Later that night, Khalipha receives a text on WhatsApp from Mr Ngxaka.

MR NGXAKA: I hope you have done your homework.

KHALIPHA: (smiling) Of course, I wouldn’t want to be punished again.

MR NGXAKA: Good, you should be sleeping now. You have school tomorrow.

KHALIPHA: (still smiling) We both have school tomorrow, sir.

MR NGXAKA: Yes, but I am an adult, and you are a child.

KHALIPHA: I am not a child, sir.

MR NGXAKA: You forgot your lunch money.

KHALIPHA: That was a mistake. Adults make mistakes, sir.

MR NGXAKA: Oh, so you’re an adult?

KHALIPHA: That is what I have been trying to tell you, sir.

MR NGXAKA: Wow, I would love to see that feistiness in person. (He then deletes the message.) See you tomorrow. You still have detention with me.

KHALIPHA: OK, sir.

MR NGXAKA: You can leave out the sir on social media.

KHALIPHA: OK, Ngxaka. (She puts a red heart emoji and then deletes it.)

Tell us: What do you think is happening? What do you think of Mr Ngxaka’s behaviour towards Khalipha?
