Original subtitles

Oh, wow.

In my day, we'd send over sensible gifts, you know.

Like chicken. Do you know a live chicken?

Yes. Or a sheep's head.

Not like these kasi-rolls that you all make.

It's casserole, Mavis.

Lord, give me strength.

And folks, as we explore KwaMashu, you will feel the vibrancy,

the life, the friendliness of the people.

You can't get this anywhere else.

Okay, ladies and gentlemen,

that's the end of our tour.

I hope you enjoyed it. Please don't forget to tip.

And don't forget to pay for those lovely and amazing T-shirts that you've got on.

Thank you! Thank you very much.

Thank you! Thank you.

I thought you said these T-shirts were complimentary.

Yeah, no! I said I give compliments, sir.

You look very nice.

You look like a… a white Denzel Washington.

You're handsome.

Make it snappy, girls. Fold that thing nicely.

- Wow, Dad! You're exploiting us. - Wow. Wow.

How's it going?

My love.

You walked here?

I just wanted to feel

- KwaMashu one last time. - Hm? Yes.

Mom, in the trash?

Do you know what that billboard did for you?

Huh?

How do you think

- your school fees were paid? - Oh,

- we are so sorry! - You've been telling us this story.

- Lu, you be quiet! - You know what?

What do you think was feeding you all these years?

- Sorry then. - Okay.

And what's with the dirt in the house?

This is not just dirt.

It's Mavis Miracle Mud, if you didn't know.

This is traditional medicine,

passed from generation to generation.

- I'm gonna miss this house. - Same.

KwaMashu.

Do you think we're doing the right thing?

Yeah.

- Say, "Bye, KwaMashu!" - Bye, KwaMashu!

Wow, Grace, Grace, Grace.

No.

- No. Dismiss that thought. - Morning, morn…

Hello, Sizwe.

It's for the neighbours.

- But there's so much, we can... - Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thanks.

- Hello, boy-boy. - Hello!

Mrs Steinberg says our neighbours are politicians.

Mrs Steinberg thinks every Black person

- who lives here is a politician. - Shh, shh, shh, shh. Silence.

Good morning, everyone.

Just letting you know that the new people have arrived.

So cute!

- Let's go! - Let's get them!

Let's get them!

- One, two, three, go! Let's go! - I hope these people

have understood the way the estate works.

Hi, everyone.

- I'm still looking for my cat Fransie. - Nobody cares about your cat.

Not off to a good start.

What's with all the singing and the dancing?

- Yeah, yeah! - My love!

Hello, lovelies.

I want everyone to relax.

I have everything under control.

And yes, Linda, I do have the code of conduct printed,

bound and put in hard copy.

But I'm thinking, let's give it to them on the second day

and allow them to just settle in.

So everyone, relax.

Grace has got this.

Thank you.

Because soon, they'll meet the Khumalos.

Phe-phe.

Mommy!

You don't think we should invite the neighbours for your memulo?

After all, white people love those things.

They love them.

What? The whole estate?

No, Mom. It's Memulo.

Not Fyre Fest.

Aaah… I think there's somebody at the gate.

- People already? - I think it's the neighbours.

Okay, let's go and meet them.

Put on your best smile.

Hm! Hm-hm.

- Hey. - Hm, Okay.

- Smiling. - Okay.

The Sitholes! The Jobes.

Here we come.

Khumalos, here we go! Smile.

‎ Mh!

- Ma. - Grace.

Uh…

Hi! Welcome, everybody, to the neighbourhood.

- Um… I am... - Leaving.

- We are leaving. - What?

- Thank you. We're leaving. Ma. - Yes.

- Leaving. We're leaving, Ma. - Go! Go!

- Stop dancing, Vusi. - Leaving!

Go back to whatever sewerage you came out of!

This is a very classy neighbourhood.

The only sewerage is you.

The only thing that smells like it.

- Let's go. - Get back inside the house!

There goes the neighborhood.

Get back in the house! Didn't you hear me?!

Back in the house!

How do you know them?

I don't know them.

I used to know her and she is the most deceitful.

- Judgemental. - Backstabbing.

Narcissistic.

- Witch! - Witch.

You will not look at, or even speak to.

Or dare breathe in the direction of that family.

Is that clear?

Is that clear?

Good.

You're right on time.

You wanna talk about it?

Mm-mm. I don't want to talk about it.

What did that woman do to you?

- Nothing, I just hate her. - She just hates me.

And she's cruel and cannot be trusted.

And I never wanna see her again.

What?

No! What?!

No, feelings are for failures.

Yes! Yes! No, but we then need to do it properly.

No! No remorse! Yes!

We go for the testicles!

- That's illegal. - Shh!

I'm in a meeting.

Wha...

Are you serious right now?

Well, I'm saying that they're not right for the neighbourhood.

You follow what I say because it's my right

as the head of the body corporate!

You are supposed to be my bulldog, Barry.

So, start biting!

We have standards to uphold.

I don't want to judge you, but you look like a crazy woman.

You're judging me.

Hello! Oh, Mom,

- I'm stealing your car, yeah? - Take your dad and I'll get

- you a brand new car. - You what?

- Take him before he dies. - Okay.

Take him.

- Okay, let me go. - Let's go, let's go.

She thinks she can invade my privacy?

Okay, you want something to watch?

I'll give you a show.

That's for you, Gracious.

You Satan!

You know, someone is going to die today! I'm going to kill someone today.

- I'm from KwaMashu! - Mom, what's wrong?

That woman thinks she can run me!

Me! I'm Bongi Goodmore Sithole.

Over my dead body!

Get her, Goodmore wakwaMashu!

Stop it.

You're so unserious.

Oh, no, no, no, no!

What in the informal settlement is going on here?

Oh, no.

You can't do that!

- I just did. - You cannot do that!

I said I just did.

Your move, you Satan.

Grace, come quickly. Run so we can watch Sizwe!

To be continued.

- Grace, have you seen my cat? - Darling.

Who cares about your damn cat, woman?

- Hurry up! Hurry up, man! - I'm coming!

I was busy out there

- with that crazy Bongi. - Turn it on, turn it on!

Volume.

This house believes

in an authoritarian model -

-where the parent knows -Sizwe!

- What's best for the child. - Khumalo.

- Master debater. - Parents aren't in charge of their

children's futures, they share this, - My grandson!

-and until that child turns 18, -Top master-bater!

- I'm telling you. - Then it's the parent who should

- Debater. - Make all the significant

decisions.

Well, this house boldly -

- Why am I being haunted? - Declares that both

-permissive and authoritative -What does this chick want there?

