Doctor Menzi Jobe, distinction in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Psychiatry and Family medicine. A round of applause, ululating and whistles were heard from the audience as Menzi walked on the stage to collect his certificate. He had finally graduated, making him the first Jobe doctor. His parents and the whole Jobe family were very proud of him. S’bu was the proudest of them all, he told everyone he met, spoke about him in board meetings and posted about his doctor brother on social media. He had more posts on Menzi’s graduation than Menzi himself. Menzi was going to start his internship but everyone was already telling him their medical problems and checking with him if the medication they were taking was correct. The Jobe’s had a huge extravagant graduation party for him.
You must stop telling people about me now, I’m getting consultations from people I don’t even know, Menzi told his brother.
After the party when very few guests were left, Thandi finally got a chance to speak to her friend. I just saw my stupid cousin leaving with a huge grin on his face, Thandi said looking at Mandy suspiciously.Don’t call him stupid, Mandy said casting her eyes down.You’ve already forgiven him, so soon! Thandi exclaimed.He is just so handsome and charming. I never really got over him, Mandy confessed.If he hurts you, I will kill him, Thandi said. Mandy laughed. Now you know how I feel every time you go back to S’bu even after he hurt you, she said.Thandi was speechless. Mandy was right. Thandi and S’bu fought a lot in the past, Mandy always stood by her side and even told her not to give her brother a chance ag
When they got inside the house, Menzi was there playing music loud and dancing. Thandi greeted him and wondered if he heard all the noise they made in the garage. She was relieved when he asked them if they had been watching him dance for a long time, due to the loud music, he did not hear them come in. Thandi was feeling tired and decided to rest in the bedroom leaving the two brothers.In the garage, really? Menzi asked his brother sarcastically after making sure Thandi was really gone.So, you heard us? S’bu asked smiling.I didn’t only hear, dude I saw you. When I heard the noise I thought it was burglars and went to investigate. You can imagine my surprise when I came across the scene, Menzi said.Thandi can never
One afternoon Mr J received an email again. This was the 10th one and it was demanding more money. G could not trace the sender and every time the location he dropped the money to was deserted with no cameras and no way of monitoring who picked it up. Realising that the demands were only going to get bigger, he decided to confess to his wife and the police. After looking through the case, the police told him that there was no case against him. Even though he fled the scene, the witness and the victim testimony revealed that he was defending himself and saved the girl. Relieved the he was exonerated by the law, he now had to confess to Thandi and asked S’bu to bring her that evening.Thandi had been to the Jobe home a multiple times before, but this time the atmosphere was very tense. Mr J decided to go straight to the point and tell Thandi everything.15 years ago, I had jus
Are you able to trace him? G asked getting impatient.I don’t have to, I know where he is, said Black widow.You do? asked G surprised. He had spent months trying to trace the blackmailer and came with nothing.Yes but something does not add up, Black widow said.What doesn’t add up? G asked.Blackmailing is unlike him, Black widow said worried.You know the person? G asked curious.Yes, its Buz, I trained him. When I was young and stupid, I hacked a government website and I was sentenced to a community service in a institution for kids with special needs. That’s where I met Buz. He has autism, very smart but misunderstood. I showed him some skills and I was amazed at the things he could do. By the time he was 18 years, he moved out of the institution and he was able to use his skills to support himself. He even donates to that institution and support kids with autism. This guy would not blackmail anyone unless he’s bein
At this moment, I would like the legal counsels to consult with their clients and confirm if the presentation by Duke represents their views.You have 30 minutes, S’bu said leaving the boardroom.Tsepo kept his head down the whole time. He was wondering how he went wrong when he tried his best to accommodate everyone. It seemed that at this moment everyone was against him.After 30 minutes, the meeting resumed and all legal counsels confirmed that their clients were all happy and stood by every word of the presentation.On behalf of Jobe and Company, I would like to thank you for your service. From your presentation it is clear that our company procedures and policies are no longer compatible with your needs. I therefore term
G had traveled with Black widow to meet Buz, the autistic man who was a computer genius. G was loosing his patience as Buz would only answer when questioned by Black widow because he did not like to talk to strangers and had a lot of things he was particular about. It took two days for G and Black widow to get the information from Buz. He only wrote the emails and made sure that they were untraceable but never collected the money. On one of his visits to the institution that supports children with autism, he was touched by a story by one of the children’s mother he met outside. She told him about how the father abandoned them when he found out that their child was autistic and refused to support them. He helped write the emails for the mother to get money to support her child. According to Buz, the father still did not pay even with the blackmailing emails, that’s why he sent more threatening ones after that.When they went to t
S’bu was woken up by the sound of his ringing phone at midnight. They had a hot make out session when they got back from dropping Cindy off. Thandi was very grateful that he took her word and let Cindy go. She also felt guilty for initially assuming that he was cheating on her. He was only teasing when he told her to make it up to him but she unexpectedly rose to the occasion. He recalled how she looked like a goddess when she was on top of him with her perfect breasts bouncing in harmony with the rest of her body until they both reached climax and fell asleep exhausted.Dad, he answered the phone with a low voice trying not wake Thandi who was sleeping soundly on his chest.I hear that you let Cindy go, Mr J said.Thandi is certain that Cindy is being setup, S&rs
The following day, Thandi and Amahle went shopping. Amahle insisted that they buy colour coordinated dresses for their dinner that afternoon. They went back to Thandi’s flat after watching a movie and prepared for their dinner.When S’bu got there, they were ready and he couldn’t stop complimenting on how great they looked. He decided to join them and wear a tie that matched their colours.When they got to the restaurant, he got out, opened the doors for them and handed his keys to the valet. He walked to The Pearls with his arm around Thandi’s waist and holding Amahle with his other hand. The three of them looked so perfect and attracted a lot of attention.They were welcomed by the waitress who lead them to their table and
