Mayville is a place near Durban and is under development as you know our government, in Mayville there is a lot of shacks, other area RDP and other area big house’s.
It was morning when Zama locked the one room she was sharing with Sindy and went to a Shop
“My friend will be happy to meet you,” said Vusi smiling
” You too rude you don’t even greet me let alone the fact that you don’t even know me,’ Zama annoyed by the behaviour of Vusi
“I’m Vusi Dube; my home is up there near that container,” Vusi pointing a container that block a view of his home
Zama suddenly smile ‘ I’m Zama Dube, that’s means you are my brother” she quickly hug Vusi and said “I stay with my sister there” she point to a one room that was built near RDP house
Vusi knew Sindy but they never speak not even to greet each other it’s just a passing by, he just said ” I know her but i never she is my sister always angry and this attitude of I’m me”
They both laugh talk a little and Vusi took his way home and Zama keep going to Shop
Zama wasn’t hurry coz she was alone at her new home with her sister working and she were keen to see a place coz she was new just only the 3rd day at Mayville
On her way way home from shop, Senzo were waiting patiently for her just to talk with a new girl nothing else ” hey hope you are fine, tjo I’ve been walking alone and this guy who think he is might God came late in his office he even forget that we are the one who put him there”
Zama laugh and watch this stranger who talk none stop” if i may ask whose this guy you telling me about?” Zama ask confused
“Ooh sorry I mean a ward councillor, i waited there when i were about to leave he just popped up as if he were watching me” he pause and glance at Zama who was quiet smiling at a stranger, he said ” sorry with my boring story. I’m Senzo anyway my home is down there after that passage and I know you are new here because i know every soul who leave here and I hope they know me too even if they just notice me i would be glad’ he looked Zama in her eyes and said ” are you okay?”
Zama said “I’m fine it’s just that I’m not used to a person like you Senzo”
Senzo were embarassed but he didn’t show her” you mean i talk too much my dawg you to tell me that…’ before he finish his statement
