Mandy was thrilled to be able to spend time with her best friend. They spent the whole afternoon in Mandy’s room. They chatted the whole evening about school, friends and family. Mandy’s room was on the second floor of the house. Thandi was thirsty so she went downstairs to drink water. She got into the kitchen and drank water. When she turned around to leave she bumped into S’bu.
MaDlamini, what a pleasant surprise, he said looking at her in the eyes. He already knew that she was around and had patiently waited to meet her. Thandi blushed, before she knew it, S’bu was hugging her. I have missed you, he whispered on her ear still holding her.
Are you crazy? there are elders around, Thandi said pushing him away.If you let me kiss you then I will let you go, he said teasing her.
Shameless! she said r
S’bu was left in the his car shocked, he still could not figure out what made Thandi so mad. When he got home he met his mother who wanted to talk to him about what she saw in the kitchen yesterday.S’bu, you know your reputation, she said. Unlike most of the many girls you hook up with, Thandi is a good girl, she’s Mandy’s best friend and I’m very fond of her. She’s a Ferrari and you are a taxi driver, that's a very dangerous combination. I want you to stay away her, do you understand?, Mrs J commanded her son.S’bu had never gone against his mother with anything. They were very close, he could tell her anything. Growing up, his father was very busy starting the business and only came back at night when they were all sleeping. When JJL became a success, S’bu was already a teenager and moved into a boarding school.I love her Ma, I really do. I know I have a r
In the village, Thandi packed all her clothes, cooked the chicken and steamed bread she was taking back to the city with her. The schools were opening the following day and she was looking forward to seeing her friends again. This year she will be doing grade 12 also known as matriculation or matric. This was the most challenging and important grade in the school as it was the last grade before university. Grade 12's write a national paper at the end of the year and universities use the results of that exam to accept or decline your admission to different courses. Thandi knew if she wanted to be accepted into quantum physics she had to work very hard this year.In grade 12a the pupils had finally settled down after greeting their friends and shared their festive stories. Mr Q entered the classroom, pupils stood up, clapped their hands and cheered for him. He had produced outstanding results with the previous years matriculants t
Few kilometres from the school Thandi, Mandy and Cindy were walking home when a red car stopped next to them. Inside it were two young man about 20 years old.Good afternoon ladies, they said politely.Good afternoon, the girls responded.Thandi can we talk to you please, they asked. Thandi was puzzled, she had never seen these people before yet they knew her name.Sorry, I don’t know you, she said. Her mother always told her not to talk to strangers.You think you are something because of S’bu that you won’t even talk to us? You not even that pretty, they sneered driving away.Thandi looked at Mandy confused hoping she would know what that was about but her friend was just as confused. They soon forgot about the weird young man and chatted happily
S’bu spent the whole morning and day thinking about a way to resolve the issue of the man troubling Thandi. He wandered if the private chat messages would be enough to convince the judge to grant restraining orders against the man. He consulted Zake about it. Zake was a respected lawyer and his father’s youngest brother. Since he was not as old, S’bu could speak freely with him and they got on very well. After a long conversation with him S’bu discovered that unless the young man were threatening Thandi, there’s was no way to get the law involved in the matter. He had to come up with another plan to get the man to back off and leave Thandi alone. He was interrupted by a call from Mandy.S’bu they took Thandi!, Mandi shouted frantically over the phone. S’bu could not make out the details as Mandy was now sobbing over the phone. He go
When they got to Mandy’s home, Thandi took some painkillers and went to sleep in Mandy bedroom.S’bu called Zake again to update him of what has happened since they spoke that morning. S’bu’s worry now was that even though Sivu was arrested the other eight young man were not and could still hurt Thandi. Zake managed to get emergency restraining orders for the eight and were delivered to each one of them by the police. The young man were very shaken by receiving a formal document from the police. They did not intend on doing anything illegal or hurt Thandi in anyway. When they heard what Sivu did they were shocked, they joined the group to irritate S’bu not destroy their lives. If they got arrested and had a criminal record, it will be very hard for them to get employment in the future.Thandi was woken up by Mandy an hour later telling her that aunt Noli, Mr and M
It had been eight days since S’bu’s video was released and three days since Thandi was abducted and almost raped. S’bu’s wall was still full of comments his friends, followers and strangers had written. Having made sure that Thandi was safe and managed to catch up with his university work that he missed when he was home, he decided to make a statement.A few days ago I was recorded without consent and that video clip and a photo of me and Thandi was shared on university‘s student page and all over social media. Some cowards who had a problem with me decided to target Thandi, a school pupil who had never offended them. With the personal information some of of you shared here, she was insulted, abducted and nearly raped. You should be ashamed of yourselves but more importantly be ready because I’m coming for everyone who contributed in all of this. By the way 4S is an understatement,
Please come and sit down, S’bu invited Thandi to a section of the lounge next to the pool table behind the sofas. Thandi followed and suddenly stopped.What’s this? she asked looking at S’bu. There was a huge rug with rose petals on the floor and two big cushions on opposite ends. The middle of it was fruits, snacks and sweets. It looked like a picnic setting for lovers.Well, with everything I going to be explaining to you, I’m going to get hungry and since I didn’t know what you liked I got everything I could find, he lied. Please sit down, S’bu said pointing at one of the cushions on the rug and he went to sit on the other one opposite Thandi. He clapped his hands twice and suddenly soft romantic music started playing and the lights in the room changed to different colours.Can we talk about G now, Thandi asked impatiently.&nbs
Mr J, G and his team all traveled to Johannesburg where S’bu studied. They were joined by Menzi on the way who was coming from his university in Durban.When Thandi told them her worry, Mr J took it very serious because he had tried calling his son a day before but did not get him. That was not unusual with his socialite son but he always returned his Father’s calls. This time he had not done so and 24 hours had passed.Menzi was also worried because after not getting hold of his brother for three days. Their friends who were in university with S’bu had not seen him for three days and he had not attended his lectures.There was nothing suspicious in S’bu’s flat except that he was not there. His neighbours had not seen him for three days, they thought he had gone home. His friends had also gathered to try and find him.G who had taken a call, came back with a worried face. Mr J knew he must have found something and it was not good, judging fr
