Faith Nketsi addressed the elephant in the room in her house when she opened up about how she has her hands full with her helper who has been giving her shade. 

Taking to her Twitter timeline, she wrote a lengthy Instagram thread sharing how her helper treated her differently to her husband.  

She said she had to teach her helper the basics, and she still gave her an attitude.

Guys! Sizani (help). Aunty is great at what she does neh? But for some reason, I get a weird vibe when I ask her to assist me, but I thought I won’t address it because it could just be in my head.”

Faith went on to detail some of the incidents that have happened in her household since they hired aunty, everything from aunty refusing to do some tasks because she's sick or telling them she doesn't know how to make tea.

After sharing some of the incidents, Faith said she mostly bothered by how uncomfortable she now felt in her own house on account of aunty's behaviour. The reality star asked for advice from tweeps.

“What annoys me is that I’m feeling uncomfortable in my own home. There’s a big elephant in the room and I don’t know where to even start. The only reason I’ve never addressed any prior issues I’ve had with her is because umuntu omdala, and I really didn’t want to keep complaining to my husband because I felt that this really doesn’t concern him. I’m here to build a warm home for us and I can’t be stressing him with petty things. Because she treats him like a king, he was honestly shocked when I started telling him everything. What do I do now?”

Taking to her Twitter timeline late in September, she shared details about how their Malawian helpers, who were staying with them, allegedly broke into her mother's house, stole her things and immediately went back to their country of birth.

“I have land/house next door to the house I bought for my mom. The gardener and his wife and baby stayed there for over a year. We fed them, clothed them, my mom even babysat their baby and paid them a salary. Today they broke into my mom's house and robbed her and went back to Malawi,” wrote Faith.
