Scene #1.8

Its 08:30 Monday morning and Mpumezo is on his way to Prominade Mall in Mitchell's Plain. He met Sisanda along the way;

Mpumezo: “Heita!”

Sisanda: “Hello sweets”

Mpumezo: “How are you?”

Sisanda: “All sweet and how about you?”

Mpumezo: “God has bee great, Thank You! So, usuka phi elixesha?”

Sisanda: “Intombi ayibuzwa ukuba ivela phi ekuseni mfo”

Mpumezo: “Hasuka! Ngoba kutheni? Ndiyakubuza kaloku mna!”

Sisanda: “Alright! Fine I will tell you! Khaqale undithengele i-stoney torho, ndinebhabhalaza!”

Mpumezo: “OHK! Masigqithe pha ema-Somaliyeni ndikuzame”

And they went to buy that drink at the Somalian nationals spaza shop. When they got there, he took out a R100 note and bought a 1.5l stoney drink, a chocolate (Slab) bar and a R30 MTN airtime and all of these items were for Sisanda. And he gave her another R40 so that she can buy herself anything. They went back on the street and stood there for about 20 minutes more! What they were chatting about is unknown, I was too far to hear anything by that time. All I can tell you, they shared a hug and a baby-kiss xa babesahlukana.

He went to catch a taxi to Mitchell's Plain, near the school that is being built opposite the Police Station/Library and he had to wait for the taxi to be full and while on the back seat, came in Bonisa.

Bonisa is one of Sizeka's friends, you will remember her phayana ententeni chatting with Sizeka about Lindelwa, Thembela and Siseko. She was going to work, and she is working at Pick 'n Pay eProminade Mall. Inye moss le ndlela, andithi?

Babulisele, ze wazohlala apha ecaleni komzalwane wakhe uBonisa. Unxibe i-uniform yomsebenzi kwaye efanekile kulabhrukhwe yomsebenzi. Kwakushushu kwaye intombi i-cleavage iyithe qhakra yonke ngaphandle. Umfo omkhulu wayemane egxelesha esi sifuba sirhalelekayo. Inge unombono sele ewamunca okanye ewancanca lomabele. Makhulu kwaye uwanyusile ke umakazi, naaango, ngasesilevini! Kwek! Yenye intlobo yendoda kodwa le...!

Mpumezo: “Kanti nawe ukuFacebook? Ndicela undi-Add(e) kaloku nam”

Bonisa: “Ndikhangele ngokwakho kaloku, mna ndizoku-accepter”

Mpumezo: “OK! So, andizubethwa moss xa ndincokola nawe ku-WhatsApp or Facebook?”

Bonisa: “Ngubani kanene? Coz ke andinamntu mna”

Mpumezo: “Yindoda yakho tshini! Awunandoda kanti?”

Binisa: “Ha.a! I don't have a man! You know moss, that you all are the same and what you do, you just breaking our hearts and playing with us”

Mpumezo: “Not all os us are the same, besides, I am a man of God and I will never play with your heart. My job as a man of God is heal broken hearts and mend them and make a woman happy! It is my job”

Ngoku itaxi sele idlula eStockroad Train Station...!

Bonisa: “Uthini ngoku mzalwane wam! Andikuva ke ngoku tu! Kwaye mandikuve mzalwane wam! Uthini kanye ngoku?”

Mpumezo: “Awundiva ndawoni na ma-Bonie?”

Bonisa: “Ndigqibele sithetha ngee-social networks kaloku mna, ngoku undilahlile, buya mzalwane wam. Usekhona? Ndiyawukhalimela kodwa loomoya!” (Ebuhlaka kodwa)

Mpumezo: “I won't lie Bonisa, i've been looking at you for quite sometime now and I have feelings for you and ndiyakuthanda...!”

Bonisa: “Ingathi sele ndizokohlika mna ngoku, iya eProminade ngoku itaxi and shame andikuva mna tu. Kaloku, usindisiwe Mpumezo kwaye bekumele woyiselwe kwezo iincoko and ngoku ndiyadana xa ikwa nguwe ozothi uyandithanda. Ithini into yakho na bhuti? Umbaxa?”

Mpumezo: “Nam ke ndiza apha eProminade! (Besohlika kunye eteksini) Bendisatsho kaloku, mna ndizithandela wena! Yima ungagilwa zezimoto zala-malawu! (Bawela indlela, banqumla ukuya ngasemnyango we mall) Ndiyakuthanda Bonisa, kwaye ndijonge lukhulu kuwe sisi. Ndifuna...”

Bonisa: (Cuts in) “Please, lets talk via WhatsApp or Facebook, I am kinda late now and ndilambile ndifuna ukufika ndiqale nditye...!”

Mpumezo: “Ndingabe ndikuthengela i-pie apha kwa-Pie City if uyafuna...!”

Bonisa: “Heeee! Uyithatha phi ke wena imali? Ha! Ha! Ha! Ndingavuya bhuti...! Ndicela i-stake and kidney ke mna bhuti, ne juice...!”

Bakugqiba uthenga baye bangana ze bohlukana, omnye wakhwela eyakhe imfene wasingisa apho abe ebhalele khona, nomnye waqubula kokwakhe...!

Kazi ifuna ukuba yintoni na lento yalo mshumayeli weendaba zakwalizwi?

Masimakhele umkhanyo ke mlesi...!
