J Sbu's father calls a 'family meeting' for the men of the Nxumalo clan
When was the last time, if ever, that you and your family had a family meeting?
For J Sbu, it was yesterday - yes, a Sunday and not the family meeting that we all as a country curl up in front of our TV for in bated breath.

No, friends, this was a different kind of family meeting, the kind that had J Sbu in a panic. The patriarch of the Nxumalo household sent a curious, cryptic Whatsapp text to the family group on Friday morning.
The text simply read:
This is dad, I need to see you boys this Sunday, its urgent.
Admit it, you would have freaked out, too?!

J Sbu immediately called his cousins to find out who had done what wrong to warrant a family meeting. Everything was quiet thereafter in the family group as the dreaded Sunday approached. J Sbu prepared himself for the worst and arrived with a bottle of his dad's favourite beverage to soften him up, if you will.
He was the first to arrive and his mom told him that his father had just run out to run a quick errand. Whilst he waited anxiously, he tried to get the 'scoop' from his mom.
My mom and I have always had a great relationship, growing up - she would be the first one to give me a heads up if or when my dad was mad. Even though I am in my late 20's to my dad I am still just a 'small boy'.
Eventually, after what seemed like forever to J Sbu, his dad returned home and his cousins also pitched for the family meeting. J Sbu recounts that his dad was stone faced and called them all to behind the house where the washing line is situated so that they could have some privacy away from his mother and sister.
