Andile: Amandla!
Students: Awethu!
Andile: Students thanks for your time, as you know we had an meeting with school board.
Student 3: (interrupts Andile’s speech) What was their response?
Andile: Calm down please give me time I’ll let you know what happened inside the board room.
Sandiswa: Andile just go straight to their answer.
Andile: Students Miss Zondi disagrees with us and she said there will be no sport in this school as long as she is still our deputy principal.
Student: Down with Miss Zondi, down!
Andile: Students as you all know that on March 3 it will be an election day, I won’t be there due to suspension.
Njabulo: What? Who suspended you?
Sandiswa: Who else if it not Miss Zondi? Andile picked up a fight with Miss Zondi at board room about being the voice of the students.
[Students start singing political song]
Andile: Calm down students, as you know I won’t be around the school for a long period, I have decided to step down from being the president.
[Waving hand and saying Amandla]
Students: (singing) We need Andile, bring back our president. Down with Miss Zondi, down!
[In principal office Mr Zulu, Mr Luvino and Mr Ntuli]
Mr Luvino: Tell me what’s going on in this school now?
Mr Zulu: L.P suspended the students’ leader and now they need him back.
Mr Luvino: L.P is so stubborn, what if the students report her at department of high education?
Mr Ntuli: That will be her problem, we tried to warn her but she didn’t listen, so now we have to sit back and watch
[The bell rings and everybody leave school premises. At the gate there are 6 members of SRC]
Lindy: Tomorrow guys we will fight for Andile and we need DHD contact details.
Njabulo: I will try to get the numbers and guy we need to have news reporter at school tomorrow.
Andile: I will get the Greytown Gazet reporter. I’m sure he will like our story.
Sizwe: Guys we don’t need her anymore after this. Let’s meet early tomorrow.
Sandiswa: Bye guys.
[Early morning and Andile is on his way to SRC office, he collides with Miss Zondi]
Miss Zondi: Didn’t you hear me?
Andile: I did and I respected you but you only suspended me from school not SRC so if you will excuse me I have a meeting to attend
Miss Zondi: (with anger) You are so rude I don’t want to see you in this school anymore!
Andile : (smiling) Well we will see about that because I know you are not the principal yet so you have no power.
[Miss Zondi with angry while Andile leaves her standing there. Andile enters the office]
Andile: The reporter is here and I just met Miss Zondi.
Sizwe: What did she say?
Andile: She said she doesn’t want to see me here anymore and now I say let her chase me out of this school. Lindy call all students to the assembly point now.
