(Nzaliseko is in the secretary of Fresh Milk Company’s office. They are discussing the new route that Nzaliseko will be driving to deliver milk.)

Nzaliseko: You must give me the map of the new stores that I have to deliver milk to.

Secretary: I will give you a map of the entire Western Cape. I was looking at the book you log your deliveries in and I noticed that your deliveries are taking longer than it did when you first started at this company. I think you have to improve your speed on the freeway.

Nzaliseko: The traffic jams on the road are the main problem.

Secretary: Nzaliseko, you are delivering milk to the same stores the whole year. As a driver, you need to improve. You must know all the directions to the stores and you should take the shortest route.

Nzaliseko: Yes, I always do that. I try to analyse everything that’s happening on the road.

Secretary: Maybe you don’t go straight from here to your deliveries like you are supposed to. I think there are high chances that you are going to the township and sorting out your personal problems before you go and deliver the milk to the stores like you are meant to.

Nzaliseko: How dare you accuse me of something I didn’t do. I’m very committed and dedicated to my job: I’m the only driver who works overtime without complaining. If you want to get me fired and give my job to one of your family members, it’s fine, but don’t ever lie about my dedication to the company.

Secretary: All I am asking is for you to use the shortest routes for your deliveries; I have nothing personal against you. I am a professional person who is very dedicated to her work and here you are implying that I promote nepotism in the workplace!

Nzaliseko: I thought you were trying to discourage me.

Secretary: I’m very professional and I want us to work as a team.

(The Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Lesley Bright, enters the secretary’s office.)

Mr. Lesley Bright: What is the meaning of all this yelling in here?

Secretary: Sorry sir, it was not a big deal. I just told Nzaliseko to improve his speed when he is driving the bakkie to deliver the milk to the stores. I also told him that he must choose all the shortest routes to the stores.

Mr. Lesley Bright: I don’t think that could have been a big enough deal to cause a lot of noise.

Nzaliseko: I’ve been working for the company for more than three years. I’m the only driver in the company who never had a car accident on the road. She is talking about me driving faster, but she doesn’t know the increase of speed might cause a car accident or get me fined by the traffic department.

Secretary: Nzaliseko, don’t take it personally. I told you what I told you because I love the company and wants its drivers to be faster on the road.

Nzaliseko: You didn’t explain it to me that way. You were rather confronting me as somebody who uses the company’s car for my own benefit.

Mr. Lesley Bright: It’s fine, all of us must leave the problem behind us. We must make sure we do everything to improve the services and products of the company.

(Nzaliseko falls down on the ground, seizing up.)

Secretary: My God, what is happening now?

Mr. Lesley Bright: Unexpected things happen: you must call the ambulance.

Secretary: Sir, what is the problem? Oh my God. Is he still breathing?

Mr Lesley Bright: Yes, he is still breathing, but he suffers from seizure disease.

(The secretary presses the telephone land-line to call an ambulance.)

Secretary: Sorry sir, I’m the secretary of Sea-grass Dairy Company. Our driver just suffered from seizure disease. Can you send an ambulance and take him to Sea-grass hospital?

Mr Lesley Bright: Who is the driver that was supposed to be off today?

Secretary: It’s Muzi Khonya, sir.

Mr. Lesley Bright: Call him and tell him that he must come to work within forty-five minutes.

Secretary: I will do so, sir.

Mr. Lesley Bright: I must throw water on his head. You can mop it up when everybody is gone.

(Mr. Lesley Bright throws water on Nzaliseko.)

Secretary: Hello, Muzi, I just want to tell you Nzaliseko fell ill at work. He suffered from seizure disease. He was supposed to deliver milk to some stores. Mr. Lesley is asking you to come and take over from him and deliver the milk to the destined places.

Muzi Khonya: Ok, I will be at work soon.

(The first aid people arrive.)

Mr. Lesley Bright: Guys, as you heard on the phone, the poor man just fell down. We realized it’s a seizure.

First aid nurse: We must take him into the ambulance. The most important thing for a patient is that is he still breathing. We can see he is still breathing.

(The first aid people put Nzaliseko on a stretcher and take him into the ambulance.)

Tell us: Do you suspect any foul play in Nzaliseko’s seizure or do you think it was from natural causes?
