What women go through

Written by Sbuhleza from the blog Home affairs on 17 Aug 2007
Favourite this post


I’m back home and there is no greater sense in the whole world than being at home, be surrounded by the people chose to your heart and have the sense of belonging, trust me. I’m sitting here watching HA and I have just realised how lucky and blessed I am not to go through what other women have went through. The fact of knowing that I didn’t do anything to deserve this life makes me realised that God is so Merciful of me. You might think or feel that somehow these people we met on daily basis on different circumstances have chosen to be like that, But this episode has enlightened, broadened and opened both my mind and eyes, it has in some strange way pointed and shaped my way of thinking. I have just realised that I must stop complaining and start thanking God for protecting from going through some of these painful experiences, I have just realised that I have to count my blessings everyday and it wonders me what the Lord has done. I never thought I could cry so much over something that I clearly know that it is only acting But hey I must admit HA has great actors and their story line is great and relates in everyway to our daily lives, I salute you women who created and who are passing the message and showing us (through your acting) what others are going through, this is giving us a new picture of the world and the people around us it is giving us a new meaning of like. Enough about my emotional stuff.

Please forgive me if I don’t have enough info on past episode, I did have time to watch them I only find updates from friends of my friends who happened to be friends of their friend and you know how can a story get twisted.

Mrs van Toner and Cheris 



While there in the court the witness that was called put it into court’s attention that Cherise left the child in the streets, although she tried to validate the reason but it was not enough not to put guilty on hem mum’s conscious, she then asked her lawyer to change her plea to guilty. So she is now guilty and the bails was withdrawn against her, so she will be waiting for the judgement in prison.
But if you were mrs van toner and you didn’t know what happened, will you still feel guilty, I couldn’t understand why she felt guilty of murder



Katherine

She is back to her old self, thanks to Ntsepe for buying her a camera now she can see what the camera reflects not what is in her mind, she even managed to take some pics, im glad this is over.

Mirriam. 



She was fired at work because she did sleep with her boss Cesear (I just wonder how many women out there with the likes of Sindiswa who are slaves of their jobs sexually, they don’t do this because they are cheap but because they are concerned about their families, we know how job market is like). But I love what Mirriam did because it has opened eyes of many suffering mothers and sisters in the working place, it has given them the strength to stand up for themselves once and for all because these bosses never have enough. So Ceaser has been fired after two co-workers stood up with her and against Ceaser, and Mirriam has been re-instated to her job, it all thanks to a talk she had with Vuyo, where Vuyo told her that she must stand for her rights. Vuyo was so excited to hear the news and she is so proud of her mother, who wouldn’t be.

Kathlego and Thandeka 

                                   

She decided not to go to Switzerland for her play. But to stay and be there for Thandeka, what a kind thought to give up your first and who knows maybe last chance to go abroad, this is so brave and king of Katlego after Thandeka failed to be there for her(after her hijack, she was so busy falsely inlove with Senzo, who was only after her success), she also moved in with here. Thandeka was so surprised that KathLego gave up he r play just to support her, but I thought the conscious was playing its part, there is no better revenge that being kind to the unkind, although it is hard but it does give the lesson to them. So I heard Senzo left Thandeka in the time where she needs him the most, and above that he left with her car, I always knew that there was something dodgy with Senzo, abaziyo bathi a leopard never changes its spot.

Vuyo 



This is the part that tears me apart, I couldn’t stop crying, and it was so real and painful. Vuyo was all happy on her practise because of what happed to her mother, she told Thabang what happened and what her mother did and it was so sweet hearing Vuyo singing praises about her mother and I like the both they have developed with each other, Vuyo now doesn’t only trust her mother she is also proud of her. We also saw Vuyo’s roomza helping Vuyo to choose the dress she will be wearing at gala but you know that Vuyo and her roomza are two different kinds of people so they didn’t agree on anything. Vuyo will be wearing her old dress she was wearing at her cousin’s wedding (speaking of the wedding, the lobola negotiations will be starting in September so I will let you know as soon as they have agreed on the date.). back to Vuyo and Thabani, there were sitting and talking(Vuyo was Thanking Thabani for being so supportive, patient and understanding to her) and things led to each other and they wanted to kiss, *heads coming together….lips and boom… *Vuyo could take/do it so Thabang was so upset and he left Vuyo ran after him, calling him but he couldn’t stop, so Vuyo run until she find him, a fuming Thabani told Vuyo that he cant go on like this and Vuyo told him that she was raped not only buy one guy but there were many, it was her first time to sleep with a man and she never slept with a man after that.She was crying like a hurting person, I guess Thabani understood this because he end up hugging her. Im just glad that Vuyo took the courage to tell Thabani, now he knows what is going on with Vuyo and he can help him deal with this and heal the pain.

Well you have heard it, so many women are going through many things outside and if you have never went through this just count that blessing hundred times. Know that you haven’t done anything good or different to them, it is just that God’s Mercy is upon you.

Hola Sbuhleza! Dankie Sani

I cried when Vuyo was telling Tabane bout the rape thing - I jst thought of it as a real thing n what would I if it happens to me or ny other sister out there.

Hayi ke what finished me off is when Ceaser was told to leave the building n the ladies were standing by the stairs:
Ceaser: U enjoyed it u B*****
Mirriam: (With her tired voice) - I hear that u dont even last a minute. 
Hayi ndiyihlekile ke le.

Lesley n Nandi????Haaaaaaaaaaaa

I neva thought Kathleho would actually help Thandeka.

