After ten years   across the Limpopo what he brought back home is this: A fruit knife known as okapi The clothes on his back A small radio and the deadly disease that’s doggedly eating him. Delirious mumblings of   a good time in Jozi The delicious Chocolate brown Mzansi thighs. In rare coherent moments he talks of getting stung in between the thighs of   beautiful money squandering Mzansi women In tears mama says he should have come earlier and gotten on the program like the girl next door After ten years Across the Limpopo All he brought is the disease sending him to his grave

When I Brought Her Home by Rinzu Rajan

They called me a domineering dame only because I refused to respect the rule made for a woman a cook, cleaner and baby machine I couldn't have been as Napoleon once wrongly said. Never could I see men as masters or a marriage as mandatory and I didn't mind if that made me rude, arrogant or a vagabond. And in a bid to stand straight in my spine, for unsolicited advice about matrimony was commonplace etched on every inch of the wall around my debris. One May morning she came home that cherub of a creature with a glittering glaze and a sparkling smile they protested at my decision which they say is a folly of an error I chose to change diapers and sing lullabies to a parent-less progeny rather than for the work of my womb why still remains a question perhaps it was my own way of thanking the Almighty for not rejecting me in refusal like her.
