“She’s a Girlfriend”: SA Reacts to Makoti Taking 10 Years to Visit In-Laws’ Home

• A makoti told TikTok users that after 10 years, she finally visited her husband's parents' Eastern Cape home
• As they entered the premises, the woman comically laughed and asked people to wish her much strength
• While some social media users found her reaction funny, others thought it was strange that she took so long to visit

After marriage, people often embrace their in-laws as part of an extended family, building new bonds, sharing experiences, and taking in the family's culture. However, for one makoti, it took an entire decade before she finally visited her husband's parents at their home.

Welcome to the family

Zella Sobashe, who uses the handle @zeesobashe, shared a video on TikTok telling people she visited her in-laws at their home in Vaalbank, Eastern Cape, for the first time in 10 years.

"I'm shocked. Maybe she's a girlfriend."

"That's a lekker life."
