So there I was izolo visiting a friend After a stressful day at work, when i get there i found my friend tired as hell after being busy with house chores since kusile. and a thought hit us.....why dont we get drunk-high-stoned-peop dronk-sloshed. and then we went to buy weed, ciggerettes and a few ngudu's ze hansa nama simbachips ne biltong and then we watched a Movie Hangover. after an hour watching the movie drinking and smoking..we were so high/drunk we were up there in the skies because we even forgot about the movie and started talking up udodi nje. i must say i really enjoed every minute of it i even went to bed way after midnight, thank God I still managed to wake up fresh in the morning to go to work.
so that got me thinking How much I love my life elokshini. I thought i about a couple of times before ukuthi if i were given the chance to move to ema Surburbs, emaflethini, or kuma town houses would i Go there....and my answer always has and always will be NO. I just love i life yase kasi for me to move to Posh surburbs would just be torture....yes torture imagine sleeping on a saturday night or when you go outside for the maslapi cigarette and all you hear is Dogs barking...qabanga jo. I want to hear what i am used to hearing....cars driving by with the music banging strong, people walking on the streets poep dronk, some random girl screaming nje, that rand gun shot or ama khrikethi(u never know). all in all i like hearing all these sounds that remind me ukuthi i should not be sleeping izintanga zami zi heva i fun out there.
why do I love Ikasi lami?. well its simple...ekasi we get to buy ibhiya very cheap R8.00 for ingudu where as edrobheni you pay i R15 for i dumpie, for R20 ekasi you can buy i kota ye R7 ne litha ye coldrink R8 nama loose draw ayi 3 ne chappies edrobheni ungadla ini nge R20?? maybe i pie. elokshini you get to walk around at night kube ngathi use paris ngoba people are still walking around ngathi its still 12 midday. edrobheni kuthule kuthe tu estradeni by 6 oclock entambama.
ekasi you just go visit your neighbour withou making an appointment, emaflethini i must be buzzed in if ngiyafuneka, buzzed out if they dont want to see me(too much privacy) nowonder abantu bafa baze babole emaflethini. I also love the fact that everything you want to buy itholakala eduzani..if you dont get it at joe's spaza shop you just go to emashop kandlovu. and remember while walking to the shops you see people, you talk to people, you get your latest on umgosi wase kasi. you see amathende and ask who ever ohlangana naye ukuthi whats happening at that house..elani leliyathende....in a nut shell ekasi you get to be updated with the happenings of your sorroundings. Bfwethu ziyakhipha ekasi like it or not. the only reason i go to edrobheni is because i work there...apart from that...we have everything ekasi, we have malls, we have upmarket longes and pubs, we have sports grounds, we speak the lingo, we have all types of characters i mean we even have abelungu living there now. on a sunday..tsho tsho tsho uzobona how diverse we are uzobona amazion, abomzet, izangoma, abaprofethi, izidakwa. we have abosbari elokshini servicing our shoes for way less than multiserve would have charged us.kumnandi ekasi.
whats your take on ikasi lakho?
do you still live ekasi?
why did you move out of ikas'lakho?
