  Guys! It looks like I'm the only one worried about the growth of the MK Party. It is growing exponentially. It has attracted leaders of great calibre. Majority of these new leaders migrating from the EFF. Some of them very instrumental in the formation of the red sea political party. And more South Africans seem to be gravitating towards the MK Party.  Why aren't you all worried fam?  Guys, you have to remember the founder and president of this party, former president Jacob Zuma, it's no secrete that he isn't fond of our community. That is a well documented fact. Google that and you'll find a few articles written on this.

It had always been between a couple with the age difference.  An older teen was mostly seen as the provider. And the younger one was always treated as if a queen. She was protected from harm and showered with gifts.  For instance, if the young teen were to be involved in an argument during the day in school and the mean girls challenge her on a fist fight after school, the older teen would step in and protect her.  another example would be when the parents of the older teen have went to town and brought som...
