Three years ago I got married to a very kind man. We've been together for 6 years, married 3.
I studied social work and couldn't get a job so I went back to study education,I'm now a teacher. I was unemployed all these years and as soon as I got employed I hired my bestfriend's mother. My bestfriend is also unemployed but it wouldn't feel right to have her working for me.
To avoid complicating our friendship we agreed that hiring her mom is a brilliant idea. My husband is an artisan at Transnet so we decided we should pay the mother R5000 because she would be the bread winner.
I am a primary school teacher so I knock off at 1:30 pm so by 2pm I'm already home and my bestfriends mother knocks off. She doesn't cook, I do all the cooking. She does all the other chores. I have been struggling to conceive so the house is always clean since there are no children.
Two months after our house help started, my marriage started being a mess. My husband and I would argue a lot which is new to us. We would go days living in the same house yet not talking.
He even started sleeping in a seperate room. I'd tell my bestfriend all these and she encouraged me to ignore him because he has probably started cheating. She told me never to begg him or even try to be the first one to make peace because he will get worse.
My marriage was falling apart and I could tell that we are slowly heading the divorce route. My husband was now very rude and he stopped eating the food I'd cook. He asked my bestfriend's mom to start cooking and he increased her salary by R1000.
He was no longer giving me any money for anything in the house, only paying my best friend's mother. I could see that they were getting pretty close. He knocked of around 3:30pm and he would drive her home, she didn't even live too far but he preffered driving her home.
My bestfriend started acting weird and distancing herself from me. I thought maybe I was over sharing my problems and she was getting tired of listening to my whining. She fell pregnant and hid it from me. I only found out when she was about to give birth. I confronted her and she told me that she didn't want to make me feel sad because she knows how much I've been trying for a baby.
I then told her that her win is my win and beside my marriage is falling apart so I have no intentions of falling pregnant. I organiseda baby shower for my beloved friend. On the day of the baby shower everyone was offish,they looked at me with pity and guilt eyes. I ignored it.
I was so happy that we were paying her mother enough to even be able to save some of the money. My best friend's mother contributed R7000 and I contributed R4000. Besides everyone acting strange it was a beautiful shower.
Even after my efforts my bestfriend have birth and didn't even bother telling me. I felt like I was now forcing the friendship so I decided to distance myself. I realised that my underwear had been missing bit by bit but I took it lightly.
I moved back home because now my husband was a total stranger and he hardly came home. He was now sleeping out a lot and wouldn't even talk to me. When I got home I fell ill, my mother took me to three different doctors and they all found nothing wrong with me.
I was getting worse so she decided to take me to consult a traditional healer. When I got there I was told that my husband's son's grandmother was trying to get rid of me. I got bored instantly because my husband had no child. I never like Sangoma because I felt like there is never any truth in what they say and here was this Sangoma proving me right once again.
He gave me things to use for bathing, vomiting and sprinkling at my marital home. When we got to the car I told my mom that he was just being crazy so since he is talking about my husband having a son, I will not use any of the muti because my husband had no child.
My mom asked me if it has ever crossed my mind that my husband might have a secret child? She added that most married men do. I paused a bit and laughed. She convinced me to do as I was told and I did.
Although being at my marital home was a lot for me, I managed to sprinkle the muti given and just as I sat down to reminisce,my husband came back and chased me away and I left without a fight I just left. I saw my bestfriends mother looking at me with so much hate. I just got into my car and left.
A month later my bestfriend's mother came to my work place, she knelt infront of me and started apologising. She told me that she stole my underwear and my husband's under wear and used it to make us fight. She said that wanted my life for her daughter. I almost fainted when she told me that my bestfriend has a son with my husband.
She took me to where she had buried our underwear, they were in a black bag, with my wedding picture. In the picture my head was scratched out and replaced with my bestfriend's face. I've attached the pictures and im in pain even today ma.
I tore the pictures and removed the muti and set myself and my husband free. We are now back together, happy again. We live with my bestfriend's son and I am now also expecting a son. I no longer want a house help, I am doing just fine taking care of my own home.
My bestfriend has since ran away from home and we hope she will return one day just for her son's sake. I have however cut her off my life completely she will communicate with my husband about their son. Mina ngi ngrand sharp. But hide my Identity for my bestfriend's son's sake.
