Representation truly matters!! I live in the township. I'm in my early 30s and transitioning through life building comfort for my family while attaining my own goals. I'm living comfortably at home and what's difficult is people who don't "accept the life for you/me"... People get bothered by other's life choices and choosing to live in the township. I've also stopped calling the township, "the hood", language matters too. I have my frustrations with living in the township but the same issues people have in the suburbs - water shedding, targeted crime, loadshedding. It's unfair that we have to constantly defend living in the township. I now speak more about the pros over the cons. All the best with your home building project, brick by brick and layer by layer, may God bless you and your family.
Thank you so much Dee I pray more of us have such mindset of embracing and investing in the township for future generations. I love what you said about words I need to be mindful of that too. Honestly I don’t see myself leaving the township I appreciate the cons so much and also I want to be the difference . I pray that the Lord will bless all your plans and may they come to pass
Hi Joey, I am so impressed how the house is now, it is beautiful, your hard you and your husband , showing in this Vlog 🎉, we appreciate you showing us that we can all things through Christ with me at all times ❤🎉have a very blessed 🙌 Christmas and New year ❤️ 💙, lots of love ❤️ 😍
hey sis you look amazing , love the theme waiting on God, I get what you mean with being an example and living luxury in the township it is possible. You look amazing sis , I have not reflected hey, definetely a nice place to take pictures, I love it. I really love this for you i cant wait for your devotion room , I stay at the burbs because i am scared of standalone house and I always dreamed of waking up to birds chipping and not the noise, ke village girl lol, but the cons of burbs is the rates and taxes and so many rules of estate. the old house also looked so good here, arena di trust funds sesi , I am buying that mat shem, my guest bathroom need love too
Hey Sesi thank you so much. I can’t wait for the devotion room. I get you safety issues and also I love hearing nature. Please get it the mat is so pretty even hubby commented on it
You know I am turning 40 in January and we bought a house in Soweto 10 years ago and because I was young people used to laugh at me ukuthi why am I short changing myself I am still young. It used to hurt me but now I am happy I made a decision to buy in a location because I am able to afford to take my kids to better school. Thank you so much sisi you just received a subbie. We need to meet hle❤❤❤❤❤
And I hate that mindset I wish more people wanted to develop kasi for future generations. I turners 40 this year happy birthday in advance. Honestly we had hard seasons that I know that if we were in the burbs we old not have survived
Really enjoyed this vlog and the lessons. Your home is so beautiful even in it's unfinished stage. May the Lord continue to bless you and your family ❤
Hey love… Your outlook on not having or needing to please others is admirable. The fact that you choose to stay in the Township to be inspirational to the youth is amazing. “I’m just a wife”…. I’m going to start saying that to my husband & others.🤭 Your home is going to be absolutely beautiful. I can’t wait to come visit.. I have a luxury place to stay in. 🫣🩷 I love your husbands outlook on his journey as well. And that he would do it again. It shows growth. But I also am I like you, I want a soft easy life! JOEY, it’s been a pleasure looking into your world for this short period of time. You and your family are so cute and I look forward to spending 2025 with you. I wish you and your family a very happy, safe & blessed Christmas & New Year.🩷🩷🩷🩷
Hey love lol we are just wives they must not stress us with other things. Thank you so much . It has been such a pleasure getting to know you and your lovely family. Looking forward to the new year 😍
Hey sis❤ Thank you for sharing the encouraging words 🙏🏾 The house is beautiful, you are getting closer to finishing and will be back at your house soon. My main reason for staying outside the township is safety, especially living alone as a woman, but I know that it’s definitely cheaper to buy in the township. The noise and inconsiderate people is also another challenge in the townhouse yhooo!
I'm with you Boni. It was also the safety for me. But I don't think there's anything wrong with living in the township. You can make your space be as beautiful and comfortable as you want. As for the noise, it can still be there in the burbs too, it's just that it's not as frequent. But mina the township neighbourhood I grew up in is still decent and the people mostly tend to keep to themselves so it's often quiet.
Hey Sis, God is with us and we are never alone. Wow there's a purpose for that pain or huddle, I am so sorry that the building is not complete yet. 🌸🌸🌸
I am encouraged, thank you so much for sharing this journey with us and enjoy the rest my Sis and see you in the coming year God willing. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just a wife that will soon be in her home. We love it for you Ma’am!! Your home is beautiful, it’s coming along nicely. Do not be discouraged, perseverance will finish its work sis 💛🙏🏾🌻🍃
This was such a beautiful vlog. Patience really is a virtue and when we wait on the Lord He renews our strength. In 2024 you added so much value into my life I’m truly grateful and I can’t wait to grow and glow with you in the new year ❤❤
Beautiful vlog ❤. Thank you for the reminder that even in the waiting season God is still with us. If there is one thing I learned 2023/2024 is that the waiting season can be brutal, your faith is really tested during the waiting season and truly it is only your faith that will carry you. The pruning season is hard, but I believe the waiting season is there so we can bear testimony to God's faithfullness. He will restore what the locus has eaten in due course and when He does, it will be like there was never a pruning period. May 2025 be a much better year for all of us 🙏 I stay in the burbs, my mom stays in the township and I love going home to the real melwane vibes because this side, it is each one for themselves, but I also love the peace and quiet.
Thank you so much for ministering to my soul . Out pruning system is not in vain even though it feels like that. The peace and quite of the suburbs is worth it . Also I feel like with our generation we are not as neighbourly as our parents . I miss that unity now we are too individualistic
The house is getting there. I see the vision. I can understand your frustration. Buying in the suburbs is absolutely ridiculous. The prices just don't make sense for me, at all! Regardless of how fancy or upmarket it just doesn't make sense to me. Its the battle we have been struggling with. But my prayer is God will make a way to have the home we want, and that meets all our needs in the area we desire. Have a wonderful christmas❤
16:09 I’m really understanding why my parents did the same thing. I thought that they were a little extra, but I honestly see the seeds they’ve sown for us 🥺🥺 thank you Sisi ❤
Ngwana Morena ❤❤😊😊😊😊 I just love the theme waiting on God. God is still with you amen amen to that... I get you very mummy waitse but we thank God that his still good indeed. 💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃 We thank God sis wow, your really encouraging me 😭😭😭😭 This is beautiful waitse shuuuu there is a good God in Heaven Let's wait on God. Im so emotional 😂😂😂😂😂 Township vibes maaan😂😂😂😂😂 Prayer room 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 You just blessed me
I will never get over your feature wall at the stairs. Its so gorgeous. Im also just like you- I don't like apartments. I lived in one when I started working and its not for me. You need to share the drying yard and sometimes people park in your bay, not to mention the levees that keep mounting every year in estates. Kgotlelela sesi Joey, you are almost there. 2025 you guys are moving in❤
Thank you so much Kgomotso you actually make me appreciate the feature wall. I think because I am so tired I sometimes don’t see the beauty or progress .
Hey Sesi Joey❤ Just that reminder that “God is with us” sometimes goes a long way ❤ Waiting for the things we want can be really hard But God’s timing is always perfect even if it doesn’t match our plans. Its really easy especially with Kids 😊 With that said I cant wait to see the final reveal ☺️☺️ this house is beautiful and thank you so much for allowing us to come into your lives and encouraging us that it is possible. I love you Sesi ❤❤❤
Honestly ous' Joey I'm truly proud of you, what a beautiful house I can imagine after the finished touch. I'd prefer having a beautiful house in the township ( stressless ) and it's such an investment.❤❤ God's timing is the best I know re fela pelo, but He has a purpose in delaying. Ke kopa go tlo nwa coffee when the house is done.😅😅
Am definitely your husband and u are my husband lol I can see u are over and u don’t care with things being perfect. Your home is already stunning. Sis Yho staying in town it got so many bad sides . I have a stand alone so I definitely enjoy privacy and the quietness Especially your last 2 kids will enjoy their home . I wish to own a village home . And God is here blessing you ❤
lol yoh Sisi I really don’t care anymore I just want to go back home. You guys are perfectionist while we just want to live and enjoy😅🙈. Thank you Sisi I would love being at a farm with the convenience
I am so sorry, I am glad you accepted that you have to wait cz when the time is right, I the Lord I will make it happen, so don’t rush all will be done, Mina I never wanted to stay in the township and that’s simply bcz after varsity I got a job in places where I feel like I wanna leave there and build my family there. I am Ohk with going home and enjoy the township life a bit and go to my place for peace of mind, hai hai that doesn’t make sense I always wonder how a person can buy a 2mil car and not get a home loan. Bona one things about buying ur house u save a lot more unlike us who chose the burbs😂😂ba re am the wife I love wood paling is too cute, and u look amazing, bona hubby did well they have powder room😂😂 Mara ga fella Bitso few more months you will be home.

