It’s sunset, I spent the day with my mother talking and catching up on stuff. Now it’s time to get on with what am here to do, I walked to the backroom where my mother’s shrine is and she was already busy doing her thing. I took my shoes off and went in. I sat on the grass mat and watched my mother do what she does best, witchcraft!
“As you know, no witchcraft used on the prince will work just like that, give me at least a picture of him to use.” My mother says “I have it in my bag I will go and get it.” I went back to the house and got the picture from my bag then went back to the backroom. “Her
Ghost/TokeloI have been waiting for this guy for a while now, am sure he wants me to sweat before he comes and gives me whatever news he has for me. I just hope its good news or at least something I can negotiate. I was snapped out of my thoughts by a guard hitting on the bars with a baton making one hell of a noise, which I don’t even know why guards always feel its necessary to make their presence known by doing that.He gets in front of my cell and stands there looking at me as if sizing me up. I remained seated and waited for him to say his peace. “El prisionero se levanta!” ‘prisoner stand up!’
Tokelo/GhostIt’s been three weeks since I have returned home and business is doing very well, both my law firm and my other business. The Mexican cartel kept their word and cut ties with Tsietsi’s father, then flew me back and met Lebo at the airport for their diamonds. I also went through the contract they gave me and signed. It was a good deal after all.Today am meeting Leo at the warehouse, he called me to tell me that he has found the mole, one that has been working with the king of BaTlakwana and I can’t wait to get my hands on that son of a bitch. I am going to make him wish he was never born, am driving to the ware house listening to jazz thin
Ghost/TokeloWhen he got out of the warehouse he went to his car and drove off. He went to his safe place, the beach to cool off and think. ‘how could Tools do this to me’ ‘how can he betray me this way?’ ‘he was my brother for God sake. Why could he not just ask me for money when he needed it instead of choosing this route, the one he knew very well will lead him to his grave.’ As he was deep in thought his phone vibrated in his pocket.He fished it out of his pocket and checked who the caller was. The princess’s name flashed on the screen and a smile
Bakoena kingdomAfter the mystery man and the elders finished admiring the throne room, they went back to the living room where a guard they came with was waiting. “What took so long? And I thought you were going to stay in the car and let us do the job.” The guard said to the man. “And miss the chance to see the beauty of my palace? Never!” answered the man not even bothered.“We are running out of time.” Reminded elder Simon. “Right! Lead the way.” Said the man eager to get this through. They followed each other up the stairs then separated with each one going a different direction in searc
Mapula When I turned, I felt that my body was sore, when did my bed get so hard? I wondered; mother must buy me a new bed. I tried to move but it seems I have a lot of blankets on me and it is hot. I tried moving the blanket and poked my head out. Only to realise that I have a pile of clothes on top of me, I looked around and found that am in the closet.But how did I get here? Because am sure I slept on the bed last night. I stood up but a headache hit me hard and a fell on my knees. I closed my eyes and as soon as I did, I saw a vison. There was blood in the palace and a lot
BaTloung KingdomKing LetsiIts been a month since Thabiso came back from South Africa and still has not set foot in the palace. He never called or sent word to us, we only heard from his friend that he was back and thought he will come for a visit but he never did. My prince has always been a well-behaved young man, yes growing up he was naughty like other children.He drank alcohol like his age mates and experimented with things like anyone growing up trying to figure themselves out. He sneaked in girls in the palace but stop
It’s Thursday and my day to rest without a man next to me. But I must say I like the competition between these two, each one wants to do more than the other, the gifts I have been getting are amazing and expensive too. My phone rings and I picked it up from the coffee table then checked who the caller was. It’s that damn Lesego aah! he drives me crazy acting like Thabiso’s savior, why can’t he just get a life?“Thabiso is not here” that’s what I said when I answered the phone. “What the hell did you do to him?” he yells at me. “Hey! Hey! Hey! Just because he is not here doesn’t mean I did something to him.” I replied pissed that he even dared to raise his voice at me. “I know he is not there but I want
Three weeks have passed, holidays were over and it was time for me to go back to Cape Town. I am starting my last year of high school and am excited even though the workload is going to be a lot. Fortunately, Kwezi and I have tutors and they are going to start working with us from next week when the schools open. Everything has been going well on my side and I have enjoyed my time back home more than I thought I would.Since this year started, I have been feeling like a new person, I don’t know how to explain it but I feel different, more confident, and more powerful if I may put it that way. Am sad about not seeing Thabiso throughout the holiday period, talking about him, I have been having weird dreams about him, and in the dream, I see a clay pot placed under a bed with