- Models can co-exist. - If a parent doesn't take charge

-of a child's future then athletes -Eat her, Sizwe.

-like David Beckham and Serena Williams -Eat her.

‎-wouldn't even exist. ‎-But champions aren't made

‎by helicopter parenting.

You see, they crafted

their greatness with their parent's guidance, not their control.

I think that my opponent needs to broaden her knowledge base.

And I think my opponent should jump off a cliff.

So? Do you still want me to jump off a cliff?

I want you to do exactly what you were just doing.

- Wait. - Hm-mm.

Are we gonna address the elephant in the room?

Perfect, what…

Right.

- The absolute shit show. Yeah. - Yeah. Mm-hm.

Like, so much for hard-launching our relationship.

I know, right? I had a speech prepared and everything.

- I know. - Yeah.

But like, what are the odds our parents would

- know each other? Like… - I know, right?

Does six months even really count as a relationship?

- Yes, okay? - Does it?

It counts for me.

Which is why, I booked our baecation.

- You did? - Mm-hm.

And we're still going?

Yeah, why wouldn't we?

Because our moms literally hate each other

- and we've literally been banned. - Yeah, I was thinking

maybe we just don't tell them.

Hm.

- Still in? - Mmm.

- Fine. - Mm-hm.

But no funny business.

- Yeah. - Not until after my memulo.

- Okay. Okay. - Mm-hm.

It will make you look beautiful.

Keep it on for 20 minutes before you rinse.

I think that's enough. Hm. It looks good.

Just a little more.

What's happening?

Let me just put a bit more here.

Why're you putting mud on her face?

No, my sister.

This is not mud.

This is traditional medicine.

I got terrible pain.

Will it help me?

Yes, it depends.

Where's the pain?

I've got a pain in my head, in my sides, in my back, in my a...

Yeah.

Yes, so you have pains everywhere?

It's called…

the daughter-in-law.

- What? Daughter-in-law? - Yeah.

I have the same pain.

- Oh, you too? - Her insults are like fire,

I tell you. Fire!

Oh, okay.

How much?

- Yes? - Love,

you need to stop monitoring those cameras.

Vusi, I asked you to stop micro-managing me.

It's becoming an obsession.

Your mental health.

Focus, Grace.

See, I lost her because I'm talking to you.

Now I can't see her! Where is she?

Do you know how you can help with my mental health?

Is getting that filth out of the garage and speaking to your mother

about that mud business of hers, because seriously.

Mental health.

Alrighty, fam-bam.

I'm out.

Oh, you're leaving already?

- Yeah. - You look beautiful.

- Thank you. - Have I told you how proud I am of you?

- Aww. - Aww. Aww.

All the time, Mommy.

Okay, let me go.

Yeah, when will you be back?

What fresh hell is this?

Like this has become my new life.

I'm in hell.

I need your car to get to the study camp in Ballito

and mine is only coming back on Monday, so…

No spinning, racing,

- or dicing! Is that clear? - Deal.

Deal.

What?

Is that Satan's son?

- Hi, Mommy. - Phe-phe.

Where are you?

I just got fetched by my friend from campus.

Which friend?

- Hmm? - My friend…

Nandi from campus.

And also, Mom, I have to go.

- I need to save my battery. - Phe-phe.

Phe...

How to find

peace from an annoying…

neighbour. Hm.

‎ Whoo. Okay.

Breathe in. Out.

You've got this.

Gracious!

Gracious!

The day I get my hands on that demon of yours...

Yoo-hoo! Good morning, dear.

Mrs Violin, good morning.

So sorry. Don't mind me.

- I just heard some shouting. - Excuse us.

We're just in a… cultural thing.

- Amandala. - Is ours!

Ours, ours!

Where do you think this is?

Coming here and shouting like you're selling fish.

Oh, I can't scream,

but your son can kidnap

- My son… Oh, no! - Innocent children?

So, you think my son with your daugh…

- She is not our type. - Go tell that to your son,

- you idiot! - I would if I could, but he isn't here.

- He's on a study retreat in Ballito. - With my Phe-phe.

Oh, my father

- must be turning in his grave. - No, I saw them leave in the car together.

Honestly, Bongi.

You need to take this bullshit

- and leave me alone. - Hey, you!

- What? What? - Hey you!

- Don't you dare talk to me like that! - What will you do about it?

- Gracious! Gracious! - What do you want from me?

- Shoo! - Gracious stop! Don't you

walk away from me!

Gracious, don't walk away from me!

Hey, you Satan! You second-hand!

You witch!

Hey, we got here in time.

I think we should take the scenic route.

- What do you think? Yeah? - Yes! Yes.

- Let's get some views! - Mm-hm. Oh, yeah.

Well, I mean, my view is perfect right here, so…

Babe, so sweet.

Sizwe, you sneaky little snake.

Who are you, Sizwe?

Are you even my son?

Yeah. Doctor Khumalo.

‎ Huh.

Oh, wow! Chiefs, the Boys of Peace and Tranquility.

‎Umm!

My brother! So you come here too?

You know, this is my hometown.

Desmond.

- Vusi. - Ah, Vusi.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Des, tell me,

- did you watch the game last night? - Don't even mention it!

It just causes me heartburn.

No, no, no.

You know, my friend, I feel like I'm in a toxic relationship.

Speak about toxic relationships.

What are you doing here?

I know where the kids are.

Oh, okay.

So now you believe me.

They are 45 minutes ahead of us.

- We need to go. - We?

- We. - Me and you?

- You and I. - Gracious, I am not going

- anywhere with you. - They are spending the night together.

I saw the booking, okay?

So we need to go.

And leave that food.

I'm not leaving my food. I eat when I'm stressed.

Then you're always stressed.

- Says a whole MJ. - Do you have a car?

- Yes, I do have a car. - Okay.

This is ridiculous.

- Just let me sit in the front seat. - No, no, no, no, no.

Honestly, there's no space here at the back.

Red robot.

Wow.

Are you seriously gonna eat right now?

Mm-hm.

Hey, how's the planning for umemulo going?

Yeah, it's going well.

Um, I have a few fittings and a rehearsal soon.

You're sorted with your traditional drip, right?

Traditional…

- Babe. - I… Well I do have a three-piece

fitted Armani suit, so.

- Armani? Oh wow! My oreo. - Mm-hm.

No! Please go traditional.

That's not going to happen, I'm sorry.

But I guarantee that when you see me in this suit,

oh, you're gonna fall for me all over again.

- Oh? Oh. - Guaranteed.

