"#LovesYouButWontMarryYou. This is a strategy set by black people to avoid having families because families require obedient people. It's a standard set for people who don't want a designed principled relationship because they still want to be little boys and girls at age 35 - 65."

"I’ll speak for myself, I ended my relationship with a lady I wanted to marry because we both realised that we simply won’t afford marriage, especially because we’re black. I have a struggling business and have debt, I can’t dream of affording lobola and everything else."

In other Briefly.co.za news, there's a lot of hype around Valentine's Day and what comes with the hype is many expectations. A woman called Maphindy fell far short of these expectations after she forwarded a message to her bae on the special day as opposed to writing something sweet and original.
In a screenshot of the convo shared by @uKhayegema, Maphindy forwards her bae a Valentine's Day text which she received from someone else, but he obviously would have appreciated something original, judging by his response:
"Really Maphindy? A fowarded text?" he wrote.
