Friday nights episode of Our Soapie was shocking! Shocking on two fronts: Firstly, the terribly acting scene when Dumisani and Khethiwe were fighting. I have always said that the fighting scenes on Generations are terribly acted out. But none the less, the story line behind all of that fighting was the second most shocking thing on Friday night.

Dumisani was home when Khethiwe arrived and Dumisani thought that Khethiwe had written the bad review about him, but I think Rathabile is the one who wrote all the bad stuff about Dumisani. Dumi lost his cool and started to grapple Khethiwe (that was very poorly acted out) and then Dumisani slapped Khethiwe with a back hand, to my shock, Khethiwe retaliated back with her own slap to Dumisani. That took Dumi over the edge and he knocked Khethiwe down and started to kick the living daylights out of her. I do not know how Khethi managed to escape but she did and ran over to Rathabile. Rathabile convinced Khethiwe to go to the police and file a report against Dumisani. Khethiwe was reluctant to do so at first but in the end she did and Dumisani was taken in by the cops. We now have to wait and see tonight how this pans out.

Can you imagine the chaos at Ezweni now: Sibusiso is in rehab and now Dumisani is in jail. Added to that Karabo is going to have a fight soon with Dineo when she finds out about her affair with Paul. Talk about drama!

Last night, Khethiwe asked Dumisani if he could take her off the Women Abuse campaign. We all know why Khethiwe does not want to be part of the campaign as she is being abused by Dumisani. And the funny thing is that Dumisani does not even seem to care that he is abusing his girl friend. I can see why Khethiwe is not running and telling the other interns that their boss abuses her but surely she should be able to go tell someone else and protect herself from possibly worse abuse.

I hated it when Khethiwe told the other interns that Dumisani is not violent at all. Why do you protect this man girl? But I guess we have talked a lot on this blog about the abuse Dumisani is giving to Khethiwe. I just hope she wakes up soon and faces her fears.

On the other relationship front, we have Sarah and Khaphela deciding to go for HIV counselling which I think is a very good idea. With the high HIV rate today, we have to be very careful about who we sleep with. I know it is never easy to ask someone to go tested with you before you sleep with them but it has to be done. Good on you Sarah and Khaphela for doing the right thing. I hope the rest of us an take a leaf out of their book.

It is funny how Dumisani has the nerve to give the interns an assignment on child abuse when he is the biggest women abuser out there. You could clearly see that Khethowe is not happy with this assignment as she knows she is being abused by Dumisani but she is doing nothing about. But I guess this is the scenario faced by a lot of women today. They are abused day in and day out in their homes by the partners but they keep quiet. Why do they do this? Is it because they are scared to come out and say anything due to the fear they have of their partner? I think this is the reason as I honestly can not think of anyone who enjoys being abused.

What baffles me even more about Khethiwe is that she now wants to take Dumisani to her home so she can meet her gogo and the rest of the family and let them know that she is now staying with Dumisani. Dumisani is not keen about this idea at all as he says ‘family complicates everything’. I think the reason that Dumisani does not want Khethiwe’s family to know that they are staying together is that Khethiwe can then turn to her family at any time and tell them that Dumisani is abusing her.

Now on the other hand, Khethiwe has someone like Ace who is deeply in love with her but she is rather opting to be stuck in an abusive relationship. Ace is not Mr. Perfect but you can see he loves Khethiwe. Who would ever have thought that Ace of all people would write a love letter? Well he did write one for Khethiwe and Khethiwe just through it away.

At times we fall in love with the wrong person and I think that is exactly what has happened to Khethiwe.

I was livid last night when I was watching Our Soapie! I know Dumisani is a bastard but what he did last night to Khethiwe was just unacceptable! How can you honestly lay your hands on a woman and then to top it off he goes ahead chokes her until she could not breathe! Dumisani then forced Khethiwe to say that she is sorry before he let go of her.

And then in the evening when the two of them are home Dumisani has the nerve to tell Khethiwe that their ‘fight’ was all Khethiwe’s faulty and that she should not have upset him in the first place. And all of this just because Khethiwe spent the night with a friend and not Dumisani.

What baffles me is the fact that Khethiwe herself still goes back and stays with this guys. I know they say love is blind but Khethi.. wake up!!! Dumisani has hurt you far too many times but you still want to go back to him. Have you forgotten about the bandages you wore for months all because of Dumisani?

But then on the other hand, they are people who believe that Khethiwe deserved what she got yesterday! The writing has been on the wall for a very long time that Khethiwe should not be with Dumisani as he is very abusive and is just not the right guy for him… or any other woman for that matter. So maybe in her being hit, she will wake up and leave Dumisani!

