Ep. 12: Mbali + Sivu

This week we're having a #rebrand and talking about Mbali Hadebe and Sivuyile Levin, from Netflix's Miseducation.

Join Zama as she explains why this couple is premature, how Sivu's metamorphosis dismantled his relationship, what's hindering Mbali from growing, and how they can move forward for the better with a second season. We turn this week's battle back onto campus to pick our secondary faves.

When 2 of my faves on different soaps meet & hook up.

Elite's Ivan spent some time in South Africa in S4 of Blood & Water and had fun with Puleng. 💋 🥂 🪷 🌺

(I enjoyed it for what it was, a fun fling that was mostly unproblematic and angsty especially compared to their other romantic relationships. They didn't try to make it more than it was considering Ivan's limited time at Parkhurst but they definitely found something special and appreciated in each other. Good chem too.)

Was watching this and in the 2nd episode they show a group of israhellis that were stuck on a village that got struck by the earthquake There were 3 of them who served in the israhelli army

So what do they do

They go against the wishes of the Nepali natives, go to the village, raid it for "food", find a trunk full of cash, claim its theirs, get caught, and then reassure each other their intentions were good.

This has always been their teaching, and way of upbringing, I mean when you hear them talk about it, the man who stole the money doesn't even show an ounce of remorse to be doing this act at such a peak devastating moment

I promise I had no idea something like that was in it, I was simply watching the documentary having seen the trailer on Netflix for the first time and I come across this episode and it made me go crazy that they've normalised this behaviour so much they're starting to do it everywhere.

10 Quotes Challenge

But make it quotes I use on a daily basis:

1. What a barb!

2. Good God, did someone die?

3. Was I truly that blind?

4. It seems my garden is in.. bloom.

5. She sounds like a terrible nuisance.

6. You must make haste!

7. I oiled my way right in.

8. En guarde!

9. How convenient..

10. Hush, you!

Aynsley Broom came up with this challenge, as a reaction to Netflix SA Bridgerton event - the guests we're clearly not fans, some of them didn't even watch the show, they didn't know BASIC quotes (sorrows, prayers) OR character names (one of them even said "Colin and the readhead, I forgot her name").

The Meghan Show

In 2015, Sentebale hosted their annual chaity polo event at Val de Vie Estate in South Africa. I can no longer abide Sparry's insufferable voice, but this video footage from a pre-megxit fundraiser is markedly different from the staged Meghan shows featuring the "spare pair" of whinging nutburgers.

In April 2024 Sparry and wife filmed the Sentebale megflix event in Wellington, FL. They promoted the event as "glitzy."

Serena Williams traveled from Miami to witness and participate in her 2nd megflix production. She appears to have been the only "celebrity" on the set. Serena has previously expressed an interest in acting and is best friends with Kim Kardashian.

In 2022, Nacho formed polo team in Santa Barbara to "help" Sparry. To date, Netflix has not used any of the published (backgrid) images.

The Meghans invited celebrities to the 2022 event. Rebel Wilson's Australian mother offended the couple w/4 words: "where are your children?"

From Neil Sean: according to John Travolta's team, Harry demands that his WIFE (Meghan Markle, former briefcase model) present his awards.

You are LAUGHING. Black people are desperate for aspirational figures and instead of digging into history of subsaharan Africa they are trying to claim the last and most cringefail Egyptian dynasty, and you’re LAUGHING.

(Seriously. Jada, I know you have been trough some shit last year and probably need a pick-me-up, but seriously?! Who the fuck wants the Ptolemies?! That’s like when people claim Peter the Great slept with Menshikov; like, as a queer person, my honest answer to that is “we don’t want them”.)

Has anyone watched The Ultimatum: South Africa? This shit is so good! Now THIS is how you do reality tv! Real couples, real drama, not overproduced crap we’ve been getting lately

[lordansketil]

oh my god, they are making a queen charlotte bridgerton show. and like... why? why can't we just have actual biopic. why can't we have a biopic that shows that this was a woman who didn't take sugar in her tea to support abolition, but was part of an institution that fundamentally profited from slavery? why can't we talk about the joyful young woman who was forced to obey her rigid husband's rules, have 15 children, and could be both kind and cruel. just make a fantasy show. just. make. a. fantasy. show. i am tired.

Guys, guys, GUYS! (gender neutral)

There is this new movie on Netflix, Runs In The Family (2023). GO WATCH IT.

It's a South African dramedy about a transgender boy and his single father who go on a road trip to break his birthmother out of a hospital. Then the protagonist's drag partner hurts their foot, and THE FATHER JUMPS IN AND DOES A DUAL DRAG NUMBER WITH HIS SON.

It's this beautifully messy family story, with a wonderful father-son relationship at its heart. From South Africa. Also, it's in English, you don't even need subtitles.

Feels like something Tumblr would appreciate.

This article represents how prevalent and poisonous White Supremacy is around the globe. The non-African present day people who live in Egypt, which is a country on the Black African continent, are upset that the race of the original Egyptians who lived in Egypt for thousands of years before them are being depicted in film as they truly were; Black African. (sic)

Netflix South Africa LIVE on TikTok was a Proof why influencers shouldn't be invited just because. Let the fans in instead.

Because that was embarassing.
