One of the South African Facebook influencers, Feminist, Pan-Africanist, and atheist Malaika Mahlatsi has taken to her Facebook page to extol the Zimbabwe men for their innate caring nature.
In a short testimony, which she shared on her Facebook wall, she narrated how Zimbabwean men endear themselves into the hearts of many SA women.
Malaika shared how she told a man, who is not her boyfriend, that she was hungry over the phone as she had not cooked in her house.
Surprisingly, the man simply asked her what she wanted to eat at that time, and she replied, “Nandos.”
Without saying a word, the man logged into his Uber Eats application and ordered food for her.
The man had a different touch from what other men usually do, who record calls and share to the world on social media platforms that a lady has asked for a Nandos meal.
She declared that the man is definitely not a South African, but from Zimbabwean maintained that the culture is very common among Zimbabwean men.
The story attracted mixed reactions from her 155 000 Facebook followers as ladies seemed to appreciate the gentleman for such a kind gesture.
His behaviour is something that is missing, Mzansi men who usually demand something in return or broadcast to the world when one asks for such small favours.
One user who confessed to be Pedi claimed he does the same for his pears as he buys them food without saying a word.
He was applauded for being an outstanding man as this was said to be not common from people of his village.
Some suggested that she spends so much time with Zimbabweans which is why she enjoys such benefits. If she could have spent more time with South African men, she could have got the chance to enjoy some unique benefits which she can find in no other men.
Other South African men felt offended by her post and began hauling insults towards her. Some even went on to body shame her but Malaika did not back down.
She went on to say, “South African men must explain to me where they get the energy to come and insult me on my wall when they never have energy to give us o_rg_as_ms.“
She fumed, “WHY IS THAT ENERGY ONLY ON YOUR FINGERS WHEN YOU TYPE BUT NOT BELOW THE BELT? WHY?“
After they told her that the love is fake but a ploy to use her, she doubled down on her stand.
Them: These Zimbabwean men that you like to praise don’t love you, they just want to use you.
Me: Oh Lord I beg! May they please use me, I beg! I am very willing and able. I want to be used by those men. Zimbabwean men, please use me. From my hair follicles to my toenails – use ALL of me, I beg. Use me anyhow. I am user-friendly. I’m even recyclable!
