I’ve been trying to catch up with Generations over these past few days and I finally managed to, just had to air my views on Kenneth’s treatment of his wife, Dineo.
Caught with your pants down!In my understanding, Dineo had an affair with Thomas Mashaba aka Mazzie, the man she was really inlove with, who just so happened to be the son of her husband, hectic!
Lesson 1 Dinny, never ever have an affair with a family member, it’s bound to come out sooner or later.
Naturally when Kenny found out, he was livid, he threw them both out of the mansion and they had to fend for themselves, tough cookies when everything has been handed to you on a silver platter.
So the relationship didn’t work out, Thomas packed his bags and hit the road. Poor Dinny had to fend for herself, scraping the bottom of the barrel is not an easy thing you know. As time went on, she realized what she had lost in Kenny and decided to win back his favour.
Winning back my husbandWell as luck would have it, Kenny was feeling as lonely as Dineo. I actually missed the part where they got back together but yep they decided not to sell when Dinny went crying on his shoulders, one thing led to another and before we knew it, Dinny was back in the mansion, having her cake and eating it too.
Once she was back, Dineo thought everything was gonna be moonshine and roses but she was wrong. Oh forgot to mention, Dinny didn’t only worm her way back into Kenny’s house but she managed to get her job at Mashaba Women back as well, you go girl!
A sham of a marriageDinny was under the impression that Kenny had forgiven and forgotten and everything will be back to normal. However, Kenny had other ideas about his wife and how she will be treated in future.
To say he was lukewarm towards her when she initiated sex is an understatement, he was positively chilly. Then the comments came, sarcastic remarks, him undermining her, making her look and feel stupid and useless, she had to learn to cook and he refused to give her any praise for any of her efforts be it in the bedroom or the boardroom.
Kenny treated Dineo as his personal plaything to be taunted and tormented for his own amusement.
It’s been difficult for Dineo trying to impress her husband, his cutting remarks will leave any woman with emotional scars, is this the price of living the ultimate lifestyle?
The fact that Kenny keeps ripping her to shreds, throwing Grace in her face, how Grace is the future of Mashaba Media, the start of building his empire, how he refuse to give her credit for the wedding issue of the latest Sista magazine, on and on it goes.
Kenneth’s latest stunt is the main reason I decided to write this article. He has asked Ace to install hidden cameras in his house to watch Dinny’s comings and goings.
In last night’s episode we saw Kenny sitting with his laptop scanning every room in the house making sure that all the cameras are in place, Dinny will never have a private moment to herself, at least not in her house.
Personally I don’t think any woman deserves to be treated the way Kenny is treating Dineo, some might say she deserves it for sleeping with his son, but in the same breath, it was Kenny’s decision to take her back. Does any woman really deserve to be emotionally and mentally abused like this?
So she made a mistake, she had an extra-marital affair but her husband forgave her or so she thought, he resents her for making him look like the ultimate fool, is this his way of punishing her, making her a slave to him?
What do you think?
