Narrator: Keitumetse has phoned Gorata. She asked her to meet as there is something serious she needs to talk about, and it is urgent. They meet at the park.

Gorata: What is it Keitumetse? You sounded so upset on the phone.

Keitumetse: (Crying) I am upset! I’m so sick of Lesego. I think he only wants me for what he can get from me. He’s pushing me all of the time. Make more money! We need more money! Work harder! And now he has pushed me – to do this!

Gorata: What? What has he done? Please, tell me. I’m scared. What has Lesego forced you to do?

Keitumetse: To give Letsholo a bribe to get the tender! I lied to you. Letsholo did want me to give him a kickback. I told Lesego. He said that I was stupid … that this was how things were done. He said I must agree. So I did. Now I have the tender. But it’s more … now Letsholo wants more. And I can see now it will never stop. I have put myself in a prison by agreeing to do this. And now it’s too late! I’ve been so, so stupid.

Gorata: Oh Keitumetse! I’m sorry. Lesego should not have convinced you to do such a thing. I knew it though! Somehow from that first night I didn’t trust Letsholo. There was just something about him that was not right, a weakness. Only weak people operate like that.

Keitumetse: But what am I going to do now? Gorata, I don’t see any way out!

Gorata: Listen, you know my friend Dave. He’s in the anti-corruption unit. I will talk to him. I’ll explain everything. You have not received any money or paid any bribes. You can help them and I’m sure you won’t be charged.

Keitumetse: Help them how?

Gorata: Help them stop Letsholo.

Narrator: Keitumetse thinks about it for a moment.

Keitumetse: You know, Gorata, I didn’t even want that tender. I don’t even want to buy a house. I like things to go slowly. I’ll get a house for me and Toto when I can afford it properly. Everything was suddenly moving too fast for me.

Gorata: So will you do it?

Keitumetse: Lesego will be furious … but yes! Yes, I’ll do it. Letsholo and all like him need to be stopped. It’s not fair to honest business people like me that these things are going on.
