Man advises married people

Bakhe explained that he does not believe money is an indicator of what a man can provide. He said that even without money, he was still providing, offering a vision. Bakhe pointed out that his wife currently wakes up whenever she wants to because she has the freedom to rest. He insisted that he is not encouraging women to date unemployed people without ambition, but that out-earning the other does not mean you are working harder. He also said that the definition of a man being one who makes the most money is a shallow one. Watch the video of the man below:

SA debates man

Many women responded to the man's video to disagree with his point. Some said if they were out earning their husbands by more than R50,000, they would not be married.

@BlaqSabali commented:

"Men have fragile egos and having a shaky financial standing in comparison to their partner emasculates them. Not all men can stomach such reality."

"Marriage is from the one who started it and that's God...but let the guy pass his peace of mind too shem."

@Nomps_Noks agreed:

"I generally don’t trust Bakhe’s credibility, but he’s not lying. God forbid my husband were to lose his income, I’d pick up the slack gracefully because he’s been committed to financially providing for me since the day we got married without fail."