- Mmm. - Who even said I'd fallen at all?

Ouch.

Ouch, I didn't...

- Okay. - Yeah.

Sphe.

Yeah?

I want to tell you something.

I…

The view…

It's… it's amazing, right?

Yeah.

Yeah?

- Yeah. - Yep.

Okay, green, green! Here.

Okay.

Which way?

Uh-uh.

Uh! Where are you going?

No, no, no!

- Grace, you're gonna kill us both! - Uh-uh!

I'm sorry, but…

Umm, okay, alright. It's fine.

My makeup.

I refuse to die in a Picanto.

It's a Picanto.

- My friend… - Yes.

You brought a whole restaurant with you?

Grace doesn't approve of me eating just anything, and anywhere.

No, man.

I can't let you do that to yourself! Never.

Have some.

- Okay. - Have some.

Yes. Yes.

It's just that…

What will Grace say?

You know…

There's things Grace should never know.

Absolutely!

Have some.

Have some.

Your car is a death trap!

My car is not a death trap.

- It is. - What, did you die? So get lost!

Shh, shh, shh, shh! Here's the car.

Give me the car keys.

- Give you the car keys? - Oh, just open, please.

It's a Merc, you don't have

- to assist the boot. - Just stop.

- It's automatic. - Huh.

- What are we taking? - Take it all.

They can't camp without food or gear.

Take everything.

- Shucks! They coming. - Take everything.

They're coming! That's them.

- Put this down! Put it back! - No, I am not putting it down.

- They will not... - They're gonna see us.

Move! They're gonna see you.

Move.

Grace, stop it!

Oh...

- Do you see something? - Where?

No, don't… don't worry about it. I'm sure

it was just a shadow.

Babe, you know we wouldn't be seeing shadows

if you had just booked a hotel.

Okay, here.

I'll keep you warm.

Mm-hm.

You take such good care of me.

- I try. - Wow.

Shh!

This I like.

- What do you... Oh, you like that? - Mm.

- I do. - What about this?

- Hmm? - Yes.

- Okay, what about… - Very much.

This?

- Sizwe, you animal. - Hm. Yeah.

Stop it.

- I'll kill him. - Well, we are in the wild, right?

Did you bring me here to eat me or something?

- Oh my God. - Uh…Yeah.

Your daughter!

- It's your son! - Shh!

Shh!

Mr Khumalo!

Oh, yeah.

Uh, your campsite is ready for you, sir.

- Um, yeah, sure. - Oh, thank you, God.

I just need to inform you - Hey. Hi.

There's been two roaming lions that haven't been seen since Tuesday.

- I'm sorry, what?! - But we're almost certain

- your site is secure. - Oh.

- Almost certain? - Oh, okay.

- Secure. - Yeah. Correct.

- Okay, thank you. - I'm sorry, you're almost certain?

That it's secure.

Babe, no.

- We'll be fine. - You know I'll kill him.

- It's gonna be great. - I'm gonna kill her.

Okay.

So, what did you get?

I got the emergency lights.

Gosh, Gracious!

- What? - What? They don't need lights

- for what they're going to do. - And Bongi, what did you get?

What did you get?

Okay, we have work to do.

Stop annoying me! You irritant!

- And there we go. - Mmm.

- Yeah? - So cute, babe.

I know, right?

Mm…

I think there's something on my lip.

Yeah, it's uh… It's the whole moustache.

- It's just… - Oh, wow, you punk.

- Sies man. - I'm kidding, come here.

There we go.

This is all your fault,

- you know? - My fault?

-My fault when your daughter -It is!

- Is the one that seduced my son? - Oh how did you even find this place?

Um, my dad and I come here a lot.

He connects with nature and I connect with him.

I just wish I could tell my mom.

She would love you.

- I hate him! - Shut up!

- No, you shut up! You shut up! - You shut up!

- You can just get lost! - Just shut up!

Shh!

- Do you know how to tiptoe… - Shh, Gracious! Shush!

They're here.

Like now, right here like this.

Bingo.

You look so beautiful.

Babe.

- Thank you. - I just want to say…

Yeah?

I need…

Mm-hm?

I…

I need to pee.

- Ah... - Yeah.

Babe, where are you going?

Ah yeah, I just need to... Just to the bush.

- What's he doing? - No, there are literal

- lions on the loose. - He's getting away from her.

- I'll be fine, don't worry. - Babe!

- Shucks! - Oh.

Oh!

Do you see anything?

All quiet.

- Is he... - Shh!

Babe, there are literal lions on the loose.

Nope, not a lion in sight.

There goes my bag.

My Versace.

Now it's a Versa-pee.

- Yeah. - Not too shabby.

- That's for you. - Oh.

- Okay. - Yeah.

Yeah?

- Mmm. - Mm-hm.

What is he feeding her?

Scrumptious.

Join me.

Don't mind if I do.

Okay, we've got to try scare them.

But fix your wig.

- You're scaring me. - Oh, Gracious.

That is the least of my problems.

You're scaring me! Stop looking at me!

I wanna fix your wig.

It's freaking me out.

Oooh!

Babe.

- Did you hear that? - No. Scarier.

Like something… You know? Like…

Um, does it?

That sounds like a...

What is…

Do you know what? Um…

That's not a lion.

- Of course that's a lion. - You can't say…

- It sounded like an old car starting. - Yeah, I know, um…

You know, because of where we are, I think sound travels up here.

It travels? Well, I don't like it, babe.

- It feels like we're being watched. - Okay, I'll try.

- Um… - Like what is that?

Is that a pig?

- Did you hear that? - Okay, um…

You know what? We should probably -

- just get into the tent. Yeah. - Babe! Yeah.

- Come. - They're going inside.

That's not what we want.

- Babe, hurry! - Yeah, yeah.

Okay, we might as well play them Barry White.

- You're such an idiot. - Stop! I'm trying to think.

Wait, the internet is your friend.

- Is that what a lion sounds like? - We're okay.

- I don't know. - We're okay.

Oh, if that's what the internet says.

Babe, what was that?

It sounds like someone who's hungover

- from a club. - Shh! Shh.

Okay, I'll… I'll do it again. Go.

- Okay, okay! - Don't leave me!

- Grab your shoes! - Babe!

I'm sorry! I thought you were behind me!

- Wait for me! - Let's go! Let's go!

No, babe.

- Well done, Gracie! - Well done!

Well done, Bongi! Well done. We did it.

Well done.

Take that.

Okay.

What else is here?

Um…

Is… is that a snake?

