say 'never say never'. I didn't even know how lesbians do it. My cousin told me they use toys. I always wondered why a girl would dump the real thing and opt for a toy. With all that has been happening to me lately, I wouldn't blame myself for doing what JT made me do. She made me stretch my legs a bit so she could have a full access to my nanana. She squeezed my butt with her hands and said 'ntwana, ezi ya gago e causa havoc" (Babe, you have a fine ass). Lol that almost cracked me, I guess it was her way of talking dirty. She was practically on her knees while her head was between my thighs like a piglet on her mom's breast. Her tongue was long and a bit thick so when she softly attacked my clitoris with it, I felt like a little kid after receiving a new toy from her father. I've been

Diary of a Side Chick - Makhwapheni Episode 1

Episode 1 My phone rang and when I noticed it was Sipho I picked it up so fast. He told me he just found that his wife of 7 years has been sleeping with her colleague for the past three months OMG!! What worries him more was she was pregnant and he wasn't sure if he's the father. I listened attentively as Sipho told me his problems. At some stage I thought he was gonna cry. I have known Sipho for quite some time. He was 10 years older than me but we became very good friends when I moved to Pretoria 2 years ago. We come from the same hood in Ga-Kgapane, Tzaneen in Limpopo. He was friends with my uncle when I was still a kid. He used to give me money and buy me presents because 'I was a cute and clever kid'. Whenever he was home he would pick me up at school...and my friends would be so jealous. My uncle always warned me that when my boobs grow he will never allow him 10 metres near me, Little he knew was I had a 'baby crush' on him. It happens to

Diary of a Side Chick - Makhwapheni Episode 2

I normally hate the F- word but at that moment it was the only word I could think of. I was panicking because I didn't know who was at the door trying to unlock. I mean, my roomie was in NW and she's the only person who has a key to our room. Men will only be dogs when coming to sex. Instead of getting off me he whispered "I won't be long. It will take only 10 seconds". Shit I was so annoyed at him at that moment. No wonder his Xhosa wife cheated on him. What kinda man comes within 10 seconds? I pushed him so hard he almost fell. Everything happened within seconds. I looked at the door and noticed my key was still in the keyhole, therefore the person trying to unlock won't succeed. I gave a sigh of relief. No one wants to be ambushed naked in the bedroom with a man, especially if that man is someone's husband. I asked who's at the door and Kea answered "Ke nna. Kopa o bule Shaz". WTF is Kea doing in Pretoria? She's supposed
