We catch up with Grace and Helena and talk about sister love.

​I’ve learnt a whole lot being in a friendship with my young sister who is also my best friend. However one thing we have both learnt is that friendship is growth and we grow together, it’s a two way thing we’re we know the love is mutual. It sets the standards for other friendships but nothing comes close to or can match sisterly love. 

The funniest memory with my sister ...lol. The day her phone went missing at church and after looking everywhere for it we heard it vibrating in the sanitary bin in the ladies bathroom. Without thinking twice I stuck my hand in the bun and pulled her phone out. It was distrusting at the time but now we laugh about it. 

Our pet peeve... definitely feet! Lol all kinds of feet, we are not fans of feet . 

​We catch up with Zwi who shares his love for fiance Phindulo, and the commitments they've made to one another.

Today we catch up with Tawanda and Ruvimbo who share their bold love with us.

a) What have you learnt in being in a relationship/ friendship with this person
T: That communication is important
Rue: That there are so many different faces of love – so many different ways of
loving/showing love

What one thing makes this work for you?
We completely agree that it’s our faith in God that makes this work as well as it does –
nothing else. From there everything else overflows: the love, trust, and learning to
compromise – it’s all rooted in the values that our faith keeps teaching us.

b) Funniest memory with the person
T: This is a tough one. There are so many funny moments between us it’s hard to think of
one. There are regular moments where we make each other laugh – she snorts, drools,
cries, there’s snot even, but I can’t think of a specific memory. We just laugh a lot of the
time.
Rue: The snot thing’s not true by the way. Lol. But like him I can only picture me crying with laughter in different places at the most random of times. There’s lots of moments and I honestly can’t even think of why but we can really take some things to town and back-
there’s just so many things we can laugh about. I make fun of him a lot too though, he’s
currently plotting his comeback.
​

c) What is your favourite thing about this person
T: If I’m to pick one (and there are many) – I’d say it’s the way she understands who I am, it makes it easier to love her, and for her to love me for me.
Rue: There’s a lot – I’m going to have trouble narrowing this down. He’s an easy person to
like: even before romance, I just found him to be personable, a real people person – which
is tough for me sometimes because I’m definitely more recluse than he is. But it’s a good
challenge and has taught me to be a little more open (dare I say social?) so that’s good. Oh
and another favourite is that he always surprises me. That’s pretty amazing.

[We also agreed that we absolutely love each other’s openness to trying new things; so our
relationship is filled with the most amazing adventures together.]
