Off Topic Ezamasiko Nanomayini…….

 

Choice CondomAm I the only one who likes the new Choice adverts. “Eliminate the element of surprise scrutinize and flip HIV into HI-Victory” I really love the concept *especially the coloured accent that goes with the ads* But ke I must say I still don’t TRUST Choice condoms and I don’t see myself EVER using them *unless I am stranded in a deserted place, with just me, a choice condom and Boris Kodjoe* what’s your take on this guys *on the choice cd’s, not Boris ofcourse*?

Ms Mbau

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I still feel that ladies *obviously excluding the shims* shouldn’t wear pants at a funeral. I still have this mentality that dress code is very important in terms of respecting the deceased. The above pic is from Jabu’s funeral as you can see Khanyi wore pants, at a funeral I was at on Saturday some ladies wore pants there as well. Do u think I am fussing about nothing and a person should wear what they like at a funeral?

sabcEver watched SABC1 news at 19h30 and asked yourself if South Africa really has a shortage of good Zulu and Xhosa news readers, or is SABC1 just good at getting the bad ones? Hayi mani, yazi sometimes you can see that uMancube has a fear for saying long and uncommon words, at time I even feel embarrassed on her behalf. Bloggers are you happy with the Mzansi Not-So-Sho news readers???

IsiphandlaOk, as you guys know, I was on leave for a couple of weeks in July. Part of the reason for me taking leave was to perform “some” traditional ceremonies *Yes, ubaba will never change*. Now I am currently wearing isiphandla – “This is a dried piece of goat skin from an animal that has been offered to the ancestors”. Now in my family, females wear iziphadla zabo on their right hand, but the thing is I also wear my watch on the same hand. The point is - I was so pissed off when an old man stopped me yesterday and said: “Ndodakazi, uyehlisa isithunzi losiko lwakho ngokufaka iwashi esandleni esisodwa nesiphandla sakho” I was like WTF this man is telling me to wear isiphandla on it’s own? Does that make any sense to ya’ll coz to me it doesn’t???. Neway, I came home and asked for Daddy’s opinion on this matter and he said: “As long as I am wearing isiphandla sami with pride, it doesn’t matter what accessories accompany it”

Black & WhiteDo u guys think that South Africa will ever reach a stage where we will do away with comments like:
“Congratulations, you are the first black person to accomplish……”
“I never knew black people could do that, I’m impressed!”
“WOW you speak such good English I could never say you are black” 

I mean, when will we reach a time when a great achievement doesn’t appear to have more value, just because of the colour of your skin????

Bloggers, I could go on forever because I have lots of Off Topics in my head, so let me take a break here and hear what Off Topics do you have in mind, especially ezamasiko as well as nomayini.

Enjoy your day people!!!!

Hey non's i hate that condom ad wth passion,so does the domestos one with the ugly 'germ',stil on ads am i the only one whos scared of the sanex n vaselin mutlple naked bodies?i dont usually watch the news but i once saw the new zulu gal(i ddnt get her name) she was realy struggling,maybe it was her 1st day

My most fave ads are the ones where women go"before eating this yoghurt I was bloated and feeling all the time"

I mean,it would have been nicer with them telling us"before this yoghurt,I used to fart so loud and the smell?Urghhhh?But,thanks to Nutriday,I fart quieter and the smell has actually proven.....Try it,it will do wonders"

Hayi Nonny, mina I don't like those ads, but i think it's more coz i'm tired of HIV, everyday it's HIV. I'm just tired.

I saw Khanyi in the pants, uyaphapha nje loyo. Oh and by the way, last weekend I was at Eastgate, and i see this couple coming towards me,and I think eish, that girl is too glam, 100 inch boots and all, and guess what, when they got closer I realised it was the Mbau's themselves. I always see them at Eastgate(ok, always is an exaggeration), but their baby is never in tow...oh well. 

Will come back with my off-topics later.

Hau, is Tbo Touch going out with a city sesla girl? Which one, I bet its the loud one, Phumzile i think her character's name is. 

Hihi Lepogo, those ads irritate me. Especially the one where the girl is telling her grandmother she's bloated, and it's not even her that's talking, but a voice over...eish!

