Frenemies are actually a thing
Updated | By Nobuntu Swartbooi
Friendships can be tricky sometimes, especially when you find yourself feeling indifferent when something good happens to a friend.
Wikipedia describes a frenemy (also spelled "frienemy") as "an oxymoron and a portmanteau of 'friend' and 'enemy' that refers to 'a person with whom one is friendly, despite a fundamental dislike or rivalry' or 'a person who combines the characteristics of a friend and an enemy'."

On Thursday, Stacey & JSbu made KZN think really hard about their friendships and how tricky they can be.
They asked listeners: Have you ever been jealous yet happy for your friend at the same time?
Because we all are human at the end of the day, there surely has been a moment or moments where you were not proud of it. Moments where, as happy as you were for your friend, you were also a bit jealous or wished it was you rather than them.
