I returned to my father’s house, while Mika and Katleho went to the school. 

I found my mother paging through an old photo album, what she normally did when she wanted to relive old memories. 

“I am so proud you my child.” said Patricia. 

“Proud, why?” 

“Look at this picture, tell me what you see?”Patricia said pointing at one of the pictures in the album. 

I leaned closer to my mother to get a clear view of the picture. And began to laugh. 

“I see a two year kid, butt naked carrying a ball and laughing. I was probably playing.” 

“and I see something else entirely. I see joy, we struggled so much but you were so happy my child. You didn’t even know how much pain I was in at the time, how stressed I was for not being employed, not being able to provide for you.It was so hard back then.” Patricia cried. 

“But we didn’t stru

    Byron hadn’t called anyone on the phone. But his mental state had not changed he was still insane. He hadnt abducted anyone yet, but he still did his experiments.“All of my rats have gone missing, as if they knew I was after them as if they were saved by an angel.” Byron said, holding a rat with his two hands tightly preventing it from breathing. Byron then looked up at the ceiling, Agent lunga controlled the robo bugs to try and hide them.“you whoever you are who is listening, I urge you to stop what you are doing and join me instead.” Said Byron. He hadn’t noticed that the robo bugs were in the room, but he did speak on empty space, somehow he knew or assumed that there were indeed people looking at him without his knowledge.“Be very discreet from now, we are dealing with a very intellegent man, we need to stay alert all the time. We cant make any mistakes.” warned Ben.Byron took a jug filled

Yet they didn’t know where I was.“Sir we need to go to this Byron, We already have robo bugs following him why cant we go there and raid his place?” asked Mika who was already grown impatient of following orders.“Mika, if Lebohang was there at his warehouse or secret lab, we would know that by now. The man is experimenting on rats doing God knows what, he even chats to them you can see that he’s insane and we still have not seen anything that could prove that he is somehow involved in Lebohang’s disappearance.” said Ben.“Fine, youre right”“A new case has come up, let’s go to my office.

  • Guardians of the Hex   Journey to Montagu

    The benign influence of pure air covered the entire Montagu area, unlike the contaminated air of Joburg city where I came from. The city of gold had left me with bittersweet memories I chose to wipe out from my mind, however there was one thing I could not seem to forget which was my mother’s cooking. I especially loved the manner in which she would prepare ”bohobe” they call it in my Sotho language. Made from a combination of flour, yeast, and sugar, served with my favourite boerewors, minced meat combined with spices and wrapped with animal skin into a long roll. Deep down I knew that she would do alright on her own. She was a sophisticated, strong, independent woman who was capable of taking care of herself. “If your father gives you any troubles, you call me alright!” Said my mother, with a compassionate look on her face. She somehow still saw me as her little girl. A part of me wanted to burst out laughing but I kept my self at ease. “I will be okay. Don't worry yourself nee

    Getting married was something I never thought could happen to me, let alone last this long in a relationship with a man. After the rape incident I found it hard to be attracted to any man. I hate them, they disgusted me. Mr Phenyo had a charm to him that made my knees weak, but he also scared me. However with Sam, thing’s were different, he was the ideal match I had long been waiting for. Where was Mr Phenyo anyway? I wondered.Early in the morning, at the GOH site, cafeteria.“one week left and you’ll be Mrs Hansling.” said Sam, the smile on his face was so wide, that you’d swear he was advertising toothpaste.“Do you have a groomsman yet?” I asked“do you have a bridesmaid yet?”I chuckled.We both had a lot of work to do.“Do you think Mika would agree to be my groomsman?”“Mika’s is my friend, so y
