Hi, my favourite people
The focal point of my title was brought reading a publication from a magazine that was referring to a couple like Caiphus Semenya and Letta Mbuli's 40th marriage anniversary. Dad Caiphus is also shown celebrating his 70th birthday. What a blessing, to reach that age having brought up your kids with the love of your life. I envy such couples.
His wife describes him as a loving husband, a hard working artist, a producer, a business partner and a loving father. Caiphus, at his age is still embarking on projects that will be beneficial to our African nation. He indicated that they have established an academy and are launching it sometimes in November. The academy will be used to develop children at their early ages on dances and music.
They will be focusing on dances from different cultures. The aim of the academy is also to promote our cultural heritage.
My view point on their ever lasting marriage, the real "till death do us part", is the fact that Papa Caiphus loves his wife, a provider to his family and Mama Letta in turn, automatically becomes submissive to her husband. Guys, I wish that all fathers could be like Papa Caiphus. Fathers out there are no longer loving to their children, families are broken , children resort to crime because of absent fathers.
To all my male colleagues, I'm hoping your families are referring to you as 'loving husbands and fathers'. And what's your take in this?
Chao now

Hi there!
ReplyDeleteFortunately I happen to listen to Metro FM interview of Caiphus Semenya & Letta Mbulu, I also envy their union, which is what our dysfunctional society yearns for. Marriage is a communal union that needs collaborative participation for it to be perennial.
Not to sound chauvenistic, I see you put more emphasis on Fathers. At times when things go wrong, that gives one the opportunity to introspect because one might be or have direct influence on the way things are in one's life. What prompt fathers to leave their families that they established? What makes Fathers to leave their "warm" families in big houses to live in one-roomed shacks? Why are Fathers not comfortable to spent time in the house that they so excruciatingly pay for? What are Mothers doing that repel Fathers from their families? Why would a man binge or drink before going home to a "loving wife"?
There is a tendency by most women to treat marriage as the Summit - end of the road, thus neglecting themselves (appearance), sextertaining their partners, and being monitors rathers partners. Couples should not compete but complement each other for a sustainable marriage.
Let us work collectively, as men and women, together towards re-establishing solid and united family units aimed at creating a conducive environment for child rearing. Blaming each other will exacerbate or lead to extended misery and mayhem... That's my take.
They are such a special couple.They are dignified I always admire them.The academy is excellent for our children.
