Leruo, you've endangered our lives because of sex.

- Where are you running to? - I'm going home to my parents.

Are you done, Ma?

She and the baby will have everything they need.

What? What are you saying?

Not just one baby. Babies!

I've lost my parents, and now I'm losing my career.

You just see me as a baby-making machine for the Dlaminis.

I'm losing myself, Aunt'Deli. Me.

Me!

(He needs to return all the cattle he stole from the Sothos.

I refuse.

Tlali, stop it, man!

Please forgive my son.

What's happening? Don't shoot.

- Untie us. - I'm begging you, my love.

Okay then. Marry me.

I'll marry you. I'll marry you.

I'll marry you.

We ask for safe passage for our daughter,

as she leaves her father's house and travels to her new home.

Bheki and Nandi,

as the newest members of our ancestors,

we ask that you guide your daughter.

Look after her.

You've left the physical world.

You're no longer with us physically,

emotionally and mentally.

But you're here with her spiritually.

We know that you're with all of us.

Great ancestors...

thank you.

Yes. Mm.

My child, today you've shown me what true magic is.

- Ma, love is true magic. - Goodness, Nyakallo.

You know very well what I'm talking about.

The girl is beautiful and well brought up.

It's clear that she found herself a good man.

By marrying her ex's cousin?

- What is she saying now? - This isn't a game.

Ma.

- What are you trying to say? - Goodness.

Muti.

African spice.

Goodness, this gentleman paid more than we expected.

- Mm-hm. - Exactly.

- Tlali did that because he loves me. - Wow!

You'd swear I'm not your daughter the way you're carrying on.

Nyakallo, all I'm saying is my muti works.

- My herbs work. - No.

- That's not the case. - Goodness, what happened then?

I made him realise that he's nothing without me.

You can see that he's a real man, hm?

He's an ambitious man.

A man like him needs a woman like me.

- Oh, wow. - A smart woman.

My child, you're a dangerous woman.

A sheer force.

I'm Leabua from the Ts'eole clan.

A healthy, shiny offering.

- Ma'am. - Sir.

You're celebrating for crumbs.

Do you see that son of mine?

He's going to give your daughter a very good life.

- Gentlemen, I respect you. - Tlhabane.

We're grateful that you've raised your daughter...

This beautiful flower...

- The most beautiful of them all. - The most beautiful of them all, sir.

Now, we're grateful and very lucky,

to have your daughter as the Bataung bride.

- Peace! - Rain!

- Blessings! - Let it rain.

Goodness! Goodness!

Goodness! Goodness!

Look what I've got.

Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!

Greetings, Dlamini.

Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!

A beautiful woman. A beautiful woman.

Goodness!

My people.

Today we're completing the lobola process.

The men from our two families will slaughter a bull.

The one half will be eaten here in the Ts'epe stead.

The other half shall be eaten at the Ts'eole stead.

It's time, gentlemen.

Traditionally, you're supposed to sit next to your bride.

No, Dad.

How will she know I'm a man if I do not take the lead?

I'm Tlali.

Family.

I'd like to greet and welcome you to this wonderful celebration.

The day we've been waiting for has finally arrived.

It's time for them to tell us why we're here today.

We know that you love each other,

but we want to know how committed you are to your love.

It's your time, my boy.

My love.

You know that I've loved you since we were young.

When I first saw her,

she was barefoot, wearing muddy shorts in her father's kraal.

She was a loner and didn't speak to anyone she didn't know.

But on that day, she spoke to me.

That's when I knew that one day I'd make her my wife.

That day has arrived, my love.

I still choose you, Sihle.

Until the end of time.

I love you, my love.

I love you.

No, Tlali. There will be plenty of time for that.

I can't wait any longer.

You weren't singing that tune when you were chasing whores.

You weren't singing that tune, right?

Oh? Are you going to remind me of that forever?

Yes. The punishment fits the crime.

Geez!

Hey, you two. Stop following each other around.

- In front of all these people? - Sorry, Ma.

Nxa. Geez.

My dear husband,

if you dare cheat on me again,

I'll let them burn you down to ashes.

My love, I promise never to cheat on you again.

Hm.

But there's something I need you to promise me.

Hm, what promise is that?

I want you to promise that

you'll be the sharpener to my dagger.

The bullet to my gun.

The killer of my enemies.

My soldier.

I promise, my husband.

- Do you promise? - Yes.

- Do you promise? - I'll kill them all.

Nyakallo!

Oh my goodness!

You're nothing without children!

There you go. May your husband never wash his own feet.

When he gets home, Sihle,

- his bath water'd ready for him. - Do you remember, my love?

Our wedding day.

I was sitting there and you washed my feet.

Remember on our wedding day you promised to always protect me?

Please come home. It's safe, I promise.

As your Chief, I'm handing over to the two families,

as we prepare for the next phase of uniting the families.

They were once strangers but they will now be family.

Thank you.

It's time for you to come home.

- Bandile, I've decided... - Don't call me Bandile.

Am I no longer your husband? Menziwa?