- Huh? - What? Gracious, get off me!

- Is that a snake? Huh? - Get off me. Grace!

Grace, get... Get...

What?!

- A snake! - Grace, wait for me! Grace!

- Those are your ancestors, you idiot! - Never! Never!

I told you.

Sizwe, I told you I don't like camping and nature and animals.

- I just... I can't. - I know.

- I'm sorry, I just thought that… - What? You thought what?

- That you knew best? - No,

I thought that it could be romantic.

Calling the snake my ancestor.

That's right!

That was the worst trip ever.

What?

Worse than our matric tour to Nkandla?

Oh, no.

Nothing could ever be as worse as that trip to Nkandla.

I mean, that bus had no air-con.

I mean, no brakes! How did we survive?

- And the windows wouldn't open. - Mm-mm.

Then the boys started to have a farting competition.

- Imagine that. - Do you know that, that fart

went into my hair?

I tried to find you soap

except I came back with lotion instead.

And when I went to go look for the soap,

I tried finding... Where were you?

I don't know, I was just... I just got distracted.

I just forgot what I was supposed to do.

I guess that's just you.

Getting distracted and just forgetting…

me, forgetting everything.

Grace?

Oh, Grace! Grace is here!

Shh.

- Shh. - What happened to you?

Disaster, calamity, sheer catastrophe.

You will not believe the day that I have had.

I need to burn this outfit.

I need a bath, and I need a glass of wine.

Just… wine.

How did you do that?

Hmm? Oh.

Whatever my beautiful Grace wants, I deliver.

Mm-hm?

Well, your beautiful Grace wants you

- to run her a bath. - Okay.

Why do you smell like meat?

It's my new perfume.

- But... - No, you need a bath more than I do.

It's called burnt meat.

But you need to take a shower

- while you run me my bath. - Parfum.

I've got something I need to do.

Parfum?

Ah, my Des-des.

- Ah, mama. - Listen, listen.

Let me tell you something.

I've got an idea for a skincare business.

That's good news, ma'am.

Good for you! It's just that my wife is...

Listen, this thing is imported from Maropeng...

I'm pretty sure it's just clay from the taxi rank.

Business man, listen,

- you're going to promote it. - Goodness! Me?

Why me?

Because I see you

sneaking around with Vusi. I've got my eye on you.

I see you.

I've got my eye on you.

You have been…

so good to me.

I mean…

you've carried my Bible.

You've carried my tithes.

And most of all,

you…

have carried…

my pink little assistant.

Thank you for everything you've done for me.

Versace Khumalo…

rest in luxury.

Where have you been?

My sister, people are hustling out there.

- I was also hustling. - Um,

when are you gonna remove the mud?

Oh, are you referring to Mavis Miracle Mud?

Hmm?

I need it gone, please.

Don't you know that Mom has eyes everywhere?

Sizwe, you wanna be a player with that whore, hm?

Let's play.

The kids are outside! Just check.

Thank you.

Here you go.

No.

Hmm.

Do you even chew?

Because you just swallow, swallow, swallow like an anaconda.

What? Are you starving?

Uh-uh! I haven't had a carb in ten years, as you can see.

No wonder you're so miserable.

The only thing that's making me miserable is your offspring.

And besides, I have botox.

Sphe, my dear, is pure.

Pure, pure, pure.

Pure.

My dad would turn in his grave.

What we need to do, dear,

is pry them apart because there is no way I'm going to share a grandchild with you.

I would rather die.

As we both know this thing won't work.

They're just adolescents, you understand?

Gross.

- What? - Nothing.

So, what's the plan?

I will give Sizwe an offer that he can't refuse.

And then you, my dear, will take Snare

- back to that little township of yours. - It's Sphe.

For Siphesihle, as you well know, Grace.

You know what? This me-you time as if we're friends

is not gonna work for me. And besides, I am tired of looking

at your dry skin.

Whoa, don't you dare insult me.

- I use aqueous cream. - Aqueous cream? I rest my case.

Ta-ta.

Shit.

- Hey! - Hey.

You know, the strangest thing just happened to me.

What happened?

I just got an acceptance letter to the Ireland Study Abroad program.

That's incredible! That's your dream.

Uh, ye… yeah.

Babe!

- Um… - Hm?

- That's great. - Yeah.

No, it… it was my dream, but I'm not so sure.

What if we went together?

Babe, I have things keeping me here.

- Yeah, no! No, I know. - My mom, my community work.

I have so many responsibilities.

Yeah, I know, I know.

Of course.

I mean, I just...

Wait, you don't think that I don't?

No, of course, of course you do.

- Yeah. - I'm just saying.

Our lives are just so different.

We're so different.

Yeah.

Well, it's one of the things that I lo... like so much about us.

- Mm-hm. - We're different, and we work.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- We do work! - We do work.

I told you.

- We do. - We definitely do.

Hmm.

Sizwe Nkosi Benson Khumalo, congratulations my son.

Uh, they called you too?

Well, not quite, I gave them a call and I pulled a few strings.

- So come, let's celebrate. - How come you didn't pull

those strings this entire time?

Because I wanted to make sure that this is what you want.

And I realised it's only six months without you, I can live.

Um…

Actually, you know what? You won't have to.

Cause I'm not going.

Why? This is all you've ever wanted.

Well, Ma, what I wanted was to earn it.

Well.

But besides that, I um… I can't just up and leave anymore.

I've got things to consider.

What things?

All I'm asking is for you to take some responsibility

for your memulo.

- After all, it's your memulo. - But you're on top of it though.

Yeah, I was, but between the move, the business,

things around the house, you guys, your father,

I'm swamped! I'm really swamped.

Ma.

How am I supposed to commute up and down to KwaMashu

- and still have time for school? Like... - Phe-phe,

are you really, really, honestly going to drop me

- in my hour of need? - Fine, I'll do it.

Thank you.

Pleasure.

Hm.

Oh, of course you were unsuccessful, you idiot.

Could you please help me set the table?

Oh, shame.

I'm so sorry. I can't help you much.

My neck is just so… Where is that massage gun of yours?

- I think it's in the kitchen cupboard. - Okay.

- Hm! Something smells nice. - No, no.

Nobody's touching that until after Bible study.

- Bible study? - Yes,

and we're all doing it together tonight.

- No way. - Phe-phe, get that for me, please.

Just add butler

to my very, very long list of duties.

Yo, Seeps!

- Zakhele? - Seepety Seep Seep!

- Oh, my days! Hi. - How're you?

Wow.

Hi! How are you?

Come on in.

