(Nzaliseko knocks on the door of his house on a Sunday morning.)

Nzaliseko: It seems like there is no one inside the house.

Nomthandazo: We didn’t expect you to come back home so soon, baby. I must thank the Lord for bringing you back alive and strong.

Nzaliseko: I also thank God for giving me a second chance to live.

Nomthandazo: You came back earlier than when the traditional healer said you were going to leave her house. I bet the traditional healer’s house and lifestyle was very boring for you.

Nzaliseko: I came back because I am feeling healthy and strong, and I want to tell you something. When I was sick, I was thinking about my mother. In the past, when I wanted to send my mother anything, you refused and told me that my other siblings in Gauteng must be responsible for my mother’s life and her problems.

Nomthandazo: Nzaliseko, why are you talking about the past now?

Nzaliseko: Inside, I felt like you are a very selfish person. You took a lot of my money and gave it to your parents, but you always complained when I wanted to give my parents something.

Nomthandazo: I took a lot of our money and gave it to my parents because I wanted them to forgive me for falling pregnant before marriage. I also wanted to show them that the father of my child is a responsible person. I never thought that these things were going to become a problem.

Nzaliseko: Don’t ever talk about marriage because I will never marry you.

Nomthandazo: I don’t understand you, Nzaliseko. Why are you so aggressive today?

Nzaliseko: I want you to take all your clothes and leave my house immediately. I don’t want anything to do with you.

Nomthandazo: What went wrong, baby?

Nzaliseko: Nomthandazo, please, I don’t want to have to be rude to you, please just take everything that belongs to you and leave my house.

Nomthandazo: I don’t know what is happening to you, baby.

Nzaliseko: If you don’t take your clothes and everything that belongs to you and leave, I will put everything that is yours on the street.

Nomthandazo: Fine, I will take everything that is mine and leave your house, but what about our baby?

Nzaliseko: I will support my child. I will send R800.00 into your bank account every month so that you can look after our child, but I don’t want anything to do with you.

Nomthandazo: Nzaliseko, please don’t chase us away.

Nzaliseko: I am giving you twenty minutes before you take everything that is yours out of my house.

Tell us: What do you think about the way Nzaliseko is treating Nomthandazo?