Unfortunately times has changed. 
The pants at funerals is the same as wearing pants in church 
Y do we have to respect the deceased and not God?
What u feel when u c ppl wearing pants at funerals should also feel the same when u c them wearing them at church

Oh afrolicious, in that case, there is irony in last night's episode of City Sesla. You know how David and Phumzile got married just coz they were jealous of Themba and his girl(bad with names). 
Ya, so now in real life, Tumi and her man(the GI couple) are said to be getting married, and then Phumi and her real boyfriend do the same.

Dont shoot me, i'm not saying Phumi's doing it coz Tumi's doing it, I'm just saying the irony is funny...

I love the SCRUTINIZE  advert, growing up in die Kaap, i relate to the accent. As for the condom, i think it depends on the person which to use, whether to use or not, too bad for people like me who are allergic to condoms, its either we abstain or do it ourselves. 

As for dress codes, it is a disgrace to see black people wearing pants at the church and at the funerals. No matter how much the world has changed i think we should always remember how we were raised. 

@Nonny- yazi uyadelela wena ntombazana, how can you use the F word in teh same sentence as an "old man", i wish bengiseduze kwakho, bengizokutshengisa mina",

Nonny, I feel you on the pants-wearing thing to funerals....I still don't understand what these ladies are thinking....one thing I know is that they will never enter any graveyard in Limpopo looking/wearing like that. There, you wear a long skirt (should fall below your knees), doek/ beret'/any mongatse, a long sleeve blouse/shirt or jersey/jacket...and if you are wearing a long sleeve shirt only, you need to put a shawl over your shoulders...

Off-topic: I listen to RAW on highveld stereo every morning and everytime Bongani present traffic update or comment on the topic discussed I cringe 70% of the time. I find myself saying 'SHUT UP Bongani' (on comments). Traffic: I hate it when he says floor of traffic instead of flow...

SABC news/weather presenters: I love this Laura woman on SABC2 weather...her facial expression (once she is signalled that she on 'air') just kill me.

@Nonny, nice article and here is my take 

I have always asked myself this question especially the English part, and recently got pissed off when a white woman reading a paper at a café said she can pick up from the style of writing if the journalist was black or white. Apparently white people have a certain grammar and vocabulary which is different “superior” to their black counterparts and no she wasn’t reading the Daily Sun.

The pants thing, I find disrespectful and also wearing sleeveless tops at church and funerals, plus having an old married woman not covering her head at church or at a funeral.

29 Jul 2008 04:21

I hate that 'Choice' advert. That paper-cut clippings concept is a big turn-off for me.
I still do not understand why wearing pants in Church or at funerals is deemed as a big deal. Especially, when such pants are nicely fitting (not extra-tight displaying everything). 
What do you guys think of T-bo's last friday colourful attire???? Me loved it...

Guys i just need to say im loving Adam weGenerations, i especially remember his line when he said to that druggie chick of here " Hawu Portia, kunini sibhema, wena usufuna sihlale sibhema" hahahahahahha, he cracks me up big time.

Same here maybe i am too zilalini but somethings are just wrong. I cant even wear pants at the house of the funeral even days before the actual funeral while we are still busy helping out ngamasalad.

On the language part,for some reason i can tell from an SMS that the SMS was written by a ZIM guy and not a south african guy, pls people dont take offence to this but there is some vocab that a normal Sipho from Emlazi who wud not use (probably not in our syllabus).

@ Simmone, I so agree with u gal. 

"Nonny for how long do u have to wear is'phandla?"
I am going to wear it until one day it falls off for itself *BTW I have the choice to take it own sooner, but I wont!!!*

@ Cngle,None taken from me, maybe it was how she said it more than what she was saying.

Still you get black folks who have advanced vocabularies due to their level of education and background and some people comment that bayaxhoma (showing off) or they are “coconuts” and it even translates to the way they write.

And as for the condom issue, I am the master of "pull/ phepha when he comes", which is not teh safest but its better spending days unable to wee. Sometimes i just sit for hours and think that maybe its a punishment that I was meant to die from HIV, but then I know that Gawd will never give me something I cant handle. I have faith that he has protected me so far and he will continue. Thats why i was confessed that "sperm" frightened me, coz its one thing I cant run away from.