- You just call me by name now? - Why would I return?

Listen here.

You chose this life when you married me.

A life full of danger? A life that has no peace? I can't.

You think I'll beg you.

You think we're negotiating and I'm asking you to come back?

I'm not asking you. I'm telling you to come back home.

- I see that Dumisani... - Dumisani?

He's old enough to be my father,

- and you call him Dumisani? - Goodness, why do you care?

I care.

I care because you sound like an uncultured b****.

You're speaking like a w***e from the city, with no respect.

I don't know you like that.

As my wife, I shouldn't be begging you to come home.

- Including my child that's... - Everything is about you, Bandile.

That's all you care about. Huh?

- That's why we're in this situation-- - Piss off, Nolwandle.

We smeared you with our bile.

You were brought to us with a kist, when you decided to marry me.

This is not a typical marriage

where you leave because you're bored and ask for a divorce.

You're drunk. I'm leaving.

Someone's f***ing you, right?

What?

You found a little boy who fucks married women.

Hm? Someone with more money than me?

- This is madness. - Listen here, listen here.

I want you back home. Are we clear?

My child, bathe with this for thirty days.

After that, use it once a week.

Use it only at night.

That man will run after you.

He'll always desire you.

Come rain or shine.

This one... Yes, that's right.

This will ensure that your husband listens to no one but you.

Nyakallo, my child.

When you get to your in-laws, create a little corner,

where you will burn these.

Ask your ancestors to protect you.

But...

Am I going to be alone in this old house?

I wish that fool Tlali never laid eyes on you,

because he's stealing you from me.

Really, Ma?

I'm not going far. Tlali's house is just around the corner.

My child, just promise me that,

when you have your first child,

they'll live with me. That's the only thing that'll fill the void.

You're full of tricks, old woman. I knew you were up to something.

Our ancestors.

Those that lie in our rivers and oceans.

Please give her light.

Brightness.

Give her fertility.

Give her dominion.

You look beautiful, my love.

Can I borrow her, Kwanele? Oh, she's still yours.

My goodness, it's been a long journey.

Oh, Ma.

My child, just look at yourself.

Oh.

Sihle, I'm an old woman.

I know I can be difficult at times.

It's only because I love you, Nandi's children.

I don't hate you.

Not in the slightest way.

I don't want you to disappoint your mother.

You know how your mother was. She didn't like nonsense.

She wouldn't stand by and watch you ruin your life.

Thank you, Ma.

I'm sure she's proud of you and what you've done.

I know you've made the right decision.

You'll be happy in your marriage.

Yes, you'll be happy.

Look at the man you've chosen.

Hey,

- there will be no sleeping tonight. - Goodness, Ma.

- Oh, Ma'Deli. - What? You look embarrassed.

Didn't Nandi tell you?

What the 90 percent that keeps together a marriage is?

Didn't she tell you, my girl?

I was walking around and found this.

Oh, Ma.

The lucky bean tree.

This means that your days will be blessed.

What a beautiful gesture, Ma. Thank you.

May everything flourish in your life, Sihle.

You came in a black dress,

to my sister's wedding. You're tempting a married man.

My wife. Our dream has come true.

- Tlali, you know I can't eat. - Why?

It's tradition, I need to wait to be given "Koae" tomorrow.

Tradition? F*** tradition.

Have some meat, my wife. Just make me happy.

Oh, Tlali.

There you go.

Listen up.

She's an amazing creature.

She makes me happy.

She awakens a beast in my heart.

With her by my side, I'm unstoppable like a raging river.

- Hey, man. - Sir.

Bring that thing.

Dad, hold this for me.

- Thank you, sir. - Sir.

Thank you.

- My wife, here's your gift. - Mm.

- Tlali, what's this? - Open it and look.

What's my name? Hm?

- What's my name? - You're Tlali.

Wow, what a beautiful gun.

- Just like me, right? - Yes, just like you, my wife.

My wife.

Let's take over the world.

Let's do that, my husband. -This world is ours.

Oh, if Dad finds me smoking in the house...

This thing of yours is making me cough.

Who is it?

- Grandfather. - Can I come in?

I come in peace.

Who are you?

You don't know me, but I know you very well.

- How can I help you? - Is your mother here?

She's here.

Ma'am, what brings you here?

Grandfather. Greetings.

Forgive me for coming this late,

even though it's really bad out there.

You've let wolves and crows take over your and your husband's work.

Speak or leave.

Ma'am, Tseko told me where to find you.

Hey, we have a big problem.

Your nephew Tlali is giving us a hard time.

He came to my house posing as my deceased husband's friend.

But he actually came to threaten me in my house.

He has started doing something terrible.

He's stealing our cattle.

He's turned out to be a conniving thief. A terrible person.

My neighbour lost 15 cattle.

Hm.

Ma'am, what do you think we should do?

Ma'am, we know about your business.

You started it with good intentions.

We know very well that you won't s*** where you eat.

That's why we respect you so much.

That's why I'm putting my trust in you and Leruo.
