MAZULU :Ngena!
PRINCINCIPAL :Good morning!
MAZULU :Yes! What’s wrong?
SIPHO :Good morning mama!
MAZULU :Yes!
PRINCINCIPAL :We came to discuss the problem that happened.
MAZULU :What happened? (Worried)
PRINCINCIPAL :Londi got into a fight.
MAZULU :So?
SIPHO :She broke someone’s leg. She attacked me.
MAZULU :Londi cannot do that.
PRINCINCIPAL :Unfortunately she did.
MAZULU :Yoh! This child is a mess.
PRINCINCIPAL :Why?
MAZULU :She is pregnant!
PRINCINCIPAL :Where is she?
MAZULU :(Crying) I kicked her out of my house. I regret myself. She has been crying!
PRINCINCIPAL :Did you inform the police?
MAZULU :No I wanted to..
SIPHO :So did she tell you anything.
MAZULU :She told me that it was not her fault to fall pregnant. What if she is going to kill herself?
PRINCINCIPAL :Don’t worry about that!
MAZULU :I want my child more than anything.
PRINCINCIPAL :Be strong mama!
MAZULU :You know that I can sue this school. My child got impregnated by the teacher but I don’t remember the surname.
PRINCINCIPAL : I don’t know that but please don’t sue us.
SIPHO :Your child created a mess and now she blames the teachers. She is dating one of the boys.
MAZULU :My child was a virgin.
SIPHO :You parents are always defending your children.
PRINCINCIPAL :Shut up! Mr Thuso!
SIPHO :This woman is….

PRINCINCIPAL :Please stop! You are grown now!
MAZULU :You think I am soft like anyone.
SIPHO :It is obvious that you teach your own child to be a bully.
MAZULU :God! (She hurries up to fetch her sjambok. She comes back again, waving it.)

PRINCINCIPAL :We will leave you in peace.
MAZULU :Hawu! (She hits Sipho on the back.)
SIPHO :(Running away)
PRINCINCIPAL :We…
MAZULU :Hamba khwebula ndini!
