“Hlomu, it’s me,” a voice says from outside. What? 5am? How did this person get through gate security? I put on my robe and walk to the door, but first I peep through the window, the Sprinter is outside. What to expect: love, violence, sexual content, patriarchy, 💯SA content. Other books to read after this one Naledi His Love and Zandile The Resolute. The book is the first of the Hlomu series. The bug-eyed handsome Zulu brothers are: Nkosana, Nqobi, Mqhele, Qhawe, Sambulo, Mqoqi, Mpande and Ntsika. A young woman named Mahlomu meets Mqhele Zulu and they fall in love. Hlomu helps the family confront the past that left them as orphans. by Dudu Busani-Dube (Author) (99) Hlomu The Wife is essentially a love story that takes its cues from life in a South African township.

When it’s good it’s prince and princess seating on a golden tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g – you wish to experience that kind of love and passion and when it’s bad it’s cursing all taxi drivers/men putting the book down for a minute.

Like all married couples, Hlomu and Mqhele go through ups and downs but their love is toxic. She is tasked with the responsibility of taking care of Mqhele and his seven siblings (all male – sighs) and three children of the eldest brother. Hlomu’s life changes dramatically when she marries Mqhele just after six months of dating. It’s a love story that explores a life of a taxi driver/owner and a Journalist. Hlomu the Wife centers around the life of Mahlomula and Mqhele Zulu (he is Zulu and his last name is Zulu, yeah). But the dream guy has disturbing flaws that need serious treatment – Abusive, chauvinist, stalker, patriarchal and a criminal. Mqhele is a man most women would love to have.
