I was recently asked why I didn't date black girls in high school when I was still in the closet and my answer was that, black women would have told me straight up "uGay wena" other races thought I was just quirky. 😭😭
God really did us dirty by making us yearn companionship. (Personally) No matter how comfortable you are alone, you sometimes yearn for that person to be your safe space & vice versa.
Please stop saying you're "clean" when referring to HIV negative status. It makes it seem like HIV is a dirty thing, we're working on killing the stigmas. Check yourself.
I get her.
There are people, God and our ancestors send who act as catalysts in developing a sphere of your life. Some relationships remind you of the type of love you should be getting, some people come to teach you how to love yourself.
Guys, if your parents worked for governement and passed away before receiving their pensions, please on the GEPF website and look for the "unclaimed list" and check if your parents are not on there. The lists are divided according to provinces.
I am really bothered to learn that the suspect's housemates could hear her asking for help and the noises from her beating up and thought it was their "usual fights."
The fact that no one intervened, even a knock on the door would've made a difference.

You guys would've been wishing me RIP. My car rolled like 6 times earlier today and it got stopped by a pole from rolling onto the street. thank Godney I was wearing my seatbelt. I can't move my neck but I am alive.
In 2017 I told
@bonang_m
in East London that I would make her proud for always putting me on. I am speaking at the United Nations General Assembly next month, it hasn’t sunk in yet.
Riky is an icon and he will be remembered as that. He defined a entire visual era. He set the bar for fashion amongst rappers in the whole of Africa. I definitely believe his legacy will live on like Tupac.
My best friend’s Mom called to congratulate me on the new job and said she would give me transport money for the whole month of Feb, which is when I start. 😭😭😭
People who screenshot and send tweets to people off social media always forget that some people will stick to their guns. I wouldn't type it on here if I was scared of people knowing how I felt.
Now people cannot even use their own mithi on themselves without men assuming bayathakatwa. It's giving "thinking the world revolves around u."
Sometimes, people are trying to protect themselves from crazy families or exes that use iMithi.
Today I woke up with a smile on my face. End of November I packed up all my shit & left the EC for good with no plan, I just knew that I had to leave.
3rd of January, I start a new job in a senior role, leading an entire department in my favourite city in South Ahh.
Today, I started as the head of the grade 2 class at a local school but yho it's tough resource wise. This is my class and I want to raise funds to add visual aids and media because I also have an autistic child in my class. I would ask, but any small donation would help.
For me it’s people forgetting that just this past year a 14 year old girl stabbed and killed a talented LGBTI individual and used that term whilst doing it. So please don’t tell us we’re sensitive when people are literally dying.
Guys, even if u don’t believe in traditional and cultural things, please just do them so your kids don’t struggle later in life. If u can believe in a snake giving someone an apple, what’s hard to believe about people being spoken to via dreams?
Today, I realised my Mom's death still affects me. It's been 11 years. I know the is not timing to healing but it shouldn't hurt like it did yesterday.
I am sitting in the line to get vaccinated at Victoria Hospital and I love that the nurses come out every hour to teach people aboutt the side-effects and not having booze for the next 3 days and consequences. Also, that we can only take Panado and no other pain killers for S-E.
I had a moment earlier today where I shed a young tear. 2018 has been a good year & moving to JHB as well. Anyone who knows me will tell u the shit I’ve been through these past few years. This year has been a great reminder of my self-worth. Today, I got headhunted for a job.😭
Just walked past this colored lady on a wheelchair and homegirl shot her shot. “Awusifuni isiqhwala?” Then she says “yeyi bhut’ unxibe ishirt emhlophe ndiyathetha” I tell her I don’t like girls then she says “now that uyitsho ndiyayibona.”
😅
Someone in the comments in Lasizwe’s apology video said that he must think next time & use his platform properly because his actions affect LGBTI+ folk in townships while his protected living surbubia.
Having my notifications off for What’s App has been great for my mental health. I respond to things in my own time. If I don’t have the mental capacity for the app, I don’t bother opening it.
I am sorry if we are not interested in teaching you anything about the LGBTI+ community. It’s been years we’ve been talking and sharing our lived experiences, we still do now. If you cannot take anything away from that, then go up your comprehension skills. We are TIRED.
This is a harmful comment because condoms break and there’s the issue of stealthing, where people remove condoms without your knowledge. We also live in a society where some women do not have the autonomy to negotiate condom use in their relationships.
We’re not having the “they should disclose status” discussion again. Who would wanna immediately disclose their status to people who still get “shocked to the core” by ARVs?
Since I have started praying again, my one ask to God has been to heal my heart. From anger, hurt, sadness, pain, jealousy and anything that stunts my growth.
That screenshot about that lady who called her colleague “Stabane” is what we’ve been saying about some black women’s homophobia. You’ll kiki with someone kanti they’re talking homoprejudice smack about u to folk, others wait for u to anger them for the prejudice to jump out.
Being MSM refers to sexual behavior and not sexuality. Men engage in sex with other men for their own reasons and can still identify as straight. An example would be men who have sex with other men for survival (whether financial or not) e.g men in jail or male sexworkers.
The homophobia in townships and rural communities is horrible. I see it here, the minute they see or hear you’re gay they become aggressive and will start provoking you to get a reaction so they can do what they intended to do.