Thank you, I needed that reminder 🙏🏾too 😍🙏🏾

@@joeydlaminivlogs you’re right. I always say I want to live in a small complex with mostly old people babelungu 🙈

Hey Joey, trust me water is an issue in most parts of Johannesburg not just the township. But I get that it can sometimes be worse there.
Hey Mpho I’ve sadly realised that it is now an issue all over
16:55 we r starting up at the rural closer to township but if I did better in life I would stay in surburbs 👌👌👌👌

I am so sorry, I am glad you accepted that you have to wait cz when the time is right, I the Lord I will make it happen, so don’t rush all will be done, Mina I never wanted to stay in the township and that’s simply bcz after varsity I got a job in places where I feel like I wanna leave there and build my family there. I am Ohk with going home and enjoy the township life a bit and go to my place for peace of mind, hai hai that doesn’t make sense I always wonder how a person can buy a 2mil car and not get a home loan.
Bona one things about buying ur house u save a lot more unlike us who chose the burbs😂😂ba re am the wife I love wood paling is too cute, and u look amazing, bona hubby did well they have powder room😂😂 Mara ga fella Bitso few more months you will be home.
Thank you so much Bitso it just feels long but I know the is progress. You have the best of both worlds peace and quite then township when it’s needed
I hate that the banks will call you every day for the debts that they think you deserve not give you the debt that you want
Mxm it annoys me but I guess it is the system