Oh come on guys!!! what's wrong with that advert? I fail to understand why yol got a problem with that...

They're obviously dressed and the poor little girl is too young to have boobies, so there was really nothing for the boy to look or fix his eyes at.  And besides...it was probably a mission for the advertisers to get a boy who was actually gonna carry that out.

The little cuttie pie didn,t even have much to say just "papa" and "yeah" that's all.  Another little boy wasn't even going to have the emphasis and easily learn the words fast.  Really now people, think about it...

Miss K, Sonia is advertising hair colour, not hair.

Apparently white people have a certain grammar and vocabulary which is different “superior” to their black counterparts and no she wasn’t reading the Daily Sun.

"One ad I'm absolutely loving is the Sparletta one. This dude drinks out of the bottle and then realises his son's seen him and he tries to hide behind the fridge door."
I like that ad too we-Golden Star, it reminds me of how I hate it when people drink out of the bottle, but at times I find myself doing that as well. I really gotta get over that BAD habit!!!!

"Nice one Nons, sorry abt the pics!!"

Hai everybodi!!i am bloody pissed off!! Nonny you are lucky to get a few weeks off work, i love the company you are working for,  i had umsebenzi this weekend on a sunday. i just dont know what is it with taking leave where i work, but it is just impossible to take time off work, my boss i just impossible!!! jerr, i told her specifically that i need to perform a ritual at my house,so i need at least thursday and friday to prepare,but nooooo, she expected me to be at work because of some function which i am not involved in at work. the only thing i can do if i want to take my non-accumulative leave days is when i stay off work and send smses. i dint come on a monday bcos i had to clean up the house the yard and everything else. i called my boss and told her. today when i got to work i got a letter of warning. what should i do mara? i would excuse her if she was white,or a black man, but the devil is black woman! damn i hate her.

he will ask the others who passed on years back to negotiate with the white chickens i would be slaughtering to go easy on me. yhoo dont hold ur breath he will be so angry at you, bcoz if you slaughetr chicken only few adults (ancestors will get as ip in the blood).Imagine your uncle standing there saying, you off all people slaughtered a chicken and now I didnt get anything, not even a wing.

And all the old ancestors will be like, "yhey tshelani lengani ingazobheda lana, if besifuna igazi lenkukhu ngesifele e KFC', akazise inkomo"(the child needs to stop her bulls**t, if we wanted chicken blood we could have died at KFC, she needs to bring a cow)

"@Cnglma....Hay mna sisi I didnt buy a cow, i only had igogogo and 1 sheep and my dad said it was enuf. I think he was just grateful to have me finally do the traditional stuff coz i always fight him on those issues."

@ Miss K, u are just like me, here's what my dad said to the ancestors about me when we were shunqising impepho: "We baka ??? *mypraise surname*, ngicela nixolela lomtana wami obuye abe nekhanda elil'khuni, ubuye akhulume izinto ngoba esaphethwe ubungane, kodwa ke madlozi amahle selehlile igwebu and uzonenzela umsebenzi wenu".......after that speech my sister and I started laughing, eish my dad was so pissed.” Shame man, my old man is on his own level when it comes to tradition.

hi

i remember my first salary, i also gave it to my uncle,and he took me to shopping claiming that i need to have a new clothes for work .
if i am not mistaken he spend all my salary on me and even add from his own pocket,  even now my uncle still buy  groceries and pay for my petrol if i am broke. 

my whole family always complains that he is the reason i dont get married. he is very protective , i can use his cars anytime, he stays with my kids. he is a father and a mother to me.so i just hope that  will never bring me bad luck  in future.

There are black people who have above average vocabulary and can give their fair skinned counterparts a run for their money.

My gripe is with the stereotype that black people have Bantu education English vocabulary and their brains hurt when they look at the Oxford dictionary and cannot have well developed vocabularies and master the English language

Thought i'd go off topic and share this email i got

The greatest irony of life~

"Loving the right person at the wrong time, having the wrong person when the time is right and finding out you love someone right after that person walks out of your life...

