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
Son, can you hear me, Mr J asked shaking his son. S’busiso, he called him again but no response followed. S’bu had bruises all over but no deep wounds.G made some calls, the ambulance arrived within 20 minutes and took S’bu to hospital. He was assessed as having sustained a head injury and was taken for an emergency scan of the brain. After waiting for an hour, the admitting doctor came out to inform them that S’bu had fractures on his skull and unconscious but fortunately his brain was not affected. He was expected to make a full recovery but will be monitored in a high care unit for any complications.Mr J made a call to his wife informing her of the good news and spent the next hours informing and thanking everyone who assisted in looking for his son. It was already morning when he finally got to rest.Thandi had not been getting much sleep since S’bu went missing. When her phone rang she hurried to answer it. When she found out that it was Mrs J, her
Thandi had decided to avoid meeting S’bu until she can put her thoughts together but Mrs J asked her to come over and she could not refuse.When she got to the Jobe home, Mandy and Mrs J greeted her first. She was still hoping not to meet S’bu but unfortunately today he was sitting at the lounge and everyone was fussing over him.Hi S’bu, I’m glad you are ok? Thandi said with no emotion.Really?, no hugs?, no kiss?, S’bu said whimsically.Thandi blushed and dropped her head, how can S’bu say these things with his Mother around? she wanted to run and hide.It seems you are still in denial about your feelings. Let me help you out. If I died, would you have come here as a mourner or a comforter? S’bu asked smiling.Comforter of course, Thandi lied.Then why the middle of the night sobbing? S’bu asked.Mrs J! How could you tell him that!, Thandi exclaimed. The other night when Mrs J called her, she misundersto
The royal palace was buzzing with noise and excitement as everyone anticipated the arrival of the King. He always came to welcome them personally and this made the girls feel very special.Soon the royal poet was heard praising the King and everyone bowed down as the King walked in behind his poet.He welcomed them like he always did every year. Informed them of the importance of keeping their traditions especially now that most youths had turned to western ways. He informed them of their value as the stars of the nation and encouraged them to stay pure.The Queen’s spoke after the King teaching girls about life issues and problems facing young women like teenage pregnancies, rape and elderly man preying on young girls: the so called Blessers or Sugar daddies.When all the speeches were done, the girls had their virginity tests and given their certificates. They were served the best food and by mid day they headed back.When they go
