Facebook shocker - grieving man receives inbox from mysterious man claiming to be the dad of his late wife's child

A listener on a phone in show on Kaya FM recently shared a deeply troubling experience following the death of his wife. After her passing, he received a message on Facebook from a stranger who claimed that his second-born child was not biologically his. The man alleged that he had an affair with the listener's late wife, which resulted in her pregnancy. According to this stranger, they had kept their relationship hidden out of respect for the listener's marriage.

After some time, the listener confronted the man, who provided evidence of the affair. Feeling profoundly betrayed, he is now seeking guidance on how to navigate this complex situation, especially since he has raised the child as his own.

The listener recounted, "My wife sadly passed away last year after a brief illness. Three months later, I received a message from a man on Facebook claiming my second child wasn't mine and that he was the biological father. I was in shock and chose not to respond initially. As time went on, I found myself looking at my son and questioning whether he truly was mine."

Eventually, he decided to engage with the man. He learned that this individual had previously worked with his wife and that they had been involved romantically. The listener discovered that while his wife confided in this man about her pregnancy, they agreed to keep it secret to protect their marriage. After leaving the company, they lost contact until he reached out upon hearing about her death.

In December, they met face-to-face where the stranger presented proof of their relationship. "This shattered my heart," said the listener. "I will never have answers from my late wife." He has kept this revelation from family and friends while trying to figure out his next steps.

The situation escalated when the man began pressuring him for a relationship with his son, giving him three months to discuss it with family or face legal action.

"I feel disrespected and confused about what to do next," he expressed. "Should I insist on a DNA test first? How do I approach my family? If it turns out he is indeed the father, can co-parenting even work? Should I consult a lawyer for guidance? Am I missing any crucial steps?"

Gugu's eviction from Big Brother Mzansi: A dream come true (sort of)

Gugu Ndabezitha, the 34-year-old traditional healer from Big Brother Mzansi Umlilo, had a premonition. Not of winning, mind you, but of her eviction. Apparently, Smash Afrika, in a bizarre prophetic dream, personally escorted her out of the Big Brother house. Who needs a crystal ball when you've got Smash Afrika's astral projection services?

Gugu, bless her heart, shared this dream with her housemates, who, naturally, interpreted it as a sign of impending victory. The irony is thicker than a Zulu warrior's shield. Her dream was a surprisingly accurate prediction.

Now, four auditions, three rejections, and one month in the house later, Gugu is taking her eviction with the grace of a seasoned yoga instructor. After all, this was only rock bottom – a particularly bouncy rock bottom, apparently equipped with a conveniently placed trampoline. She's soaring now, folks! Soaring! Though perhaps next time, she'll consult a slightly more reliable soothsayer than Smash Afrika in the spirit realm. Perhaps a psychic parrot? The possibilities are endless.

When love lingers, does revealing too much in a relationship destroy it? Celebs weighs in

Love is blind - so they say! 

But love is a beautiful thing and it does make the world go round. Those who've been fortunate to find love, ehhhhhm I mean glow in love🥰, can attest to that. 

While love can be beautiful, does revealing too much about your life destroy it? Many people are afraid of revealing their true selves to their partners as they fear losing them. 

Click, click bang! 

"Sometimes it's not even about your current partner but stems from past relationship experiences," noted Kgomotso Meso. "You might have been told your light was too bright, and now you're uncomfortable expressing yourself the way you'd like."

Yes we listening...

She added, "What I've observed with men is this feeling of not being enough. No matter how much you do, there's always another man who can bring more money or provide more than you."

That definitely is handful. But what do the men have to say about it? 

Renowned comedian Skhumba shared his sentiments on the hot issue. 

"As a man, you sometimes go out of your way to make a woman happy, only to realise it's still not enough. In the process, you neglect yourself trying to meet their expectations."

Ijob yijob but what are the misconceptions that people have about your job? SABC News anchor Mfundo Mabalane reveals hers

There is a popular street lingo which people use to describe their working lifestyles - "ijob yijob", which literally translates to "a job is a job".

You might find this a bit odd or must I say offish..., But society has an array of misconceptions when it comes to a person's job. 

Hold your horses. Many people are of the notion that those who work at distilleries or breweries are always drunk as they are supposedly permitted to drink zingakashayi (before knocking off).

Some people believe that when one works for for an airline, they get a free pass to travel the world. Ziyakhala ke manje. 

Popular SABC News anchor Mfundo Mabalane pointed out that, as a news anchor, people believe she is closer to politicians than she really is. 

"They think you can just dial up any politician and have a chat about anything, but this is not always the case. I think, in most instances, those who build relationships with politicians are reporters, not necessarily news anchors."

What sort of job do you do and what are some of the misconceptions that people have about your job? 

Umjolo wanyisa shame! “I love my girlfriend but I don’t see myself marrying her”

What usually starts off as a simple conversation usually leads to 'feelings that grow'. I'm talking about love here. 

So, a certain brother recently called into a radio show to seek advice. 

Brother man here has been in a relationship with his sweetheart and they have been dating for two years. 

But the problem is that he does not see her as a prospective wife. Umjolo wanyisa shame. He is afraid that time is flying and he is seemingly leading her on. 

Here is his story.... As per his words on radio... Thatha...

"I have been with my girlfriend for over two years now. Things are good, but I don't see myself marrying her. I love her personality, and we enjoy travelling and attending music events. We are in the same career, but despite all these common interests, I don't see myself getting married to her.

"This really bothers me because how can someone make me laugh and be so happy, yet I can't bring myself to see her as my wife? I have been having this internal conflict for some time, trying to understand, but i get no answers.

"I am afraid I am stringing her along, but how do I let her go when I don't know the real issue? Or could the issue be me? I have tried dating two other women while with her to see if my perception would change, but it didn't. But she is my peace and solace. What could be my blind spot here?"

Yeah Neh! Life or love? Umjolo wanyisa strue..

Fikile Mlomo takes it one step at a time

After finding herself in a state of trouble due to health-related issues, it was her devoted fans who came to her rescue – and now gospel singer Fikile Mlomo aims to show appreciation by dedicating her latest upcoming EP in honour of her supporters.
News and entertainment publication Daily Sun reports that the singer found herself hospitalised for three months earlier this year. It was later revealed that she needed financial assistance to help cover the costs of a spinal surgery.
At the time, she took to her social media providing fans with an update on her life.
"With whatever is happening, please know that I am very strong. When you see me looking good it' because I do not want to accept the situation."
With the assistance of her colleague and fellow gospel artist Thinah Zulu, fans helped the singer by donating large sums of money to cover the medical costs.
Speaking to Daily Sun the singer revealed that the donations came in overflow, which was more than enough to cover the costs of the surgery and help her go back to the studio to record the EP.
"This EP is dedicated to thanking my fans. They must brace themselves because the EP is too emotional and I'm bringing back the Fikile they know. I want to thank everyone who contributed to bringing back my life after I was hospitalised. Big thanks to my brother in God, Thinah Zungu."
Furthermore, she highlighted that her latest EP was to be released independently to avoid being exploited by record labels.