Damn! This is a big-ass crib.

- You must be Sizwe. - Ye... Yes.

Your mom has told me a lot about you.

Come in.

- Charlotte! - Auntie Gracie!

You are stunning.

- Thank you. - Isn't she gorgeous?

- Yeah. - Mh!

- Welcome, darling. Welcome. - Thanks. Stunning!

- Thank you. - Stunning.

All me.

Mwah! Mwah!

Ma B!

- Thanks for coming, I made tripe. - Hello.

Your fave.

You know, that scripture

- is just so profound. - The story of Ruth

just resonates with me.

Especially the scripture where it says,

"Where you go, - Hm.

- "I'll go." - I will go."

- "Where you lodge…" - "I shall lodge."

Goosebumps.

Wow, Charlotte.

Okay.

- Please, dig in. - Thank you.

Bone-apple-teeth, everybody!

Huh?

Oh, that's so funny.

Bone-apple…

- Teeth! - teeth.

Okay.

You know, Sizwe, I'm dying to know what your favourite book is.

Oh, my favourite book?

- Mm-hm. - Um, probably

is… Probably Harry Potter.

No!

I mean your favourite book in the Bible, silly.

- Right, right, in the Bible. - Your favourite book in the Bible.

Uh, probably also Ruth.

- Really? - Yeah.

- Ah! - Yeah.

- Well, look at that. - Yeah.

Look at that.

- Hm! - Because

- what other book is there? - Look at that.

- Right? - Really.

So, Zakhele, Tell me.

- What are you up to these days? - Yes.

- Are you working? - I do work, sir. I um…

I add rhyme to poetry.

I have no clue what he means.

In other words, Dad, he's a rapper.

Yeah, but rappers are very rich, huh?

- Yeah. - Very, very rich.

- Very wealthy, very wealthy. - Mm-hm.

You see, guys, on my last beat, I got 300 views.

- Hmm? - Hm.

- Hm. - And it earned me 50.

Fifty thousand?

Fifty rand.

- Cheers. - Uh, to Ruth.

Hm.

- Thank you. - Hm.

- Eye contact. - Or seven years of…

Hmmm…

Stop!

- That is a gorgeous bracelet. - Oh, this?

You know, I just try my very best

to collect a charm from each and every

- single country I visit. - And that is a chunky bunch.

- You must be an avid traveller. - Oh, you know I am.

You know I am.

And honestly, one day

- I would just love to relocate to Europe. - Europe.

- Ah! - You know Sizwe used to love travelling.

- Used to? - But that whole interest just diminished.

I'm thinking, maybe you could help ignite that flame.

- Oooh. - I'm thinking Europe.

- Summer, I-bi-za. - Huh?

- Ibiza? - On me.

- Stop. - Yes.

- Ah, yes. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You know, that is such… such a…

- cool… bracelet. - Great.

- Right? - Um… Yeah.

Honestly, I can just imagine the Ibiza charm right now.

Cause diamonds…

Are a girl's best friend!

Oh, my gosh, perfect.

So, what you been up to, Seeps?

Oh, you know, just been so busy.

- Memulo planning. - You got a mems coming up?

- Mm-hm. - Yo, you can count on me, girl.

I'll be there.

- Really? - Yeah, all kitted up

in my traditional drip.

- You know the drill. - Hmm.

Actually, Zakes, -

I need you to do some work for me.

Hm?

Alright, so what's the deal?

CEO, CFO, CIA?

COD.

Chairman of Driving.

- Phe-Phe is going to need a driver. - Uh, Ma,

‎I thought I could just Uber.

Yeah, and I don't really do the Uber thing, you know.

Five hundred a day.

By the way, I was thinking

maybe you could also write me some music.

- Yeah? - Yeah, yeah.

- To market my business. - Yo.

Ma B, I would kill that shit! Dang, Ma B!

You see? Ah then. It's settled.

- Really? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I can see it, right?

The Zakes, Seeps, running the streets.

Hmm.

Oh, that's a bar. I need to write that down.

Fine.

Okay then, Zakhele.

- You'll start tomorrow. - Yo, that's sick.

Like a doctor.

That's another bar.

I'm on fire today.

Wow, you have such a lovely face.

- Such smooth skin. - Aww.

Man, you would be perfect for my brand.

Here, take this, um…

- Have your friends call me. - Hm-hm.

"Mavis' Miracle Cream."

It's dirt.

It's not gonna work.

Miracle Mud, my sister.

Actually,

a photoshoot with that face would do your brand wonders.

- Hmm. - Cause you know

- I'm your biggest supporter. - Hm.

Supporter?

Yes, I'm your biggest supporter.

Sizwe.

-Darling, um, -Hm-mm?

Could you please drive Charlotte out for me, please?

- Hm. - It was a pleasure.

Lovely.

So dinner was nice.

- Mm-hm, it was lovely. - Yeah.

Sup, bro?

Uh, sup, bro?

So, my man,

From church.

- Church girl, nice! - Hm.

Remember when we used to go to church together?

That's when we got engaged, dawg.

Oh my days.

- You guys are engaged? - Um, no.

We were five years old, okay? And it was a game.

- Oh. - Obviously.

Right! Um,

- okay. - Yeah, remember that uh, that ring

- I made you from a Coke can tab? - Oh, my days!

The bling ring.

I literally still have it.

Hmm.

- Cool. - Um, Sizwe, didn't you say

that you you're taking me home?

I'm ready.

- Yo, uh, which side are you headed, mama? - Durban North, why?

I mean,

you could just hop in with me.

- Ah... - I mean, I don't mind.

I don't… I don't… I don't...

- I don't think that's necessary. - That's a great idea! You...

I just don't wanna inconvenience you.

- You know what I mean? - Well, I mean, you're both leaving, so…

I mean, I really don't mind.

- You feel me? - Yeah.

Classic.

Okay, bye!

Cool.

Okay.

Thank you.

- Oh. - Hop in.

Wow.

Yeah.

So, um…

She's interesting.

Yeah. So is your fiancé.

Are you jealous?

It is a little weird though, you know?

Simultaneous blind dates.

Do you think they know about us?

- No! - No.

- No, no, cause… - No.

No. If they knew we'd already be under lock and key.

- No, no, no. - Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know,

I could kiss you right now.

- Really? - Yeah.

Well, um, I dare you.

Oh, yeah?

But your mom is right there.

- Okay. - So… Yeah.

Yeah, you know, actually, you are just the…

the most beautiful girl I have ever seen

in my entire life and I want to be near you all the time.

- Oh! - Yeah.

