Chapter 27–🍁🧡

Rewatching Sarafina again tonight 🙏🏿🇿🇦

Emsebenzini they call me iFreedom fighter and joked that they purposely made sure that I get the day off today 😭😭but I genuinely am so passionate about certain things.

This day is one of the days that make me so emotional as a South African. Like, there were KIDS fighting for basic human rights such as equality, being taught education in their home languages… Like? How is that even something you need to fight for ???💔🇿🇦

June 16, 1976. Just 50 years ago. May we NEVER forget ♥️🇿🇦✊🏿

In #ThePolygamist , the shared use of the red colour palette linking Matipa's wedding attire and Essie is highly symbolic. Costume design in this show deliberately contrasts color psychology to reflect character motivations, specifically juxtaposing Joyce's strict, pristine white wardrobe with the striking reds of the other women. Red is a direct visual invasion of Joyce's curated all-white aesthetic domain. By wearing red, both Essie and Matipa brand themselves as disruptors. They are refusing to be hidden 'secret women" and are demanding visibility passion, and their own share of the Gomora throne. In colour theory, red is a universal alarm for danger and blood. Linking Matipa and Essie through this colour highlights the high stakes of entering Jonasi's polygamist dynamic. It foreshadows the structural collapse of the family and the physical, explosive consequences (like the fire) that their presence brings into the household. Traditionally, the "woman in red" is stereotyped as the home-wrecker or the forbidden mistress. However, The Polygamist subverts this. The red attire symbolizes their raw, uninhibited desire, ambition, and refusal to play the quiet victim. They wear their desires loudly, demanding the intellectual partnership and lifestyle they believe they deserve. Red symbolizes sacrifice and "life- blood". Matipa choosing a red wedding theme signifies that her entrance into this marriage isn't built on peace, but on an ongoing corporate and marital war. Both she and Essie are tied by the reality that loving Jonasi requires bleeding out a part of their own peace. The shared colour palette serves as a warning that while Joyce tries to keep everything looking perfectly sterile and white, the passionate, dangerous reality of Jonasi's choices is painted completely in red. #NetfixPolygamist

Zimbabwean author Sue Nyathi is finally receiving her flowers. Thirteen years after publishing The Polygamist, the acclaimed novel has been adapted into a 22-episode supernovela that premiered on Netflix on June...

The growth and the brilliance of South African television! Wow, I’m really impressed mahn. Props to the entire industry. The talent is next level 🔥🔥💐💐💐

i’m at spaan talking to anyone who’s willing to listen about Jonasi

So there’s no original experience emhlabeni😭

Having a married “boyfriend” and calling Jonas horrible on the internet? Cognitive dissonance you will always be famous 😭❤️

You’ve seen #ThePolygamist and saw how Jonasi went out… just know, that is not just TV drama, it is real life consequences. Multiple partners without protection increase your risk of STIs and HIV. Ignoring treatment does not make it go away, it makes it worse. Knowing your status is power. Using protection is responsibility. Taking your treatment is survival. If you stopped treatment, come back, reinitiate and stay on it to achieve an undetectable viral load. This means living a healthier life with zero risk of passing HIV on to others. Remember, prevention options such as PrEP and Lenacapavir can help protect against HIV, but condoms are still essential to protect against STIs like gonorrhoea, syphilis, herpes, chlamydia and more, as well as unwanted pregnancies.
