Its been a long time since i wrote something.I have to say this coz its been pissing me off the whole day yesterday. I went to a salon yesterday and as my friend promised to do my hair but she disappeared on me.As the weekend was getting over and my hair looked like i've seen a ghost, so i rushed to the nearest salon and the owners there are frm Maputo they are Shangaan no offence ppl.They have welcomed me and i saw that the environment is not gud but hey my hair needs to be done, gud environment or not. They started doing their thing and hey after that long sitting and the crying of these ppl's kids drove me nuts. The smell of their armpits is out of this world, as i said my hair has to be done so i sat there patiently for my hair to be done.We all know that these ppl know how to do one's hair.I told myself that i'm not coming here again, it was my first and last time setting my foot there.Now i'm looking gud and no one can say that i was tortured by smelly armpits before my hair was done.Now ladies have u ever been in the situation like this and how did u handled it?People are complimenting me and i just say thanks but damn if u knew what i went through for that gud looking hair.What i have noticed in these ppl's salon they are always full of customers but hey kuyanuka laphayana. Cum on gals talk to me.

@ Hlehle>>What i have noticed in these ppl's salon they are always full of customers but hey kuyanuka laphayana. Cum on gals talk<<This is so wrong Hlehle, you dont refer to human beings as these people... who gives you that right to think you are superior than them? You should have just gone to Sandton (Hair Images, etc) the minute you discovered the standard was not matching up to yours!Geeze Im so fuming right now!!!!!!

Tjo, tjo, tjo.......the title of this OFFENSIVE article is so misleading. Here i am thinking it's one of those men issues articles kanti wena Hlehle you are ranting about people from Zim and Maputo and their stinking armpits.What has being Shangaan to do with being from Maputo or running a salon or having the ability to make your hair look beautiful?I suggest you change the tone of your article. imagine if you were one of 'these people' that are referred to in the article. i doubt you'd be laughing. IT'S NOT FUNNY and if that was the intention, IT'S IN BAD TASTE.South Africans don't come out smelling of roses either if there are people out there who still use stereotypes and generalise to put their points across.

As offensive as it is,there is an element of truth at what Hlehle is saying, although she should have rather used the words "most of poor shangaan, zim,and nigerian people" do have a problem with bad smell, although all races have a problem with bad smell if their hygiene is not up to standard. there is this lady in my workplace cleans our offices everybody would just get up and go once she i felt so sorry for her, i bought soap, sanex and washing powder. i gave them to her and told her that she must atleast try not to wear the same clothes twice and to take a bath and that i feel sorry for her because people are making fun of her. she said she doesnt earn much and sometimes she doesnt have money to buy those things, she has eight kids. i gave her a job, she now comes to clean my house on friday's and does the washing during weekend. some people have a problem with their armpits no matter how many times they wash shem!

Being dirty and stinking has nothing to do with being poor. Water is free mo Afrika Borwa, secondly we are charged R100-R300 for hair do, so on average some one is earning more than R600 rands per day (no tax, UIF orPAYE charged). Take R30 from that R600, buy a sunlight (R4) soap that can be used as (soap and also a roll on, it works), an exlamation body spray (R18) and a cocoa butter (R7), You have R1 change and smell fesh the whole month.

Education has got nothing to do with malema being a inuku lokukhuluma, he's just like Lekota,,,,even if ufundile ,mayiyidlabhalokukhuluma ,they's nothing education can do for you......
you will find uneducated old men talking some sense onto you and the way they talk will charm you,,more especially those rural men....
by the way Mbeki didn't tell JZ to do this and that, but they did things together ,and at the end the other was became a snitch, for some reasons,,,he should be thankfull that JZ is a man enough to take the fall alone without naming others,,even to look like a clown to those who are ignorant...but those who are good thinkers new all along that someone betrayed someone there....
By the way where is lekota??? , he just vanished after polokwane,,,to show that the ship is sinking on the other side....