And sometimes, you think you're already over a person, but when you see them smile at you, you'll suddenly realize that you're just pretending to be over them just to ease the pain of knowing that they will never be yours again...

For some, they think that letting go is one way of expressing how much they love that person...
in my opinion, some are afraid to see the one they love being held by someone else...

Most relationships tend to fail not because the absence of love. Love is always present.
It's just that one was being loved too much and the other was being loved too little...

As we all know that the heart is the center of the body but it beats on the left. maybe that's the reason why the heart is not always right...

Most often we fall in love with the person we think we love but to only discover that for them we are just for passing time, while the one who truly loves us remains either a friend or a stranger...

So here's a piece of advice;
Let go when you're hurting too much.
Give up when love isn't enough.
And move on when things are not like before...

It's certain... there is someone out there WHO WILL LOVE YOU EVEN MORE.

Waaw ...Pooky, this is very very very true my friendship ..... eish i was just asking Nonny to write another Off Topic infinite reloaded. so i could share what im going through ...im so lazy to write an article about it ... Im torn between respecting the elders and following my heart.

As most bloggers know ... i planned to get married a year after next year my reason being to finish my studies first. I got an offer to work in UK as of Jan next year it is a 2 years contract(gonna be renewed on yearly basis), i can go there for only a year and come back Dec next year(if i dont renew my contract) my problem is ... the soon to be my grandfather wants us to get married by next year (September) ... and i real dont know what to do anymore, im so torn between honouring the elders and following my heart

any guidance will be appreciated

2. Do you want to work overseas??

BA, my love firstly thank u for sharing and Pooky do u know how busy I am today for vusaring leblog from abafileyo so unexpectedly??? Neway, no use complaining now, let me advise BA.

Marriage is a big  step. U need to get married at a time when u ur furture husband are comfortable and happy with. Ur future father inlaw *in my opinion* has no right to tell u guys when to get married. Coz at the end of the day, uthandana nendodana yakhe and not him. Gone are the days where elders dictate to us how to live our lives, we need guidance from them, not ukuthi basidonse ngamakhala.

BTW, working in the UK is a fantastic opportunity for u and judging from what I have heard u say about ur boo, I doubt he would prevent u from considering that opportunity. 

Neway, goodluck with whatever decision u end up taking, but just remember u have to decide what's best for u and ur man, not what "suits" his family. I mean if ur man can wait for 2010 to sika ur khekhe 4 da very first time EVER, then why can't ubaba wakhe naye alinde ukuba nomakoti oqotho????

@Cande ....

He said, he is old now and can die anytime but he would like to leave his grandson with a wife when he dies. hubby-to be tried everything to explain to his grandfather why we cant get married next year but ke the old man asked him to honor him just one more time before he died ... that's the whole situation. He is the only older person left in his family, His mother died while he was still young and the gandmother died early this year ... his father is just a sperm donor ...so the grandfather is everything to him.

Both families will meet on the 29th of November to start lobola negotiations.  There were gonna start irregardless of grandfather's wishes. I spoke to my parents about the whole thing and they gonna speak to them about it on the 29th.

It has always been my dream to work overseas  atleast a year but im still negotiating that with the hubby-to-be.

BA - Eish, this makes ur decision an even harder one to make, but u honestly u seem like the idea of working overas. Mina I'd say, talk to ur boo and explain ur reasons of wishing to take this offer in a way that doesn't make him feel like he makes sacrifices for u and u only think of urself.

I wore both goat & cow sphandla on my right hand, and dammmmmmmmmnnn the cow one smells so yucky, I had to apply flour on it everymorning and put a bandana around it, so for that entire perioud I made a point of co-odinating the colours of those bandana's with whatever outfit I was wearing.......yerrr that was a mission I tell u.

Reply from: TheLady 11/25/2008 4:33:45 PM


I can't explain it properly guys-but when slaughtering a cow-there's the fat between the skin and the meet-that's umhlwehlwe. The elders are suppose to wrap it around your shoulders or they tear enough for you to put in your head.

Some other parts of KZN believe that if it turns brownish in colour you are no longer a virgin (you are not pure anymore, white symbolises that mos). And ke it tears and sometimes it even falls when you there dancing-believe me I have seen it happen a couple of times.