- Well, I can't wait for our baecation. - Oh, yeah?

- Mm-hm. - You know, I'm gonna call you.

- I'll be waiting. - Okay, cool.

- I'll be waiting, yes. - Yes, alright.

- Alright, bye, perfect. - Fine.

And your mom is gone.

Oh.

So.

- Okay, bye. - Bye-bye.

Right.

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah.

Make some noise!

Yes! Amen!

Now if you would please help me welcome

our guest speaker for the day. Charlotte Nyemba, everybody!

Amen.

- My fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. - She's gorgeous.

If you feel God in the building today,

- please say amen. - Amen!

- Amen! - Amen.

Hallelujah.

God wants us to be true examples.

- Yes! - Hm?

God wants us to live life to the highest

- standard. - Highest standards.

- Amen. - God also seeks that we love

- our neighbours. - Yes!

- No. - You see,

as a reformed

fallen woman in Christ, um, I used to see God

in the most lustful

and salacious ways.

Gosh.

Hours and hours of lustful -

- Hm. - …pleasureful acts.

And as I stand before you today,

it is because I am made new,

brethren.

So please turn to your Bibles

and turn to Proverbs 16 verse 13.

I told you to leave that phone in the car. It's not...

- Is it not... Is your phone ringing? - No.

- My phone is here. - They should hate evil

- and like honesty only. - Sit still.

- Ah! Ma. - And any angry

- Ma. - Mmh

- Don't make one angry. - Oh my God.

When a ruler is happy -Mavis.

And pleased with you it's like a refreshing rain and you will live.

Mavis.

- Where did you find that? - But as I stand before

- In the kitchen, like you said. - You today, it is because I have prayed

- to God to heal me. - Is it yours?

And entirely erase, -

to remove that lustful spirit -

- from inside of me, brethren. - Hallelujah!

To dim the passionate

- But it really works! I'll tell you that. - And vileful spirit I have inside of me

- that I do not need anymore! I rebuke it! - Shh! Stop judging me and read your Bible.

- Stop judging me. - Yes! Amen, brethren.

Mom, I'm just going for a quick dr...

- Drive, hey. - Hi.

Oh, no, no, no. Um,

remember you promised Charlotte to help her with her photoshoot.

I did?

It's for Gran's business.

- Please. - We're all doing this for Gran.

- Maybe I can spare like an hour or two. - Oh, fantastic!

Wonderful.

- Let me just, um… - Yes, um…

So, did you speak to the council?

Oh, I'll add it to my very long list.

- Thank you, my child! Thank you. - Thank you, ma'am.

Really?

Yo, Sphe.

Look, uh, holler at me if you need a lift back home.

- Otherwise, uh, I'mma dip. - Okay.

Alright, bet.

Actually, Zakes.

- Yeah. - My plans just fell through,

so maybe you could show me your stu.

- For real? - You know.

Alright, bet. Plus I got that new tune for your mom.

Let's go.

Okay.

Um, how have I never heard you rap before?

Like…

That's okay, my darling because now

you've got front row seats to witness the goat in action in real time.

Okay.

You can't tell me that's not a Grammy award-winning rap right there.

I mean, it rhymes.

And it's loud.

- Very loud, so. - Boom! Boom!

You know, I just... I don't think it's a bad idea to use the house

- as a backdrop. - We need something that says natural.

Something that says organic.

- You're so smart. - Hmm.

Mtungwa! The Khumalos are so smart.

Hm.

So, tell me. Where should we set up?

Come, let's go look at the options.

Oh, oka... Yeah, sure.

- Hm. - This way.

Grace, my sister.

I'm watching you.

- Oh, with these two? - No, I see you.

You are busy trying to wangle your way in.

You are trying to get a piece of the action.

- Wha... Mud action? No! - Back off, sister.

This is my empire that I'm trying to build.

You're not a part of it and you're irritating my board.

Board?

Do you have a tax number?

What's that?

Ah, there are just so many options.

- It's perfect. - Mm-hm.

Sizwe, could you please do me a favour?

Could you go and check what the noise is?

- Hey. - What are you doing here?

So, yeah, um…

Bye. I'll see you on the flip side.

Hi, girlie!

They look cute, don't you think?

Uh…

- Yeah. - Mmm.

Yeah.

- Mommy. - Phe-phe.

How was KwaMashu?

It was nice.

Yeah, it felt like home.

- Hm-hm. - Hm.

- Hmmm? - Hm.

Anything you wanna tell me?

Huh?

No.

- Okay. - No.

- Night. - Bye!

Night.

Oh, there you are.

- Hey! - Hey.

So, I had a question.

Um…

KwaMashu. How come we don't visit?

But we've had this conversation before.

But Ma, you… you grew up there, right?

I was orphaned there.

My parents got killed there.

Um…

It must've been hard for you.

I can't even bring myself to go to your grandparents' grave.

You think you've hit the jackpot with me?

Of course I'm not paying 10000 rand for chairs.

Are you crazy?

We'll talk.

- Mrs Dunga, how much is this bag of taro? - Fifty rand.

Fifty?! You are so costly!

No, no, no.

Is that...

Is that...

- Hey, sir. - Okay, call Satan.

How much is this, my brother?

Well, that's 500 rand.

Five hundred?

- Five hundred. - Goodness.

- Okay, I'll take it. - Five hundred, right?

- Hey. - Hey.

How did you find me?

Uh, we shared each other's location when we first got together, remember?

Because we said we didn't want any secrets between us.

Yeah.

- Has that changed? - Has that... No.

Not for me.

Okay, good, cause me neither.

Can we um… Can we walk?

Listen, bro.

Des, isn't that…

My friend.

We saw nothing. We know nothing, we say nothing.

You know what?

I don't even know what we were talking about.

Exactly.

Are you sure you saw my son here?

Well, I think so. I mean, he does have a common face.

- Shame. - So you brought me here for "I think so"?

It was definitely him, Gracious, okay?

- I can't miss that bland face anywhere. - This breaks my heart

because he spent the day with Charlotte.

They are just so beautiful.

- And she's churchgoing, respectable... - Kind of a whore.

Well, not like your hooligan who listens to ungodly music, okay?

Listen, our plan was working.

- All we need is one last blow. - Shh, I'm two steps ahead of you.

Trust me.

Well, maybe you need to get one step behind me

because um, is that not your mother-in-law I see there?

- Where? - There.

Oh, she can't see me here! Oh gosh! Hide me.

Hide me. Hide me!

- Oh, no, no, no! No, no, no! - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- There! - No, no, no!