S’bu and Thandi were inseparable from the day she was discharged from the hospital. They were spotted a multiple times walking holding hands, sharing ice cream at their favourite ice cream shop with their children. Thandi’s relationship with Dlamini and Jobe family had also improved.S’bu and Menzi’s relationship was even better than before. They literally spent every other day in each other’s homes just like they did growing up. Menzi brought Joy every time he came until her fear of marriage subsided after witnessing how in love S’bu and Thandi were after everything they went through. Thandi was happy to gain a new friend and they soon discovered that they had a lot in common. Their relationship made Mandy and Cindy uneasy as they felt that they were loosing Thandi to Joy and it didn’t help that they betrayed her.It’s
S’bu and his cousin were still sitting sitting down the hill when they heard a familiar voice.It’s good to know that you will actually mourn for me, it said.Thandi? S’bu said rubbing his eyes. Did he wish Thandi was there so much that he started imagining her talking to him?No, it’s my ghost, who-ooh, she said laughing, sitting next to him.Thandi, he called her name again, touching her face. You are here, he said kissing her.How is this possible? Sbu’s cousin asked, puzzled. We all saw your car exploding.When the truck knocked my car off the road, it was caught by those tree branches for few minutes before it started rolling down. I managed to get off in time and held on the tree but I lost my balance
The following day, Thandi went to see S’bu in his office. The JC staff were exceptionally friendly to her. It was well known that S’bu had transferred everything to her, including JC. It was also common knowledge that the judge had to authorise their salaries until the divorce process was completed. This meant that Thandi had the authority to hire and suspend anyone and might be responsible for signing off their salaries in the future.When Thandi reached the CEO’s floor, Sbu’s PA’s did not try to stop her. They were so friendly, they even offered her coffee.MaDlamini, it is great to see you, S’bu said lovingly.Don’t try to flatter me, she said sternly.I am just happy to see you, he said charmingly.I have made my decision about the research. I will come bac
S’bu drove Thandi and Amahle home. Thandi was silent all the way listening to Amahle venting about the journalists. When they got home, Amahle got off the car, leaving her parents behind.Is what the journalists said true about the research sponsor? Thandi asked without emotion.Yes, it is. Luke, the mentee left three months after you resigned. His report back stated that there was no progress on the research since you left. The sponsor decided that it made sense to pull off the sponsor and give it to whichever company you decide to work with, he explained.Okay, she said, opening the car door.Thandi, he called, holding her hand.Don’t touch me, you have no right, she said coldly and got off the car.
S’bu and Mr J were walking in the garden.Listen son, I know you are sorry and you want to fix things. These are my suggestions. You have to publicly apologise because you publicly hurt and humiliated her. You need to fix what you destroyed starting with her home you burnt down in the village. Thandi was never interested in your money, transferring everything you own in her name will not win you any points. You will get to her back by focusing on what she loves the most, that’s Sipho and Amahle. I know that you and Sipho are now inseparable. Now you have to win Amahle over as well. If you succeed, you will have your wife back.I have started building the house in the village, I am doing my best to make sure that it is exactly the way it was. It should be completed soon, S’bu said. Amahle hates me, I can see it in her eyes. I d
Thandi and Amahle were standing outside the court waiting for S’bu to come out with Sipho when Cindy and Tsepo approached them.Thandi, Tsepo said coming to hug her.I don’t think you should do that, your wife is not comfortable with me around you, Thandi said avoiding Tsepo’s hug.Seriously! Tsepo exclaimed, giving Cindy a cold look.I’m sorry, I believed Jane and said mean things to Thandi, Cindy said, ashamed.She is the only person that believed you when you were accused of being a blackmailer and you couldn’t return that favour, Tsepo said, disappointed.It’s okay,
Two weeks had passed and no one heard anything from Thandi. S’bu had moved back to the mansion hoping to feel closer to her and maybe get some clues on where she could have gone. He had gone to different television stations and on social media urging her to come back home or at least let him know that she was okay but there was no response.S’bu was starting to wonder if Thandi had managed to leave the country like she was planning to when he received a call from the highest court in the country informing him that it has received a divorce application. He was informed that the hearing will be held the following week. He didn’t know if he should celebrate or be sad. At least he now had a confirmation that Thandi was okay but if she approached the highest court in the country it meant that she was more determined than ever to divorce him.You have to forgive me baby, there is
Fifty kilometres from the city, S’bu and seventy armed Jobe man had an old factory surrounded. They were patiently waiting for Black Widow to give them a signal that the cameras were disabled. S’bu noticed a familiar figure walking towards them.Jobe, please forgive me, he said dropping on his knees.In a split second, S’bu fell backwards and pressed on his bleeding nose. Menzi had punched him very hard on his nose.Can you two do this later after we have rescued my brother, Zake said irritated.Now we are even, Menzi said, offering his hand to S’bu pulling him to his feet.Bother! S’bu said hugging him.Don’t stain my shirt with your blood, you idiot! exclai
The following day, S’bu arrived to tell Thandi to move out of the mansion. He wanted Jane and his biological child to be raised in that mansion. He painfully ignored Sipho who was very excited to see him, breaking Thandi’s heart.You can move into any of the other houses, he suggested.Thandi had no energy to argue with S’bu and decided to give him whatever he wanted. As long as she had her son and daughter, she did not care about anything else anymore.S’bu left Thandi to pack her stuff and could not help feeling like he was crossing a line, but he had already promised Jane the mansion and had to continue with the plan.Thandi, Amahle and Sipho walked into woman sanctuary. This was a secret location that provided sanctuary to abused woman and women who ne