For my umemulo I was stiffer than uMgobhi coz I didn't want any mistake!


Best-Achiever 11/25/2008 4:46:29 PM


Nonny + The Lady i give up ...hhayi nina guys you are something else... dont thing i can be able to lie and hold it together like you ... and beside my mother is Swati so there is no way you can rob a Swati woman when it comes to seeing if you re still a virgin or not ... she can tell without testing you...



It's all about negotiating-if your man sends really good people they'd pay a reasonable price-if they are slow..then i feel sorry for your man. The cows are not the same price-the most expensive is the mother's cow (you being a virgin...eish) followed by your daddy's cow..the 9th cow is cheaper than the two and then ke from that point every cow is +- a third less then the one before it...(eg 8th cow is R3000, 7th cow would most probably be R2750 and so forth). The standard amount for most people is usually around R25000 (It differs from family to family)

And you are not allowed to bath after the gall bladder bathing. you smell the whole day from head to toe.

Is there any other reason why one must wear isiphandla except for the connection with ancestors? In a period whereby you not wearing isiphandla, does it mean there is no connection with amadlozi? 
Pretty, isiphandla is worn for many reasons. It all depends on how traditional ur family is, with mines I seldom not have one, at one point people thought I was a sangoma, coz I had one after the other. But one thing is for sure, nomatter what the occassion it always has to do with amadlozi if u're wearing one.

TheLady
25 Nov 2008 14:04

PrettyPee-I will only talk about what  my family does-and what I understand. There isn't a total amount of times one needs to wear isphandla. The first time one wears it, is when  they have imbeleko (it's like a function to welcome a baby). After that some families will not wear it again, some a lot. And yes if you are wearing one it means a function was being perfomed.

The only people who wear isiphandla fulltime are izangoma, izinyanga. I do not know about connection with amadlozi.

My "ntonjana"  was done at the same time as my sister's. Two cows were slaughtered and her cow moooed and mine did nt ....which might explain being single at 29 (not that any of my cousins are married) ....Of course they went on to say idlozi alivumanga...a Xhosa/Pondo version of that.

I had to pull a Jabu Pule on ma second day at work, to go from WP  to EC.

At home,  I was told not to get rid of a HUGE 'cow sphandla' on my hand, to  let it FALL off by itself. I had visions of yours truly fighting Capetonian flies as the dry cow sphandla got firmer and firmer.

Tried to explain that i work in a food environment and could nt wave it in the laboratory. All my pleas fell on deaf ears...the secret was gonna be between me & ancestors, that was fair with me.

On my way back to CPT, ebhasini, I cud nt take the rotting smell on my wrist, so i took it off, angazi ababeseduze kwami what they thought. Kept it in a suitcase and took it back home, my non-masiko clued up parents were happy to see their sphandla. Nobody cared, except for, i am still single at 29, maybe that is connected somehow....tl tlt lt..

We are not firm ancestory believers at home .... we dont do amasiko and stuff but i did ask them for umemulo because i loved it from my folk at shool ... and since my mother is Swati and  my Dad is Zulu and in my neighbourhood we dont do amasiko... we had to do most of the things the Swati way. i didnt wore isiphandla.. all i wanted was that viginity testing and the DVD

TL:
Domba is a pre-marital initiation, the last one in the life of a Venda girl or boy. The chief or sovereign will 'call' a domba and preparations are made by the families for their girls to be ready and to prepare what’s necessary to attend the ceremony (entry fees for the ruler, clothes and bangles).

Historically girls used to stay with the chief for the whole duration (3 months to 3 years) of the initiation; nowadays because of schooling, girls only spend weekends at the ruler’s kraal.

This rite of passage was attended by both girls and boys after each individual had previously attended other separated initiations dedicated to one’s gender; Vusha and Tshikanda for girls and Murundu for boys (the circumcision done during this rite has been introduced by North Sotho). Since the missionaries decided that mixing males and females in the same ceremony was immoral.

Only girls attend the Domba which has two main functions teaching girls how to prepare themselves to become wives (birth planning, giving birth and child care, how to treat a husband, and nowadays the teaching of AIDS risks); and bringing fertility to the new generation of the tribe. 

