Memoirs of a Zulu Girl


Meeting up with my girls earlier today I decided to ditch my usual laid back student outfits for  a POWER cum HIRE ME NOW outfit; a cobalt blue tailored dress with zipper detail, red leather wedge sandals and gold tiered ear candy, modest make-up and lots of pale pink gloss!! Oh and a black figure belt, yessss I also I have a “figure”, it’s wider but it’s a figure none the less!!

So I’m waiting for my friends to pitch up and this bhuti comes up to me and greets and offers to buy me uphuthu and ubhontshisi...I didn’t even laugh, I politely said ‘no thanks’, he then offered phuthu and imfino...>Ja neh! < I kindly rejected his request yet again with a smile which grew into one of my best laughs today!

I really thought that I looked more like a salad, sushi and pink drink kinda girl today but somehow the Zulu me overtook the à la mode me like a South Beach taxi on a pay day Friday afternoon; forget The Wheel and UShaka Marine, this taxi is going straight to e-renki!!

I am however glad that with all western adornments my Africanism still shines through!  So if you see me dressed to the 9’s and nibbling on igwinya spare me the snobby look, it doesn’t suit you!!

Love&Serve!
