Apologies first to Monday World readers, that your favourite online newspaper is only making its way to your desktop today. :-) Today we probe into love and relationships and we wonder how people make relationships work. We also have a word on some radio and TV shows.
On this past Sunday’s papers, we came across Judith Sephuma’s husband who is just clearly not too happy about the time that Sis’Judy spends with her ex, Selaelo Selota. According to the paper’s source, the man just doesn’t get how a man can be so close to his ex. I guess the concern is, if they were once so close that they made three children, what would prevent them from exploring the closeness when they are in India and it’s not like there’s anyone to check on them? So bloggers, is it really possible to work closely with an ex and make sure the lines are not blurred? Or does it really just depend on how strong the current relationship is?
Then you come across two people who claim they totally love each other – they have been at it, broke it, then at it again, with a child, then now they have broken it again. I’m talking about Ruri’s parents – Touch le Thuli. Shem, if the quotes in the Sunday paper are anything to go by, the breakup seems to have hit Akon’s half brother quite badly. He’s quoted saying something like, “
I loved that woman” and I could almost hear his voice in that statement. Shem.
Breakups are never good. Some people hate goodbyes, and i think breakups are some kind of deeper goodbye. When youbreakup it’s like you are saying... “
look, we could’ve spent a lifetime together, but let’s drop all the expectations, stop pretending and just act like we were never close.” #sad
Especially when there’s shortly going to be other people – like Sis’Judy’s hubby – who will get hurt and annoyed whenever you even come close to acting like you are close.
Which then brings me to the Ranthumeng vs Pheko situation in Muvhango. Poor Ranthumeng has to deal with the fact that his wife is in love with another man – I pray to God that I never make my husband feel that way.
Anyway, the point Im concerned about is Ranthumeng’s reaction to all this. Does being grumpy and acting jealous actually heal the situation or does it just make it worse? Nna I would imagine that when a man finds himself in a situation like that the best thing would be to act proper, stable and win his woman back. Or maybe Im just a hopeless romantic, but I think this is the time Ranthu should be surprising Thandaza with impromptu lunches in the office , buying her roses just because it’s Tuesday, washing her feet and speaking to her in the calmest voice – not screaming and throwing things around coz for me that just paints a picture of instability and a low self-confidence – which will just drive the woman further away. I think.
Talking about being driven away.... what was that guy’s name who used to do the MetroFM morning show, 6-9? Shem, I can’t even remember his name – Whoever made the decision to terminate his contract was surely led by the Holy Spirit. Lol. Tjo! The Avenue crew is doing a great job now – we give credit where credit is due. They are still just as hot as they were in the afternoons – it’s just that you can almost hear that Glen is not exactly a morning person – he’s half asleep until just after 8’oclock. True story. Lol
I have also had the chance to listen to The Touch Down (Tbo Touch, 3-6 Metro) and I must say I am a bit impressed. I was a little worried when this was announced that it is going be a strictly hiphop with swag included situation but it is somehow swallowable; in fact more swallowable than DjSbu’s excuse of a show on Saturdays. It is nothing else just noise! I listened to that show several several times and the only words I ever heard were “DjSbu”, “Vandals” and “Twitter” – very little content. They are just ghubhuluzing all the way – Or maybe the whole show is an advert. heheh
Talking about ghubhuluzing, Monday World is happy to report that we have had a word with TDC and he confirms that
the next TVSA party will be on the 4th June 2011. So make all preparations, clear you diaries – more info will follow as we count down to 04.06.TVSA.
"Ex
pect something different". The party will be at a leisure resort." says TDC.
Maybe while we are at it we might just wind up talking about how to improve certain TV shows - or perhaps take a bloggers' shot'left and show Johnny Clegg and Desmond Tutu how this is done. What bra'Johnny is doing on that show is just totally disappointing - and the polyphonic Zulu that he throws in is also not helping much. Just like the purple robe isnt helping the Bishop . I just wonder if there are people who lahv these shows and who cant wait to see the next episode. Or are they just those things that you end up watching coz you happen to be in front of the Tv with nothing else to do and nothing else to watch.
Heheheheh