Thank Gaad for Google,, I only knew it as some traditional dance done by girls who have been entabeni..,,,LOL...um so ashamed ryt now, need to go home(venda) and learn more about my culture,

when u finaly go home, u have to go wearing what we call Shedo, but i call it traditional g-string coz it looks like it and u wear nothing on top, so whenever u meet old ladies / men u have to greet them by lying on ur side until they pass (like they do in muvhago),

Reply from: TheLady 11/25/2008 4:33:45 PM


I can't explain it properly guys-but when slaughtering a cow-there's the fat between the skin and the meet-that's umhlwehlwe. The elders are suppose to wrap it around your shoulders or they tear enough for you to put in your head.

Some other parts of KZN believe that if it turns brownish in colour you are no longer a virgin (you are not pure anymore, white symbolises that mos). And ke it tears and sometimes it even falls when you there dancing-believe me I have seen it happen a couple of times.

For my umemulo I was stiffer than uMgobhi coz I didn't want any mistake!


Best-Achiever 11/25/2008 4:46:29 PM


Nonny + The Lady i give up ...hhayi nina guys you are something else... dont thing i can be able to lie and hold it together like you ... and beside my mother is Swati so there is no way you can rob a Swati woman when it comes to seeing if you re still a virgin or not ... she can tell without testing you...



It's all about negotiating-if your man sends really good people they'd pay a reasonable price-if they are slow..then i feel sorry for your man. The cows are not the same price-the most expensive is the mother's cow (you being a virgin...eish) followed by your daddy's cow..the 9th cow is cheaper than the two and then ke from that point every cow is +- a third less then the one before it...(eg 8th cow is R3000, 7th cow would most probably be R2750 and so forth). The standard amount for most people is usually around R25000 (It differs from family to family)

Nonny: With me i did it to invite amadlozi to my new house, slaughtered a cow and sheep. sheep was for the house, the cow was for thanksgiving. we clean the house with the water that has the cow's blood and sprinkle it all over the yard. And you are not allowed to bath after the gall bladder bathing. you smell the whole day from head to toe.

Isiphandla..... how many times in a year or lifetime are you supposed to wear it? Do they perform rituals everytime you have to wear one? Is there any other reason why one must wear isiphandla except for the connection with ancestors? In a period whereby you not wearing isiphandla, does it mean there is no connection with amadlozi?  Nice article Nonny

Is there any other reason why one must wear isiphandla except for the connection with ancestors? In a period whereby you not wearing isiphandla, does it mean there is no connection with amadlozi? 
Pretty, isiphandla is worn for many reasons. It all depends on how traditional ur family is, with mines I seldom not have one, at one point people thought I was a sangoma, coz I had one after the other. But one thing is for sure, nomatter what the occassion it always has to do with amadlozi if u're wearing one.

TheLady
25 Nov 2008 14:04

PrettyPee-I will only talk about what  my family does-and what I understand. There isn't a total amount of times one needs to wear isphandla. The first time one wears it, is when  they have imbeleko (it's like a function to welcome a baby). After that some families will not wear it again, some a lot. And yes if you are wearing one it means a function was being perfomed.

The only people who wear isiphandla fulltime are izangoma, izinyanga. I do not know about connection with amadlozi.

@ Cody:
What i dont get though is the spandla thingie neh? what will happen if you just take it off, because that thing smells jerrr!! when does it stop smelling? my bF' stinks everytime it's wet.

My "ntonjana"  was done at the same time as my sister's. Two cows were slaughtered and her cow moooed and mine did nt ....which might explain being single at 29 (not that any of my cousins are married) ....Of course they went on to say idlozi alivumanga...a Xhosa/Pondo version of that.

I had to pull a Jabu Pule on ma second day at work, to go from WP  to EC.

At home,  I was told not to get rid of a HUGE 'cow sphandla' on my hand, to  let it FALL off by itself. I had visions of yours truly fighting Capetonian flies as the dry cow sphandla got firmer and firmer.

Tried to explain that i work in a food environment and could nt wave it in the laboratory. All my pleas fell on deaf ears...the secret was gonna be between me & ancestors, that was fair with me.

