A new makoti and her child is made to wash clothes for the whole family and neighbors in Welkom, Free State.
It is that time of the year of a season where it begins to get cold as winter knocks. People will start wearing many clothes to keep warm and change everyday. They will be piling clothes in a busket and doesn’t wash them because they don’t want to touch cold water.
It is sad for a 27 years old woman from Odendaalsrus in Free State who has 4 year old girl to get married in a family in Thabong by the Welkom town. This lady who goes by a nickname of Dolly and her child Amahle are not being treated well by her husband’s family.
This lady is one of the ladies who stepped in a family that has many family members and the rules of the mother-in-law are still strict. She was made to wash clothes for the whole family and of neighbors to see if she is a true makoti with strength.
On a cold day in Welkom on Tuesday a lady was captured on camera washing many clothes for the family and of neighbors using tap cold water. If the family of her husband who is known as Michael had a wachine machine and Dolly was to wash clothes for the whole family and of neighbors, it was gonna be good and simple.
The purpose of this bunch of clothes washing is to see if she has the strength to do lot of washing and later her husband to find freshly cooked food also the house clean. This comes after she was told that the family expect her to have close to 7 children.
“I manged to wash all clothes and the way I have strength, I also went fetch table clothes and curtains to wash them. I cooked, cleaned and bathe the child as well as me. My husband found me waiting for him to dish for him and sleep.” said Dolly.Â
It was not good to see Dolly was washing so much clothes especially of neighbors, but when she gave statement that it was nothing and it was a task for her to challenge it, people applauded her to show that she is a true makoti.
