(At Zulu’s house.)

(Zulu and Bhengu are having a discussion about the arranged marriage between Zulu and Thabile.)

Zulu: How can you let her go study that far? What if she can’t fulfil our promises? What if she finds a boyfriend there that gets her pregnant? (Zulu is furious.)

Bhengu: Hlisa umoya, Zulu. (Calm down, Zulu) I know my daughter, she will never disobey me. Relax, everything will go according to plan.

Zulu: It’s easy for you to say. You know I’ve always loved your daughter. My wife is finally accepting that Thabile will be her sister wife.

Bhengu: That’s good. As soon as she graduates she will get married to you. Let me go now, we will get in touch.

Zulu: (He extends his hands for a handshake.) Go well.

(At Bhengu’s house.)

Macele: I fail to understand how can you choose a man for our daughter, let alone Zulu out of the men out there. (She claps her hands.)

Bhengu: Better shut up if you have nothing to say.

Macele: Baba kodwa…

Bhengu: Macele! Macele! Are you now the man of this house? Thabile will marry Zulu whether you like it or not.