I'm trying to help you.

Help me?

Oh, there's meat in here!

I really don't enjoying doing this,

- but... - You do! You do! No!

Goodness!

Oh, Mrs. Mavis.

Tell me, aren't you that friend that Grace hates?

Guilty as charged.

Well, let me tell you something.

- Any enemy of hers is a friend of mine. - Hm.

Oh, Mrs Mavis! She can't be that bad.

- Oh, you don't know her. - Why don't you get her something

nice like taro or cow's head?

What? Cow's head?

That white person?

Since that the meat truck is here, let me just grab a cow's head.

Oh, no, no, no.

- This is not the best meat, Ma. - But I know this man.

He sells really good meat.

- Okay, okay, then let me get it for you. - Alright. Thank you, my child.

Get rid of Mavis, Bongi.

Cow's head.

- Huh? - She wants a cow's head.

- You're looking so gorgeous. - Yes, Ma.

You have a good character.

- Goodness, bring it. - You're respectful and hospitable.

- Yes, Ma. - You're not like your friend.

- Yes, Ma! Thank you, Ma. - Yes, nothing at all.

- Shh! It's coming. - I like you.

Give me that plastic!

- Are you cooking that cow's head? - Yeah, Bongiwe, give me a second.

Gracious!

Shh!

It's heavy!

Help me.

These taxis are going to leave me.

Okay!

- Oh, oh, oh. - Oh!

- Here you go. Okay, Ma. - Thank you! I like you so much.

- Thank you, my child. - Alright.

- Okay then! Alright. - Yes, Ma.

But you know what?

- I also want cow's head. - Alright.

- Okay, thank you. - I'll pay it for you.

Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!

Wait! Hey!

Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait, wait, wait!

- I'm sorry... Grace! - Hey!

I'm gonna sue you! I swear I'm gonna sue you!

- Litigation! I'm gonna sue you! - Goodness.

I'm done with this.

Shut up, Gracious.

I can't believe you put me in that car!

You did this on purpose!

- Grace. - Where is he?

What do you mean Grace?

- Oh, you mean grace, hmm? - Grace.

- There she is. - No, man! Who...

- I was assaulted! I didn't even see Sizwe. - Here she comes! Here she comes.

I don't even know where Sizwe is.

- What am I doing here? - We have work

- to do! Come! - Follow me.

Don't leave me here!

Where are we going, babe?

My mother's childhood home.

Right here.

- Really? - Yeah.

So KwaMashu is basically just a painful reminder for her.

But it is a part of her.

And it's a part of you.

Cause…

lately it kind of feels like we've been…

drifting.

Like…

Like I'm not enough for you.

Why would you even think that?

Because babe, there are things that I can't give you.

Things someone like Charlotte can.

I do not want Charlotte, okay? I want you.

Good.

Because I want you.

So, like, is there any chance you can go traditional for my mems?

- Please? - Babe, not a chance.

It's just not me.

No.

Fine, fine, my oreo.

Fine.

Yes, yes, yes!

- I love it. - Give it more, um…

- Yes I love it! I love it. - I'm thinking Diana Ross in the Supremes.

- Okay. - Hold off on Diana.

Do a Mzansi pose, my child.

- Do you know Mabrrr? - Oh!

- Do a Mabrrr pose! Brenda Fassie! Brrr. - Brrr.

Okay, imagine God

or angels bringing you something beautiful.

-Stretch out your hands -Uh-huh.

- And receive it. - No, think about touching the sky,

- as if you're just touching finesse. - You won't reach the sky.

She won't reach the sky.

Imagine a woman who owes you

a lot of money.

No, I'm thinking

-give it more graceful -Look at her like a lion.

- Walkway. - Look at her like you will bite her.

- Like you're going to say "Haaa!" - Like walkway.

- Like you're going to bite her. - Walk.

- No, no. Not anger, not anger. - Yes, hold it like that.

So like, do I get an outfit change?

You can get whatever you want, my baby.

Thank you, Mommy.

Thank you for doing this for me.

Yeah.

You know,

whatever matters to you, matters to me.

- Aww. - So any day, all day.

- All day, errday. - Every day.

- Love you. - Love you too, baby.

Like you're flying.

Yes, there you go.

- I like that one too. - How are you?

- Look who's here! Hi! - Yes.

- Hi. - Hi!

Hi. Hi, hi.

So, um, we're gonna get him in wardrobe,

- right? - Right! Right.

- Wardrobe? - Right.

- Mm-hm. - I'm confused.

So Zakes Wabantu is asking if we can play his rap song

as my entrance song.

- No, don't worry about me. - Sizwe, get comfortable, my boy.

- Strong, masculine! Yes. - Dig in, dig in.

- Rub it in nicely. - Yes. Okay.

Start from the bottom

- and go up with it. - Alright, and then Siz, can you just take

- her thigh and put it on your waist? - No, man! Why is her thigh in this?

- It's for the shoot. - Uh, okay.

- Come on! - Okay. Okay.

- Like this? - Yes, just look into her eyes.

- You'll see, Mavis. - Yes?

- Sure. - Yes, Charlotte,

- I need you to look into his eyes. - Okay.

Go all the way up -Siz in her... Yes.

- With it. - Okay.

-No man, why are they looking -Okay.

Into each other's eyes when we still need them to apply the chilli one.

Okay.

- One sec. - And then? No, Phe-phe.

- We're still busy. - One second, Mama, come on.

Phe-phe, what's wrong?

I'll even go for some.

Do you need any more?

- I think we are good! I think we're good. - You sure?

- Oh. - Okay.

- And that's a wrap. - Cool.

Are we done?

Hey.

Look at you.

You look like…

Like a child playing dress-up?

No, Phe-phe.

You look like a young woman

on the cusp of holding everything she's ever wanted.

Not everything, Mama.

It seems like a boy broke your heart, baby.

He did.

He really did.

I think you should just end it.

Just shut that door, baby.

Walk away.

Walk away with your dignity.

You deserve better.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Stop running, Sizwe.

Uh, keys. please.

- I'd like us to go shopping, please. - I don't have time, Ma. Ah,

- please. - Why?

Because you are parked behind me

and I don't have time to reverse

- and then yours... - Why the urgency?

Fine! Do you wanna know?

- Yes. - The girl next door…

- Uh-huh? - I love her with everything in me,

and for some reason I can't find the words to tell her exactly what I just told you,

and now she hates me for some reason.

She hates everything about me, and I need to go

and find out why now.

So, keys, please.

Thank you.

Shucks!

Okay.

