Thandolwethu's pov:
"Princess hurry up,it's getting late" I shout from the lounge
"But daddy,I have to put all my dolls in the car!" she shouts back from her bedroom
"I'm giving you 5 minutes and then I'm leaving you behind" I shout back and I wait for her in the car.A few minutes later she hops in with more than 10 toys. I look at her amazed.
"Daddy let's go,we don't have much time" she says looking so cute and beautiful at the same time. Ayi madoda,my creation. I drive off to Sandton City Mall where her spelling bee will be taking place. As soon as I park she jumps out and opens my door for me. I laugh,this child.
"Let's go then smarty pants" I say still laughing. She suddenly becomes quiet. That's unlike her.
"Don't worry princess you'll do great" I say. She smiles and nods. We get to the Book Store and go to our reserved seats. It's finally her turn,I kissed her chubby cheeks and her forehead and off she went to the front.
After 2 hours the judges have to decide the winners.
"In 3rd place Okuhle Majola. Let's give him a round of applause" says Ms Smith,the MC
The audience applaud.
"In 2nd place Snothando Sangweni. Round of applause please" the audience applauses and I stand up and shout "That's my princess" the other parents laugh and my baby smiles widely. I'm proud of her. There's nothing that makes a parent happy than seeing their children happy.
"And in first place Lindiwe Zulu. Congratulations Lindi" Ms Smith says
We go take pictures and the program ends. She got a prize. A gift card of R250 at the Book Store. I take her shopping for some clothes and toys. Some people stop and ask for a picture with us and well sometimes it's annoying. I just want to spend time with my daughter but my bodyguards got it covered.
"I'm so glad we're done shopping because I am famished" she says and I laugh
"Ayibo Princess where did you learn such a big word?" I say while still laughing my ass off.
"Dad I came second in the spelling bee and next time I'll come first,what did you expect?" she says smiling from ear to ear. Gosh she's just as arrogant as daddy.
We finally decide to eat at Wimpy and then make our way home. We have to go back to Durban before it gets too late. We get home and Aus'Lolo has cooked dinner and it smells absolutely divine. Aus'Lolo is my helper. She is in her mid 40's.
We greet her and sit down to eat while conversing and laughing throughout. Halfway through our meal Snothando falls asleep on the table. We laugh and I take her to bed while Aus'Lolo cleans up. I put her in her pyjamas and tuck her in her bed. I watch her for a few minutes admiring this sight infront of me and then kiss her forehead and head out.
I am Thandolwethu Sangweni. I am a music producer,an influencer,a Youtuber and I'm 25. I'm a single parent. Well my love life is complicated but I have a big family. Sit back and chill as I take you through my journey of life.
