On his way to class, Zesipho, the girl Mr Ngxaka had an encounter with, approaches him.

ZESIPHO: Ngxaka. We have a problem.

MR NGXAKA: I am your teacher, Zesipho. Address me as such.

ZESIPHO: I am sorry, sir. I didn’t take a morning pill.

MR NGXAKA: So what?

ZESIPHO: What do you mean what, sir?

MR NGXAKA: Listen, I have a girlfriend, and this outdated man-trapping strategy of yours will not work on me.

ZESIPHO: This is not about trapping you! My parents will kill me if they find out.

MR NGXAKA: What do you want from me?

ZESIPHO: If I am pregnant, I am not going to hide that it’s yours.

MR NGXAKA: Ligeza na eli? You are bearing no child of mine. Just leave me alone and go to class.