Morninggggg,

Before we were told about what the tabloids said about mamRuby I thought to myself, maybe the reviews read: “Kenneth with big mamma at the awards ceremony”
Or Kenneth Mashaba with a lady wearing a flea market dress or “ Kenneth with Miss Fats”, but never did I think that they would say Kenneth with a shebeen queen who is loud and full bodied, shem Ruby after praising them so much mara!!!! Keneth rounded it off by saying he doesn’t want to be a shebeen king.

Eish this Shaz is very confused she tells Sam that she needs time, but she goes ahead and kisses him and says Old habits die hard , meaning she needed some Sam yum-yum.

Khethiwe couldn’t help but remember gogo’s words when she told her that she is a ‘makipita’ girl don’t ask me what that means, but I gather it means that she is a woman who goes and lives with her boss under the famous” vat en sit” rule.

Hello everyone, I hope I find you well on this Casual Day.

As I was watching Our Soapie last night, I actually missed Khethiwe! I know this may sound strange to a lot of you as you had started to hate her and you were sick and tired of her bandage but I actually do miss seeing her on the screen.

I hope she is enjoying her maternity leave and that she will be back on our screens soon so we can see how she is going to handle Khaphela and Dumisani.

What is wrong with Mapholoba talking about Khethiwe every chance he gets? Chasing away the beautiful Tseki all because of the woman who is not even his ex girlfriend. And Khaphela is so in love with the woman I think he should give her a call and ask her out again and this time he must not say a word about Khethiwe. I think they are so good together if Tseki can give her a chance she is so calm and decent as well.

As we had guessed yesterday, Khethiwe has asked Ace to help her run away. I think Khethiwe made her mind up when she heard Karabo and Dumisani talking about her in their office and Dumisanii told Karabo that he does not want to marry Khethiwe. There seems to be nothing left for Khethiwe now; her family does not like her, she does not want Khaphela and Dumisanii does not want her. So now she has decided to run away. Where she is going, I have no idea! I think this is how they are going to get her out of Our Soapie for a bit as she attends to her real life pregnancy. Who knows, maybe we may not see Khethiwe again and if she does come back, I hope she will not have those bandages anymore.

What drama last night! Gogo has decided to take matters into her own hands. She invited Khaphela over so that she could tell Khethiwe that she has already arranged for the two families to start negotiating lobola. Khethiwe was not happy with this at all and she started shouting at Gogo and telling Khaphela that she does not love him and instead she loves Dumisani and is going to marry Dumisani. Gogo had enough of this and she slapped Khethiwe on the face where her scars are. I was in total shock! I could not believe that Gogo would do such a thing.

I know a long time ago (maybe not even that long ago), in certain cultures the girls had no choice but to marry the guy their family had chosen for them. But this is now, do you feel that these customs should still be there today? What makes it worse in Khethiwe’s case is that she does not love the person she is meant to be marrying. I recall Ntombi was in a similar situation when she wanted to marry Dlomo and her family did not want her to. But in the end the decided that their daughters happiness is the most important thing.

If I were Khethiwe I would just give up on Dumisani right now! The guy is not worth all the trouble. Last night Khethiwe went to Dumisani’s house to ask him about her proposal to him and Dumisani told Khethiwe that he does not want to marry her because it will break up Khethiwe’s family. Then Khethiwe went on to say that is he just using the whole family reason as an excuse. I think Dumisani is, and he said it, that he was married to Bridgette and it just complicated his life. I do not understand men at times, they say they love a woman but then when it comes to marriage they get cold feet. Leave Dumisani alone Khethi and rather focus on Sba

Please do not forget that tonights episode will be showing at 19:00 and not 20:00 due to the soccer.

I was in shock on Friday when Khethiwe asked Dumisani to marry her! I have not seen a woman proposing to a man before! I am sure the only reason Khethiwe proposed was so that if Dumisani marries her, it wil stop Khaphela from marrying her. And now Gogo has asked Ntombi to speak to Khethiwe so that she can influence Khethiwe so that she accepts to marry Khaphela.

The drama never stops on Our Soapie! Last night, Khaphela, Khethiwe and Gogo went out for dinner and Khaphela finally had the courage to tell Khethiwe how he feels about her and that he loves her. I thought it was just going to stop there but Khaphela went a step further and asked Khethiwe to marry him. I was in just as much shock as Khethiwe. Then we saw the smile on uGogo’s face! That was funny. Now we just have to wait and see if Khethiwe accepts Khaphela’s proposal. Atleast Khaphela has finally told Khethiwe how he feels, it is a huge weight off his chest.
