Are you Sefofane?

Young man, who's asking?

Someone who wants to join your crew.

The woman I used to talk about day and night.

Yes, Sihle. The girl from Natal.

She's engaged to be married.

I want to marry you.

My son is ready to bring cattle to your homestead.

Who is it?

No one, don't worry.

I want you to help me find the b***ards,

that murdered my parents. I want to kill them,

the same way you killed the ones that murdered your parents.

Bab'Dlamini has contacted reinforcements.

Where is he?

Yes, you lot.

What s*** did you cause in Bergville?

Goodness.

It's your people that started this mess.

After you've slaughtered them like cattle.

- Slaughter house. - What were we supposed to do?

- Not defend ourselves? - With what?

Goodness. What do you mean?

Are you saying that your people killed ours with water pistols?

I can see that you don't understand.

This will get to the minister.

From there, it's a press conference.

After that, they'll instruct the border to shoot to kill.

Like we've stolen their children and wives.

We only stole a few cattle. Goodness.

I see. Your head is full of the horses*** that you smoke.

Listen here, the protection fee we're paying you,

is going to your head.

You stink.

When you speak to me, brush your teeth.

You seem to be confused.

We can find someone else to do your job.

Zulus are worthless.

Who do you think I am?

Do you think I'm one of your cattle thieves that you can push around?

I thought this was a meeting.

Not war.

I'm so happy to be with you.

When will I see you again?

I'm engaged.

What are you doing here if you love him?

What's the time?

- Hm? - Wake up.

I don't want my son to find you here.

It's a long drive home.

What was that stunt you pulled with Katse last night?

I wanted to show him who was in charge.

We're adults.

Adults talk things through.

Says who?

The woman that held a gun to my head?

We don't play games here. We work.

Had you not handed us Okhabeni farm,

we wouldn't be in the s*** we're in right now.

I didn't say they must be killed.

Mistakes happen.

What can we say?

That boy, the farmer's son.

It seems like he wants revenge.

What did he do?

He's becoming a problem.

So get rid of him.

Ay.

I left that phone in the bedroom on purpose.

You have seven missed calls.

It's Nhlakanipho.

He wanted to tell me that his neighbour's cattle were stolen.

Is Nhlakanipho from Plot 25?

That's him.

I hope you told them to call the police.

10111.

My love, while you were sleeping this morning,

I got a call from an old man.

He was crying.

He was hiding in a toilet, watching the Sothos take his cattle.

My love, I can't just sit and watch my people

being killed by the Sothos and do nothing because we're safe.

Because I love you and our daughter,

I'll make sure that you're always safe.

You promise, Mgazi?

I'll protect you, okay?

Have you forgotten this chest?

I'm your bodyguard.

You're so silly.

Relax, okay?

You agreed to marry a tough guy.

You're speaking nonsense.

I'll protect you.

Who's this?

Do what you have to, my love.

Our people need us.

Hello?

This man just paid lobola for you,

why don't you want to continue with this?

I didn't say that. I'm still thinking about it.

I think you're at war.

Don't let the devil win, he doesn't want you to get married.

The devil is too busy with politicians and cattle thieves.

He doesn't have time for my sad love stories.

Why did you just change your mind, Sihle?

Ever since I was little, all I did was please everyone.

I don't know who I am or what I want.

Even when it comes to marrying Kwanele. I don't know if I agreed

because he's my dad's friend's child, or--

No. All I know is you love Kwanele.

- You know that. - He's all I know.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Let me tell you, there aren't any good men out there. They're taken.

Trust me. Hold onto Kwanele.

Would I be living for me?

Sihle, does this have anything to do with the dirty Sotho blanket man?

No, what makes you say that?

Ever since he walked into the hospital,

I don't know what's happening with you. You...

You're different.

This is about me.

I hope so, because I don't want you to lose everything for nothing.

Did something happen at home?

I knew you'd forget that we have to look at the wedding venue.

Oh, I'm sorry. I won't be able to make it.

Dr Makhubela couldn't make it today, so I have to cover--

Oh no, no. Our intern is willing to take a double shift,

so you can take the rest of the day off.

Thank you, Phumzile. Please pack your things so we can go.

Okay.

Let's go.

Gentlemen.

Gentlemen! Hey.

- Be quiet. Menziwa is speaking. - Gentlemen.

When you're speaking over each other, we won't hear each other,

- or come up with a solution. - Hold it right there.

Hold it right there before you go too far. Do you hear me?

I don't understand what you're saying.

Are you saying we must keep quiet? How? Huh?

I'm a dead man walking. Do you hear me? Huh?

All my hard work is gone. Just imagine.

Don't tell us that nonsense. Don't you dare tell us that nonsense.

I have lost everything, Menziwa.

My children will never know how it feels to have grandparents.

Just imagine.

Sipho, you know that my child won't see her grandparents again.

Gentlemen, just as we're here today,

we're not here to compare scars or losses.

We all have the same problem. We're here to find a solution.

Wait. Tell me,

what are your suggestions? Huh?

What are your suggestions?

Let's form a WhatsApp group.

Don't tell us that rubbish. Do you hear me?

When they attack, they come united.

They know that we're not united. It's every man for himself.

Do you think WhatsApp could've saved your people?

Your parents?

All we need are arms.

Just like the Sothos.

This won't help us with anything.

These boys carry AK47s.

You don't have guns because buying them

isn't like buying sweets at the shop.

If they can get them, so can we. We can get guns!

That's right. We can make our own guns.

Ones they've never seen before.

Boss, if you want guns, I know a guy who can help.

Come in, my love.

Hello. Are you okay?

What's wrong?

I want to talk about us and our wedding.

I also have some news.

