Green Thumb

I think the first track I heard ko LeClub was by Jeru da Damaja, and it went:

I'm not talking about the young ladies, but the bitches and the bitches.

Today in a teksi (taxi), I heard a priest preach (over the radio) in isiZulu, and he said (translated into SeTswana, isiZulu is tough for me to write)

Sefebe hase batle go jola, se batla monna o na leng mosadi.  Sefebe sa itse gore monna o na leng mosadi, o itse go thlokomela mosadi.

Oh, he went on to say, some other ish, which i'd be extremely paraphrasing.

  1. Question: is the implication here that banna ba siameng are in fact vulnerable to bofebe? And is the solution then to be monna o tlhokang tshiamo?

  2. Unpacking this concept of "bofebe". This priest's sermon implies that "bofebe" is a one-hit campaign. But go feba by its very nature is a plural-hitting campaign. One would assume that a sefebe is named as such because s/he would continue this cycle of behaviour.
    I do like cacti though.

  3. LOL! - Yes UguJaz - "banna ba siameng are in fact vulnerable to bofebe" - like Chris Rock said that - when your female friends see your new hot man - they say i want him.

    when guys see your new hot chick - they say i want a chick like that. Nowadays women dont wait for guys to make the first move and its quiet hard saying no to that.

  4. well as a guy.

  5. Nah, the priest, was breaking down how once a man is married, a said Sefebe, would pursue him, and probably please him more than his own wife, in all manners of pleasing.

    His monologue was not about Bofebe, but rather, marriage and how a man and woman who are married, need to keep the fire 'burning',instead of the man (and woman) looking for flickers elsewhere, of which they will find.