Yho last night episode was sooo emotional.  The Vuyo/Thabane scene made me cry my eyes out (my boyfriend couldn't understand y I was crying).  Vuyo and her mum can sure act.  That was the best episode ever.

@Spice, i always thing about that and that is why i and my sister have started a project to help people pursue their dreams, we are sending a guy to pursue his career at the university and next  year we will be sending another lady to do nursing. You just dont know the feeling that you get when you have lend a helping hand, and saw someone smile because of you, it is wonderful feeling, try it, help someone. Another thing i have realised is that one can never realised how powerful he is until he try something out.

I'm also in tears thinking about the sad episode that Vuyo went through! Anyways,
Home Affairs' people can act. I don't even think people like Ceasar even deserve jail. Yesterday I was just thinking that a lot of people are really going through what these women went through, and have to keep quiet just for their families to survive.
Nobody should take advantage of a women (coward).
 
But guys I really crack up everytime I see Mirriam's smile - that fake "gap"! And the way she knows how to act "unsure" Ha! Ha! I just love Home Affairs when it comes to acting skills.

17 Aug 2007 05:04

HA has to be one of the best dramas in Mzansi so far. Damn those women can act. I always promise myself that I won't cry but I just can't do it. yesterday it was worse and I think Thabang took too long to hug Vuyo. I kept saying to myself, please give her a hug. I just love Home Affairs

Home Affairs is absolutely, 10000000% brilliant. Miriam you beauty. This woman can act. It’s a well assembled cast of very talented individuals who portray their roles with conviction and dignity. Next SAFTA awards Home Affairs should clean house. The best ensemble cast belongs to them.

One question thou, the chick who is representing Mrs. Schoeman, the legal aid lawyer, her lips are so black, does she put on black lipstick or smokes or something.

Last nite's episode was so touching and emotional especially when mirriam was given her job back and when vuyo told thabani that she was raped there i cried and i jst could not stop

some of us are truly blessed not to have all theses bad things happen to us but we must also pray for the other women who are being abused and raped by theri own husbands,boyfriend and family members

Heita hola to everybody on the site.Last night's episode was so painful and educational to me. Unfortunately I didn't start to watch it from the beginning 'cos I was watching Muvhango.The parts that touched me most was those ones of Vuyo and that one of Miriam,Nolitha and Sindiswa.It is really huttful to see that other men take advatange of poor women.

sponono
17 Aug 2007 07:33

I'm so glad almost all of you are impressed by that episode....I know some guys dont think they should cry...but I've shed a tear or two for some episodes becuse they've touched some hidden past experience...like when Miriam told vuyo not to give up university I cried, and yesterday I couldnt help it and what suprsed me was that one guy who's my neibough confessed that he would have cried already if he was Thaban..(but I could see that his eyes were teary anyway..but being a guy he wouldnt admit that he felt like crying)


I alos felt  dang no woman should cary such a burde.. and no guy should have to hear it form someone he loves...its just too much

as for Thaban not hugging her soon, I think he was too shocked and these type of situtations you never know how to react as a guy (and of cource he limps so maybe his posture was a bit difficult for a quick hug...lol)
Anyways...this actually THE BEST drama on TV right now and if any journo is readig this blog could they please give it as much exposure as it can get becasue its largely underrated...and its apparently produced by females--is taht true....well its pure excellence

17 Aug 2007 09:18

Almost everybody who watched Home Affairs yesterday (myself included) was touched. It proves what great talent these actresses has. When watching Generations this never happens. You just get your fix and go to sleep, only to complain the morning after... then you go back for more fix to your screen at 8pm... and so on and so forth... 

Why can't we cry when Karabo announced that he wants to adopt that child she has grown attached to: three words: "acting skills, missy ". This is such a shame that this is our most watched soapie but we don't react the way we are supposed to. And I'm still gonna watch the damn thing tonite!!

Cande
17 Aug 2007 09:45

Mirriam and Vuyo are very good actors, they made home afairs seem real, it was really touchy.
I laughed sooo much when Mirriam said to Ceasar "I heard that you don't even last a minute" hi hi hi am still LoL.
The yesterday's episode was worth watching, unlike the other episodes.
When Yoli said to Vuyo "u are not that ugly" that was really Ouch!!

Weiss
17 Aug 2007 09:56

@Cande-girl I heard the Yoli part. "Ouch" is even a nicer way to put it - damn that girl is such an air-head! What killed me was the part when she called her "a fashion challenge" WTF?? Sho.. I would have given her a hot clap when she said "there are lot of people out there who uglier than you". The nerve of that girl.
Anyways I'm off for now bye peeps! 

To Ompha, enjoy your day.

Honestly nami the last night episode really touched me,thinking of Cheris's mom who killed that junkie on self defence, n now she is going to jail for being a mom to her daughter n grand mother to her granddaughter.

The convisation that Thandeka n the other lesbian chick had, it really touched my heart n answered some of the question i had about how unfair life is. N that u get the small part of happiness in life n the rest is sadness,caz sadness makes u strong n brings u closer to God.N no matter how much money u have it does nt buy u happiness,serious the topic just made me think twice about my life n to always embrace those i have in ma life.

I dont even want to talk about Vuyo's part,but im going to do it anyway.Oh my God i just cried i could nt hold my tears back it was very sensitve n touching.What a brave young woman she n her mother r.GREAT ACTRESS INDEED.

Mam'Merriam she has made a name for herslf on the history of that hotel,finally she stood up for her rights. U know i was listening to her reading news at Metro FM this morning n i was like damn this woman is gifted. U wld nt even say its her that is on HA, even the voice is different wow.BIG UP TO SISTAHOOD
