Sir, Granny wants you to leave your keys.

Mfundo is coming to fix the roof today.

The Principal is calling you, Sir.

This school is full of molesters!

They are messing with little kids!

I have not seen my child in three days!

Look.

You are not the only one hurting.

I don't know what you want me to say.

If we could leave the police to do their work.

Do you have kids?

She had a secret abortion six months ago.

She never revealed who the father was.

The girls of today.

He was probably a married man.

I don't know. It's all one big mess.

I feel sorry for her grandmother.

The kids today are so materialistic.

They are so into older men.

They are so corruptible.

Parker, your music is far too loud.

Must I always send Sipho to remind you?

Jeez!

It's not like it's any good either.

It sounds like someone screaming blue murder.

Hey, I'm not going to repeat myself.

I don’t want that bloody dog inside.

We are not white people.

Dogs belong outside.

I don't know what's wrong with her.

She keeps scratching at Mr. Parker’s door.

Then we'll have to send her away.

There is always the SPCA.

Also, I'm tired of asking you to leave your keys.

So Mfundo can fix that leaking roof.

I won't ask you again.

Leave those, I'll sort them out.

Just bring me your laundry.

I want to soak it overnight.

Please, I beg of you.

No socks and briefs this time.

I know you said it was an accident

but I will not wash a grown man's underwear.

No way!

Hey, pull over!

What's the problem?

There's room here.

There is plenty of room back here.

Excuse me.

Are you Parker Sithole?

Give him a hand, boy.

What do you have in there?

A corpse?

It's been six months since I had a tenant.

Get that dog out of the way.

An entire six months.

Your coming was so sudden.

I haven't had the time to fix up the place.

There is a lot you can do with the space.

I managed to fit in this big wardrobe.

You could fit an entire family in there.

I have been meaning to get that fixed.

I'll sort it out.

Your references are stellar.

Your command of English is impressive.

However, something here caught my eye.

A military record with the Defense Force?

That's rather unique.

In 2001 you were in the DRC…

Very rare indeed.

I'm sure your manner will affect my kids positively.

Agreed?

My staff…

…a new member of staff…

He hails from KZN.

Where is the love?

He'll be taking over Grade nine class.

He'll help with extra activities…

Let's welcome him with a song from Johnson Nkqonkqoza.

Hit it!

What's happened at Emarabini?

Marabi we held onto it

What's happened at Emarabini?

Marabi we held onto it

Keep this child

Because he really

Has no parents.

Keep this child

Because he really

Has no parents

What has happened Emarabini?

Marabi we held onto it

Marabi

So how are we going to do this?

What do you want?

-That's not what I'm saying. -Then what do you mean?

I mean how we are going to do this?

It's late, how are you getting home?

There are no taxis this time.

What do you want to do?

-Let's go. -Take this.

May I sit?

My name is Nolitha.

I'll have a cider.

Thank you.

Eish, your friend.

You are very naughty, Vuyani.

I can't imagine being so drunk

that I'd throw up all over myself.

To my kraal.

You thirsty, Mr. Sithole?

Our Father, who art in heaven.

Oh Lord of all that is here and in heaven.

We join hands in this home to praise you.

We beseech you to guide us.

Through the darkness towards your light.

It is not for us to question your will.

Lord, lead us not into temptation.

There is so much evil and tyranny.

We plead for your grace to protect us.

Deliver us from all that is evil.

We ask this in the name of our Lord.

The one who died for all of our sins and rose from the dead.

I'd like to welcome you all…

…were with us last year.

And Mr. Ndlovu led the class.

Well.

We now have, Mr. Sithole.

…provincial colors…

Please treat him well.

I know how you lot can get.

…to have him. Understand?

We are going to need a volunteer

so we can see those championship moves.

Kind Sir…

I'd offer myself up to you

but out of sheer bad luck I've hurt my ankle.

Hey!

Where is my volunteer?

No, not you, Mongezi.

Good of you to join us.

The man must take the lead.

…as if…

I've made up my mind, babes.

I don't like Othello.

He is an abusive man who hates women.

Open the door.

Nolitha, open the door. What's wrong?

Open the door. What's wrong?

What are you doing there? Open the door. Open the door.

-What are you doing in there? -Please leave me alone, Vatiswa.

-I'm using the toilet. -What are you doing in there?

Open the door.

Fuck off and leave me alone.

-No, man open the door. -Fuck off, Vatiswa, what do you want.

What are you doing in there?

I'll get to the bottom of this.

What has gotten into you?

How dare you try to kick me.

You think you are all that.

Open this damn door.

She's probably on her period.

All of you please get

out. Nolitha are you taking a shit?

Fuck off. Why can't you leave me alone?

Climb, climb, climb!

Climb, get up there, climb!

-Climb, climb! -What's going on in here?

Get down from there, with your long legs.

What are you all doing in here?

Nothing Ma'am.

We were just using the bathroom.

Who is in there?

No one is in there.

It's just me and my girls.

Who is in there?

It's Nolitha, Ma'am.

All of you, get out. Get out.

Vatiswa, stay behind.

Stand there, be quiet.

The cheek of this child.

Maybe she passed out.

Go call Bra Z.

Tell him to bring his toolbox.

I'm counting to three.

I'm going to write a report. Open this door you, dammit.

This crazy child has locked herself in.

Do it Bra Z.

Bra Z, please pick up the pace.

This is why you and I fight. Hurry up.

Let me help you.

Can't you bring a ladder? I want to look from the top.

My boy.

Your phone was ringing, Sir.

Is this phone yours or mine?

What's yours is your books.

