When we are told that those jeans make you look fat, or the dress is too tight for your love handles. When we are told that so and so muhle kani you also thought you were the prettiest in the office. When we are told that so and so ugcoka kahle at work yet you always wearing the latest trends.

When we are told that the girl you don’t like has more money than your family combined. When we are told that your man has another child that you weren’t aware of. When we are told that actually Sipho has girlfriends at least two ka Manzini including a baby mama.

When we are told that she’s still in love with baby daddy and they still do more than raise their child together. When we are told that actually she’s still in love with her ex-boyfriend, even though she’s with you. When we are told that she consults tinyanga for ‘assistance’ lapho anenkinga khona. Or better yet that she actually uses muti herself for all her problems.

Here’s my two cents about the truth and honesty; it’s how you say it and how you actually find out the truth about certain things. When you learn the truth from the source then it’s not really too much to handle; like Sjava told the world we didn’t find out from the tabloids that he uses or rather drinks muti for certain reasons.

If Sipho tells you the truth about his other child it’s much better than hearing about it from the cow, err I mean the other lady.

When he confesses that he was still sleeping with baby mama when you met rather than hearing it form the baby mama is much easier to digest; as hurt as you might be.

When you weigh yourself on the bathroom scale you learn the truth that you actually have gained weight; kwatise we all cheated on our diets in December, so it’s no shocker when someone tells you.

There will always be someone prettier or wealthier than you; the trick is accepting your situation. If it bothers you that much, then do something about it, but hating people for pointing out the truth is just childish.

Again the truth will indeed set you free, and the beauty is if you tell the truth you don’t forget what you said two months ago. Your story doesn’t change and you don’t forget the truth, but emanga are easy to forget!
