I told my mom about Marinus.
They were both very shocked. It was 2001 and everyone had 3 years to sort themselves out
There was however one person who was not happy with the latest developments - farmer cousin from #Marikana ...
Who was the BLACK female medical student? Take a wild guess?!

Farmer cousin from #Marikana : 😶
Marinus and Paul left Haarties in peace 😊
Marinus was indeed cut off farmer cousin's family tree.
There was a big family event from that branch of the tree. The brothers caucused and agreed that their mother had to go but they weren't going in support of their brother Marinus ❤
There is always high drama with my credit card. 😞
Do that to me and this is what you get 📷
I was going to a baby shower and needed a gift. I pop into Woolies. I'm with Mmatsie. Get to the till, hand over my purchase and my card. I'm busy chatting to Mmatsie...
Ngahlanya.
Till operator: *looks at manager"
Manager: ma'am can I see your ... *I didn't let him finish*
Me: *to till operator* sisi I am VERY disappointed in you. Why didn't you ask for my ID? Why didn't you just ask???
Me: I AM NOT TALKING TO YOU. I AM TALKING TO HER *points finger at till operator*
I took out my ID. I took out a small photo of Marinus and I. And I just wouldn't stop shouting. I kept asking her why she hadn't just asked me for my ID. She was silent 😞
I stopped dead in my tracks.
Her surname was an English surname - same Whatsapp group as Adams and Williams.
I went back 😡
Till operator: yes
Me: 📷 *don't really want to share what I said because that was the old me*
I got to the till. Gave her the paper and my credit card.
Delay. So I ask "Mama is there a problem?" She says no. Next thing The Manager arrives.
"Excuse me ma'am can I see your ID?"
Me to till operator: Mama ngemphela? Ubize u-manager wakho for i-Sunday Times. Why didn't you ask for my ID? Why?
Manager: ma'am excuse me. Excuse me.
Me: LEAVE ME ALONE
Me to till operator: just tell me ... why would I steal someone's credit card for a newspaper?!?
Me: I AM COMING BACK
I stormed out of the Super Spar. The tears had arrived. They're always on stand-by as you now know. I went to the car and told Marinus the story. I asked him to come and sort The Manager out. Back into Super Spar we went
"Sir I can explain. I can explain Sir"
Me: EXPLAIN!!!
Manager: ma'am you're causing a scene in my store
Me: @&¿§¦^>&\\±\¿¡&}[±
Manager: Sir we have a policy when it comes to credit cards
Marinus: make this better
Marinus: just make this better RIGHT NOW
Me: I'm NOT swiping my card
Manager: you can have the paper for free
Me: hope you have learnt your lesson mnxm
I went back to the till operator and I told her that she should NEVER do that again without asking for ID
