Sifiso is frail as human bones fed to a wake of vultures.Dawn sets upon the ground , stones burn underneath his feet.A sweltering heat wave roasts the blue sky .Sifiso could feel the blood underneat his own skin boil in scalding temperatures draughting every single drop of water in its path.” In order to curb the thirst in his dry throat , Sifiso soaks his own sweat with his vest into the palm of a hand and drinks from it.He is almost certain he is a dead Man , hoping to draw one last breath but Sifiso’s ice cold heart is full of vengence and doesn’t stop pounding and he remains alive. Wrestling against the ground ,his legs begin to break down and fails to outpace his arching body , the pain remains a step ahead of him.” Shadrack , where are you , I’m dying ,” begged Sifiso, speaking to his lawyer on a phone call.” What do you mean by dying Sir ?,” his lawyer asked.

” Do you remember the curse , I told you about ?,” Sifiso said , crawling on the ground.”Yes Sir I remember,” replied his lawyer.” I think I’m starting to experience its deadly symptoms , the more I kill , the more I become sick,” Sifiso vomitted all over himself.” So Sir , wheres the police van you were driving ?,” asked his lawyer.” I had to ditch it under a bridge, I also got rid of the police uniform to prevent myself from any attention,” Sifiso said.” Then what are you wearing Sir , If I may ask ?,” said the lawyer.” I am dressed as a homeless man , to make sure nobody recognises me ,” explained Sifiso.” What can I do to help you sir ?,” asked the lawyer.” Did you get my fake passport and flight tickets,”Sifiso asked.” Yes Sir , all your documents are in order , ,” replied the lawyer.” Now bring me a doctor, someone I can trust,” Sifiso said.

Heat waves fires through a hot day while the brutal sun persist to scorche the earth.”Mr Mathebula , I have arrived , where are you Sir “shouted Sifiso’s lawyer while his naked eyes gazed through the barbed wired fence enclosing the whole place.” who’s that ?,” a blindfolded Sifiso suddenly hears footsteps coming towards him.His lawyer , Shadrack approaches.” Are you alright Sir ,” the lawyer asks.” Help me Shadrack , the curse is killing me ,” a fragile Sifiso cried .” Oh my goodness , who did this to you Sir, what happened to your eyes ?,” the lawyer takes off his Jacket and covers It around Sifiso’s back.” give me your right hand Sir ,” he helps him to his feet and walks with him to his car.”Hang in there Sir , we are not that far from the hospital,” the lawyer said.On the way to the hospital , Sifiso  sits on a passenger seat of the car while the lawyer is on the wheel driving speedily.In a hurry , Sifiso could hear the rush in the lawyer’s voice , almost as if he was the one dying instead of him.” Shadrack did you manage to get my fake passport? ,” asked Sifiso , right before dosing off on the front passenger seat.

A couple of weeks goes by , Sifiso is in a hospital’s operational unit and lays still on the bed with his eyes open.He is fully awake when the doctor arrives to check on him.” where’s my lawyer Shadrack ?,” asked Sifiso.The doctor looks perplexed a bit and takes off his eyeglasses.” A lawyer ? , I don’t know who you are referring to ma’am,” the doctor replies.Sifiso becomes shaken by this and attempts to jump off the bed.” Why are you calling me ma’am? ,I’m not a woman ,” barked Sifiso . “What do you mean lady?,you are a woman I’m not mistaken ,” hesitated the doctor , preventing him from climbing off the bed.” No I’m not ,” exclaimed Sifiso ” Yes you are lady ,look at yourself !” replied the doctor handing Sifiso a small mirror. “Aaaaah!, whats happening to me ? ,” screamed a horror-struct Sifiso, staring at himself on the mirror.” Who did this to me?,”Sifiso screamed. 

Sifiso was no longer a strong musculer  physique man , who had a baritone voice, big hands , a beard and a penis with a hairy body.Instead Sifiso’s male gender was changed and transitioned into a slender ,lookalike young woman , with breast on her body, tender soft facial features ; his eye brows cut ,his skin was light in complexion and glossy ; his fingernails polished with shiny manicure and he also had a vigina “A plastic surgeon gave us instructions and threatened us at gun point, to operate on your entire body,” said the doctor , showing Sifiso medical diagrams; pictures of cut body parts and female make up kits.”He said that he’ll kill us and our families If we didnt do what he wanted,” said the terrified doctor.” So we did what he told us , we performed a sex reassignment surgery on your body by removing all your male testicles, replacing them with that of female genitals,” the doctor explained.

“Hi doctor,” one of the nurses in the hospital entered through the door.” I ran into a courier delivery guy in passage wall by the cafeteria,” said the nurse, handing the doctor a cellphone.” He gave me this phone , saying that it has only one cell number on it and told me to give it to the patient, Mr Mathebula to call him ,” the nurse continued.

“Hello Mr Mathebula Sir , its me Shadrack,” answered the man on the other side of the call.” Shadrack where the hell are you, who did this to me? ,” replied an enraged Sifiso.” I’m so sorry sir , I tried to stop them,” said his lawyer.” What do you mean by  stopping them?,” asked Sifiso with his eyes wide in shock.”Our business partners , criminal associates and the rest of our clients , see you as a complete liability to us all, most of them said that since you are wanted by police , they did not feel safe anymore ,If you get caught again and sent to jail, you might become a rat or snitch and expose us all,” the lawyer explained. ” So they turned me into a bitch to hide my identity ?,” raged Sifiso.”I’m afraid so Mr Mathebula Sir ,” replied the lawyer.
