We are both no-nonsense women. However, I am not a violent person I don't beat men. I hope Patronella teaches women to work on what they have: Be it a cleaner or cook or a nanny. And they mustn't put all their eggs in one basket.

Faced with the pressure to succeed, to be liked by peers, to have an emotionally stable family life, and also nail it in the relationship department. We hope that stories like this one, that we tell on Mzansi Magic, will not only entertain but also shine a spotlight on pertinent themes that many teenagers deal with daily.
