Does height matter in a relationship? Baby shower pictures raise that question #GirlTalkZA

Does the height of a partner matter in a relationship? Are men always supposed to be taller than their partners? 

Well, that is the question that drove Mzansi into overdrive after a couple was seen in widely circulating pictures celebrating their baby shower. 

The lady, who is taller than her partner, can be seen seated on his lap and the two seemed to have been enjoying the moment. 

It raised a lot of questions about the power of height in a relationship. 

"Naturally I think a guy is supposed to be taller than his woman. It looks very odd and embarrassing for a lady to be taller than her partner," said Nosipho Sakala. 

Well, many women do feel embarrassed to be seen with a shorter partner in public. 

The reason is because society is very judgemental when it comes to dating. 

But isn't that supposed to be a decision two people make? 

"While love is between two people, it just doesn't end there. There will always be a third force. So it's not surprising that people now date their partners according to what people will say," said Tatiana. 

The 'abantu bazothini' syndrome has for long been a huge part of South African lives. 

Would you date a shorter man or a taller lady?

There have been widespread rumours of his departure from the show. 

The streetwise character has narrowly escaped death on numerous occasions, but has always managed to come out triumphant in the end.

Whilst on Rhythm City, Mduduzi has also taken supporting roles on other weeknight soapies, such as eTV's Imbewu, causing fans to speculate that he attempted to explore other opportunities away from the show.

We have seen the upcoming alerts and previews of the upcoming episodes of Rhythm City and it seems Suffocate still remains a prominent character with no plans of him being killed off.

So hang on tight, Suffocate is here to stay.

Zindzi Mandela remembered for her #poetry in the Afro Poetry Times October issue #MondayMotivation

Despite coming from a family of revered politicians and being the daughter of the world's most prolific statesman, the late Nelson Mandela, Zindzi was an amazing human being whose life will continue to be celebrated for centuries to come. 

She impacted several lives and influenced society through her marvelous poetry. 

Poetry is well known for its uniqueness and ability to relay a message no other art form can. 

The Afro Poetry Times October edition is celebrating Zindzi and her amazing poetry. 

The Afro Poetry Times is a monthly magazine that celebrates and promotes  African poetry and the literary arts. 

A look into Zindzi's poetry shows how her writing documents the struggle for human dignity fromthe perspective of a young black girl.

Zindzi's poetry anthology Black As I Am opens with A Tree Was Chopped Down , which pays tribute to her father. 

It also explores the effects of growing up in a family whose structure had been bulldozed by the apartheid regime. 

The restoration of the black family structure, heteronormative at the time, was an important aspect of the liberation movement. South Africa's economy was built and continues to exploit parents living away from their homes for economic reasons. 

Under apartheid, influx control worsened the conditions of families because of restrictions on living together in urban centres.

This issue also features several deep thought poetry, interviews and stories about poets that matter.
