Phoyisa: You are under arrest for the murder of Mr Dlamini. We heard from a reliable source that this bloodied t-shirt is the same t-shirt that was worn by Mr Dlamini on the day he was shot. There is blood and bullet holes in it!

Sanelisiwe: UJacob akasiye umbulali! Ubengeke abulale ubaba!

Phoyisa: Anything you say now can be used against you in a court of law.