Pay attention to them.

Oh, Bra Z, will you please hurry up?

A word with you, Ma'am.

Ma'am, I must speak with you.

I disapprove of your methods.

I don't vote, sanction or approve of it at all!

Can you not see that this is a desperate cry for help!

What you are doing is causing her distress!

…of her family history.

No, you're not.

You don't know her family history like I do.

This kid lost her mother!

She suffered from depression!

Both her parents were my friends!

You can clean up tomorrow.

I said leave it, Bra Z. You can clean up tomorrow.

…you and that girl…

Her friends found her in the toilet.

What you ask of me is very hard, Mr. Sithole.

Victor is very attached to his daughter.

His wife's death brought them even closer.

They were like a needle and a thread,

but Victor has grown as stubborn as an ox.

But…

I agree with you.

Five months is a long time to be away from school.

But what I see with Nolitha

is she takes after her with everything.

Her secret abortion rocked this family.

And then refusing to reveal the culprit.

I told Victor,

sending her to the farm was not the answer.

In truth the girl needed…

love and support…

not hard labor.

But…

Like I said, I agree with you.

Nolitha cannot afford to miss any more school.

I will have to take this up…

with her father.

Yes, we'll have to discuss it.

Lord knows he is hard-headed.

My child.

After being away for the past six months…

Where is she, Ma'am?

I trust you will watch her closely.

I know the road you are taking.

Are you trying to destroy yourself?

Who is this?

Who is this?

Now you want to know who I am?

You are a joke.

What's your problem?

This guy is pissing me off.

Do you know a William?

I don't know any William.

You are a reckless dog.

Satan himself is upon me.

No man. No, no!

Oh, brother!

As I was saying,

Nolitha needs special attention.

Careful attention.

So she doesn't dodge school again.

That'll mess things up

and she'll keep repeating the same grade.

Oh, my word.

Oh, there is my Angel.

We were just talking about you.

You are a lucky girl

to have a teacher that cares.

You must hang in there.

You hear what I'm saying? Hang in there.

Let me go make tea.

How about some tea and biscuits?

And some buns.

Nolitha, my child.

Your teacher has offered

to give you extra classes.

You'll catch up on all the work that you missed in no time.

I heard you, Grandma.

Sir.

Please taste my homemade cookies.

Have one.

Go ahead, have one.

Take my dear, taste.

Taste them.

How is it, tasty?

Mouthwatering, isn't it?

Not now.

Not here, Njanbu.

What's wrong?

Please can we go?

-Njabu, can we please go? -No, come on man.

Njabu, I told you.

Sorry, Sir. We're out of here.

-Sorry, Sir. Sorry. -Njabu, I told you.

Run Njabu.

Hurry up a bit.

Sipho, go tell that Mr. Parker to turn down that noise.

But Grandma, I'm still playing.

Don't talk back to me.

Go you're just standing there.

Go right this minute.

Jeez!

You'd think he is killing someone in there.

Excuse me, Sir.

Grandma says your music is too loud.

Thank you, Sir.

I'm good, baby, how about you?

It's been a while.

I miss you so much.

What are you up to?

Are you at home?

Me, I'm at the municipal office.

I'm doing this all for us, baby.

So we can have a good life.

So I'm going to see you tonight?

Come on, baby, just tonight.

Okay sure.

I love you, okay?

Sure, love.

This girl's head is as hard as this polyfiller.

Move, move, move!

Mfundo!

This is not a place to smoke marijuana.

You are here to fix my roof not to get high.

-You dare come smoke that crap here? -I'm not smoking, Mama.

I'm just waiting for the polyfiller to dry.

I'm not smoking at all.

I would have been done had I worked from inside.

-Just be done with it.

I am tired of this secretive man.

I've been telling him to leave his keys.

He's so secretive.

I'm sure he has a dead body in there.

Hey stop those Police, stop!

-Give me a ride. -Where's the fire, Mum B?

I need a lift to the Post Office.

Been saying this for a while now, Mum B.

We are not a taxi service.

We are the S.A.P.S.

Is that how you talk to your elders?

This is not what your mother taught you.

I'm going to have a word with Thoko.

Are you renovating, Mum B?

-That's none of your business.

I don't like that boy, Mum B.

I don't want him anywhere near you.

He is a thief and he smokes marijuana!

Everyone deserves a break in life.

Look at you Mr. Big-Shot police officer.

That boy will smoke you to death.

How many people died?

-Killed by him? -I don't like that boy B.

Young man.

It's weed.

-It's all that shit he smokes. -Young man.

Get in there.

It's locked.

The keys are with that tenant of mine.

Oh, my Lord.

Step back, it might get messy.

Hey, young man.

Hey, hey.

Ouch, Simphiwe!

That's quite enough, Simpiwe!

That's enough!

No, Bra Simphiwe.

It's you, you did it!

You killed her!

You did it, you killed her!

You killed her!

It doesn't matter.

Either way, I'm going to take it out of your deposit.

How dare you kill my grandson's dog.

We need to hurry up with this job.

We don't have all day.

Don't force my hand.

Open this door.

This is my house.

If you don't open, I'll break it.

This is my house.

You will open this door!

Geez, a man comes from far to lock us out of my own house.

What sick things are you doing in there?

What a strange man you are.

How dare you lock yourself up.

You think just because I am a woman.

I'm glad I caught you.

I wanted to get your ideas

on how we can jazz up the class.

So what do you think?

Hey, I'm talking to you.

You are an animal, Parker!

Your mother's cunt!

Tell me…

Where is she?

Where is she?

Tell me, where is she?