Um…

Love, what's up?

My love, listen.

I need you at Phe-phe's rehearsal.

Okay.

- Des, aren't you my ride, brother? - We'll celebrate with Sphesile

♪ We'll celebrate her purity We'll celebrate ♪

♪ We'll celebrate with Sphesihle ♪

♪ We'll celebrate her purity We'll celebrate ♪

Thank you, my children.

What's going to happen now is

- we're going to talk about the importance… - Maybe you can talk

about common decency

because one of your ladies here

- seems to be lacking it. Hey! - Dawg!

What are you doing here? Men are not allowed here.

Really, Sizwe?

And who is this now?

Someone with no respect, Ma.

You know what they say, right?

You can take the girl out of

- the hood, but... - Oh?! Okay.

So now we see what you really think of me then.

- Why don't you just admit it? - Admit what?!

That I'm not cultured enough for you.

- That I'm not traditional enough for you. - Well, would you even handle it if I did?

Try me.

Just admit it, Sphe.

What's it to you anyways?

Because not only did you cheat on me,

you sent me the evidence.

- Like who does that, Sizwe?! - Grace,

- What? - Do something.

Nice picture, by the way.

- I didn't send that. It's not... - Let me see.

I mean, it's me, but I didn't send that.

- No, I... - No, easy, Des.

Okay, um…

I did it.

I set up the photoshoot

and I sent her the picture using your phone.

Look, when Bongi and I

- planned this whole thing, we... - Wait, wait.

You are also involved in this?

I didn't want it to go this far,

Hm.

Besides,

Grace, I said we should stop this.

Excuse me?

I did.

So…

you're betraying me again?

Betraying you again?

We were supposed to leave KwaMashu and go to

Joburg together.

I waited for you at the train station… for hours.

With my bags packed.

Waiting for my best friend to arrive

because she had become my family.

I had nothing else.

I had no one else, but her.

And she never came.

Yeah, but you cut me off, Grace.

- You didn't give me a chance to explain. - How? That you're selfish?

- Self-centered? - You treated me like crap,

- Grace. - You see how you are?

Can you see how they are?

It's good that you're leaving this girl.

She's exactly like her mother. And they're just...

- They're not good. - Hey, no, no, no.

No, don't talk! Don't you dare talk - Oh, she didn't

- about my family like this. - Tell you?

- Back off, Des. - You didn't tell him?

No, no! Talk to your wife.

Let's go.

Sizwe, please wait.

We can fix this.

You know what the problem is, Sphe?

You never trusted me.

And you attacked my identity. Who I am.

I know, but it was them.

It wasn't us. You know I would never hurt you.

I just think that maybe you're right.

What do you mean?

Maybe we're just too different.

You don't mean that.

Sphe, the message that you sent were your words.

Not your mom's, yours.

I know.

I know, and I'm sorry.

Yeah.

Please?

So am I.

Sizwe!

You know, when you were born, Phe-phe…

my entire world shifted.

You brought so much joy and happiness into our lives.

You know, Sizwe, 20 years ago…

I was exactly where you are.

Bongi's betrayal broke me.

But I messed up.

I robbed you of your happiness, and…

now I'm so lost.

Don't let this be your life.

You can still change all of this.

Just tell me, I'll do it.

Come here, Mommy.

I'm here, okay?

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

I really am.

Hey.

I wanted you to have this.

It's a picture of my mother and father.

That's nice.

No, Grace.

- It's for you. - That woman is made of stone.

A stone!

Ma, enough.

- It's enough! - She just says what she wants

- and she even doesn't think. - Um, Bongi, I don't think…

She needs to hear this.

Cause you see, I know you…

better than anyone.

And I know you pretend like you don't need anyone,

because you don't know how to ask for help.

But that's because all your life you've had to fend for yourself.

And I wasn't there for you.

And it's just hard.

It's really hard.

It's so hard to know that the closest thing

you have to a mother is so cruel to you.

- Look, I didn't... - No, Ma. Please.

Please give my friend and I some space.

Bongs.

Okay, wait, wait, wait! Grace.

Gracious!

Yes.

- You'll strangle me. - Can you just for two minutes

allow me to love you?

Hmm?

What will happen after the two minutes?

I will remind you how dope you are.

Yeah.

Cause you're my dawg ♪

♪ You're my dawg You're my dawg, you're my dawg ♪

Mmm so, what

are we gonna do about the kids?

What are you doing?

Lu, what are you doing?

Mom has a surprise for you.

Yes, yes, I said Mom.

There… Somewhere there.

- Okay. - Go have fun.

Don't do anything I wouldn't do.

Okay.

Hey.

Hey.

You look…

- Um, Sizwe, I just... - Yeah, I just wanted to...

You go first.

Okay.

I miss you.

Literally nothing feels right without you, Sizwe.

Same here.

Oh, you go.

I am…

completely and utterly in love with you, Sphe.

Love?

Love.

Since the very first moment that our paths crossed.

I love you, Sphe.

I love you too, Sizwe.

Wow.

Aww.

- Tell them. - No, tell them.

No, you tell them first.

No, you go first.

We have an announcement

for our families.

Me…

and Vusi…

We have been friends from day one.

- Never. - Day one!

Grace!

- Yes, Vusi? - We've had enough.

And you won't be policing our union.

- What? - Uh, they must be drunk.

- Yeah, no. - We don't need your permission anymore.

- We've had enough. - They're drunk.

- Yes. - We're good.

But…

please.

Please.

- Please. - Please.

You look beautiful.

Take these plates.

Alright.

- Oh, Mom. - Hm?

I have a surprise.

Your photoshoot with Charlotte.

It's for your campaign.

It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful.

- Oh, I love it. - So, Ma, if you agree,

we'll print them, put them on pamphlets,

- and start marketing. - Thank you.

You're welcome.

Hm.

- Grace, my child. - Yes, Mom.

I see how much you care about this family.

I looked into my heart and I realised I need to be more kind.

Are you alright?

I'm trying... I'm trying to be kind and heal internally.

Okay, thank you, but…

it's funny.

- Let's not do this again. - Let's not do it again.

Okay.

But I need a favour.

Mom, please move the mud out of my garage.

No.

Girl, you're stepping on my toes now.

Bone-apple-teeth.

Mavis, please pass the kasi-roll.

Casserole.

Oh, now you're getting along?

Mm-hm.

Hm.

What veg is this? It's delicious, hey.

- This. - Hmm.

That's sheep's head, my girl.

Mic check, one, two, one, two.

Mic check, one, two.

Zakes Wabantu!