Everything is ready for your family this weekend.

My mother called all my uncles and aunts from across the country.

Can you believe they demanded bus fare, because it's short notice.

My mom is so excited, she didn't even protest.

I think you must tell them not to come.

Why?

Leruo, I can't have my mother negotiate my lobola by herself.

Listen, Nyakallo.

There won't be any negotiations.

Has something happened to your family?

Nothing happened.

I won't be marrying you anymore.

You...

You won't marry me? Are you serious?

You're humiliating me all over again?

What have I done to you?

- Please forgive me. - There's no forgiveness.

Get out. Get out.

Why do you hate me so much, Leruo? Huh?

What have I done to you? Huh?

What have I done to you? Tell me!

- Hey. - My love.

I have stuff for our wedding.

I was thinking we have a traditional wedding.

Do you think that glass marquee I showed you, will work?

Kwanele, this isn't my story.

I can't pretend anymore.

I don't want to marry you.

Don't worry, Boss. He'll be here.

He'll be here.

Hey, Boss.

I think you should stay in the car. I'll talk to them.

Gentlemen.

Hey, Motlhabani.

My brother, Sephamola.

Speak, my brother.

I need your help with something.

What do you need help with?

Well, I need guns.

- Guns? - Yes.

Is your friend not going to greet us?

Oh.

- Boss. - Yes?

Here are my brothers.

Please come greet them.

Mm. No.

Gentlemen.

Greetings.

Hey!

You thought it best to come home, my son.

Not now, Ma. Please.

What had gotten into you?

Calling off the lobola negotiations?

I can't do it. I can't go through with it.

What's wrong with you? You just felt like giving away our cattle?

I don't love Nyakallo.

My heart belongs to someone else, not Nyakallo.

I don't want her anymore. I'm not going anywhere with her.

What does love have to do with marriage?

You just need two things, my son.

Understanding and perseverance. That's all.

I've just arrived, I'm tired. My back is aching.

Please excuse me from the discussions you want us to have.

- Have a good day. - You may as well tie a boulder

to my feet, and throw me in a river.

Those witches will curse us. They're going to...

It'll be the end of us. The end.

Calm down.

Pl-- Please, gentlemen. Calm down.

- Calm down, gentlemen. - You traitor.

You want to buy guns so that he can kill your own?

Like you, I have to eat.

I could've been part of the raids,

I didn't want it to be that way.

Sephamola, you're a disgrace to Moshoeshoe's clan.

I promise you, he is one of the good guys.

I don't care what you have to say.

These people treat their animals better than us.

Animals that you clean up after.

Yet you worship him?

Let me explain.

His family took me in when I was an orphan.

If it weren't for him and his father, I would've died.

Even before I hit puberty.

I don't care about the rubbish you're telling me.

I don't care if they're Jesus' children.

You shouldn't have given him the opportunity to see my face.

Brother, I know I'm the enemy, but the truth is we're the same.

Hey! Shut the hell up. We're nothing alike.

- We're the same. - We're not!

Brothers...

I don't have a problem with your people.

I'm here to ask for your help.

Ask Sephamola. He's the closest thing I have to a brother.

He's like a brother to me. We're here because your people came to my house,

with guns. They killed my mother and father.

My daughter can't sleep.

I'm begging you.

I know that as men,

you'd do anything to protect your families.

My little one can't sleep at night.

I stay up and protect my farm. I'm begging you.

I know you'd do the same thing,

to protect your families.

I'm begging you.

Sorry, sorry.

No, man. What was so difficult?

You needed to take her out to eat.

Take her for a massage and pampering. Just take her out.

Dad, even if I bought Sihle an entire store of goodies,

it wouldn't have changed anything. She doesn't want me anymore.

I will not lose my farm because of her.

That's my future wife you're talking about.

Sorry.

If you hadn't killed her parents we wouldn't be in this mess.

I don't think this is the time to blame me.

I know you didn't pull the trigger, but you sent the people who did.

Don't you dare judge me.

You know that everything I do is for you.

You should be worshipping me.

Dad, you've destroyed any chance I've had at happiness.

Don't worry, my boy. I will fix everything.

Have a drink.

Take this.

Hello, my love.

It's as if you knew I longed to hear your sweet voice.

Do you know the trouble you've gotten me into?

A lot of trouble.

I broke up with my fiancé.

Are you alright? How are you feeling?

I thought I'd be celebrating my freedom, but...

I feel like I've just stepped into another prison.

A prison of shame.

To be honest, it's not an easy thing, my love.

But I want to tell you one thing,

you are an incredibly strong and brave woman.

But I feel like I should hide,

and not face the mess I created.

I think spending a few nights in the mountains,

will help you get back to normal.

We'll cook our meals on an open fire,

and sleep under the warmth of the moon and stars.

Swim in the purest and coolest rivers.

I haven't told my family, that I've broken up with--

My love, please tell them,

then meet me tomorrow at the waterfall at 17:00 in the evening.

- We can start. - Yes.

Sihle, what's going on?

There have been some changes in my life.

I'm sure the changes you're talking about,

- are because of that Dlamini boy. - Hm. Hm.

My girl, let me give you a word of advice.

When you get married, marry him in community--

Stop with the inheritance.

Wow. Am I being prosecuted for being happy for her?

- Prosecute me then. - Wow.

Or don't you want us to attend the wedding?

Maybe they're getting married in Dubai.

- Dubai? - If you don't keep quiet, Uncle,

I'll take Sihle aside and speak to her alone.

- Where are you going sir? - Get out of my way.

What's going on?

He looks upset.

Aw Sibalkhulu, what are you doing here?

- We were not expecting you. - Did she tell you what she's done?

Sihle? What have you done?
