You pay lobola then you feel you're no longer in love but what about my lobola? That is an aspect that should be discusses more as its not cheap n the wedding itself is also not cheap.
In America during slavery if you were of mixed race you were given some privileges black slaves would never dare to even dream about and therefore light skin was a great privilege. Many black women were raped by white en-slavers and gave birth to the so-called "colored" children and as time went by there many light skin black people because of the use of skin lightening cosmetics and hair straightening product etc. and this led to the term "colored people" for all black slaves. This is in most cases very similar to the apartheid South African situation of racial classification used for divide and conquer in that the Abatwa leaving in the Western Cape in the 1600 were the first to be attacked killed an raped by Dutch white people of Jan Van Riebieck and the off springs from atrocities were, as times went by, labeled "Colored". Later in the 1800 these atrocities continued to the interior, central, north and Eastern Cape. In the 1900s when black South Africans were defeated and ere forced or uprooted from their ancestral land. Various laws were passed to make go and work for whites in the cities and mines earning dehumanizing wages and this created a lot of poverty and overcrowding in the townships and mines. Many black people, because of being "colored" privileges started interacting, marrying and forging status as "coloreds", more especially in the Western cape, Transvaal, etc. Later you found black skin "coloreds" and white skin "coloreds". In conclusion, the post apartheid South Africa the ANC government knows about this problem and the colored people also know about all the privileges they enjoyed under apartheid but now the wheels have turned. It is easy for those black skin "colored" people to escape and jump back to their original race groups and called Africans, but difficult for the light skinned ones. The of cultural identity, language and customs the "dark skin coloreds" raises some very interesting questions: "what indigenous African language they speak, "Afrikaans" in not. "What are their indigenous African customs, Christianity/Islam is not?". ETC. For white skin "coloreds" the problem is a very complicated one: "Can they now identify themselves as indigenous black African or indigenous white African (If there's such a thing?) The term "colored" in America was banned and replaced with "Black American" and/or "Afro American" And maybe the best term to use now in South Africa is: "Black Indigenous African"; "Colored African", and "White African" Or, otherwise we just call ourselves AFRICANS!!!???
i live in the usa; and the way Gogo Ndlanzi spoke so affirmed, about spirituality is direct from the Spirit Realm; I wish she had more time to go in-depth. Would love to hear more of her wisdom…it really adjusted my view; in this particular interview. i love, appreciate, and give thanks for this conversation. <3
Yoh ayi what an uncomfortable feeling watching the 2nd part of the episode on coloured /mixed race topic. Even the panel itself has such different takes and diverse views. It is just so broad that I feel it shouldn't have been given such a small segment. I think we need a different panel with more varieties or different takes on what it really means being coloured and whether mixed race fits into that same culture and yes there are many stereotypes around coloureds. Really think an episode is needed for this. Watching this segment was just uncomfortable and it shouldn't be because we should just be and feel united as South Africans and we not.
I hope Anele one day very soon you will also invite Afrika Mhlophe – the author of " Freed by God but imprisoned by culture". Let's get all sides to make informed decisions as the people.
For me, all I know is that I am spirit filled Christian woman who is proud to be Xhosa, an African and I am no less of an African because I of my beliefs.
For a matter of fact I am so privileged that through the blood of Jesus – my sins have been forgiven and my rightful place as a co-heir has been restored. I can now talk to God directly anytime and any how I want to for His my Creator – I don't need no one to open the path or gate for me, just as God intended when He created me in His image, His very own likeness and breathe in life into me and when He was done He said " I, me – was good".
Ps I am also very relieved that I don't have to experience the burden in the future of expecting my uncle when he is dead to suddenly become one of the people who opens the way or whatever it is called and the though of having to go through him to ask for things when I know when he was alive our childhood memories of him were very bad. From him stealing our Christmas clothes to sell to buy alcohol and on christmas day us having to wore old clothes whilst all our friends had new ones and him sexually abusing my little cousins as he was exposing himself to them and making them to touch him. Thank God, God Freed me from that – it would be a hard pill to swallow to think that when he dies, he suddenly becomes a saint ??? uuhhh bhatata ??. Can you imagine him telling us he is cold from the grave, we would be expecting to buy a cow or something – how expensive is that ? worse he has never even given us even a chappies – ????u hayi cha – Next !!!!!
any way thank God who teaches forgiveness and through His grace we are able to forgive but forgiveness does mean you forget , however forgiveness is a choice you make and we have made that choice to forgive him by God's grace
I like this explanation for Portia's dream because a friend said to me, dreaming of the dead is the presence of the spirit of death and as such shouldn't happen…haibo!

Thank you Gogo???
I am so glad to see you back ?
Charles Is true, most " coloured" people are scared of the ancestry of people Black people , only a potion of coloured people have Khoisan ancestry…
I wish the new Host was this connected and relaxed
No one else in the world!!! Recognises the term coloured
Gogo explained it so well!!! Been feeling this way for a while. Christianity is not our culture