On my way back to CPT, ebhasini, I cud nt take the rotting smell on my wrist, so i took it off, angazi ababeseduze kwami what they thought. Kept it in a suitcase and took it back home, my non-masiko clued up parents were happy to see their sphandla. Nobody cared, except for, i am still single at 29, maybe that is connected somehow....tl tlt lt..

TL:
Domba is a pre-marital initiation, the last one in the life of a Venda girl or boy. The chief or sovereign will 'call' a domba and preparations are made by the families for their girls to be ready and to prepare what’s necessary to attend the ceremony (entry fees for the ruler, clothes and bangles).

Historically girls used to stay with the chief for the whole duration (3 months to 3 years) of the initiation; nowadays because of schooling, girls only spend weekends at the ruler’s kraal.

This rite of passage was attended by both girls and boys after each individual had previously attended other separated initiations dedicated to one’s gender; Vusha and Tshikanda for girls and Murundu for boys (the circumcision done during this rite has been introduced by North Sotho). Since the missionaries decided that mixing males and females in the same ceremony was immoral.

Only girls attend the Domba which has two main functions teaching girls how to prepare themselves to become wives (birth planning, giving birth and child care, how to treat a husband, and nowadays the teaching of AIDS risks); and bringing fertility to the new generation of the tribe. 

Thank Gaad for Google,, I only knew it as some traditional dance done by girls who have been entabeni..,,,LOL...um so ashamed ryt now, need to go home(venda) and learn more about my culture,

For example u r a busy person and u cant answer ur phone and u dnt have time to listen to ur voice messages. We convert it 4 u and send it straight into ur inbox then u read it when u get time. So its actually that and much love. Bye

Have you guys watched "The Lunch Box" on SABC 3. The show is soo *bleep!* boring. The presenters are even more boring. Dennis Tau has no presenting skills or whatsoever so is Liezel van der Wht ever it is........The should cut the show off completely and replace it with something more funky and fun  like "the Tyra Banks Show."

All the SABC3 brand ambassadors needs brand new personalities....lets all contribute people in order to buy them new ones, even second hand ones will do!!!!!!!!lol

carino
27 Nov 2008 15:04

wow, thelady... yha, nhe.... Mna i say you can never trust a guy... well, it depends on what "wants to be with her" means... Coz, there is a very short distance between a guy's heart and his dick.... So, nna ke re, this girl shouldnt assume things based on what she feels like is happening. 

maud
27 Nov 2008 15:04

@  Nonny, there you go  , your right , you see now settled Hennessy its what you are going to buy.its a ones offer mos.

@ Nonny, there you go , your right , you see now settled Hennessy its what you are going to buy.its a ones offer mos.
And besides, it's not like the money is coming of Pooky's pocket.

hayi bo Nonny the guys are getting iJ n B...uyabona mos ukuthi basebenza nge shoe string budget
hahhahaha I understand that ibudget inswepmu but ke i-Jabulani Bafana, Jenny & Betty aka J&B is an absolute no no as a gift. It will reflect poorly on ur company as well Pooky.

Toxic
27 Nov 2008 15:09

carino, the question is not "how does she know if the guy loves her" so don't worry about the distance btwn heart and dick.......tell us how u'd know if someone was interested in you.......

Nonny
27 Nov 2008 15:09

And besides, it's not like the money is coming OUT of Pooky's pocket.

LOL or perhaps let everyone just get smirnoff 18/18, it's only R50 per nottle, I'm sure Pooky's boss will be impressed, coz that way they save even more.

TheLady
27 Nov 2008 15:31

I get you carino, but Mr is saying he is interested, he is acting this way too...and Miss here feels it deep down in her gut. Now don't you think he is really interested?

Nonns, Pooky said the gents ARE GETTING the J and B, it's just the girls nje ayinkinga...

carino
27 Nov 2008 15:42

TheLady, guy hasnt said anything yet. Thats whats confusing girl. 
Girl wants hardcore evidence. 
problem is, there isnt such a thing as knowing for sure if someone wants you or not... you just also have to have your own strategy and play the game (in my best voice of BBA3's Mimi)
