MthunziWe are on our way to Mafikeng. I am driving and my beautiful wife is sitting next to me in the passengers’ seat. We are driving down with Maps and Ramaru. They are sitting in the backseat.

In a very weird way, having my daughter makes me feel like she is still with me.” He says. “These people are precious, until they aren’t.” I say. We both giggle. I haven’t spoken to Thomas in so long. I have been meaning to call him and just check up on him. He loved his stiletto girl a lot. I can only...
Mthunzi“Am I getting another ring?” She asks me. “What’s wrong with the ring you have?” I mean, I spent a lot of money on that ring and the shop assistant assured me that every woman loves that ring. “Nothing. It’s a beautiful ring. But I’d like another one.

I miss her. I have brought Rofhi with me. I think she has been having dreams about her mother because twice, she woke up in the middle of the night screaming for her mother.

He learned that he has cancer and he has refused to be released on medical parole or to take treatment. He wants to die in there and he wants Luthando to be well taken care of. He has even relieved me off the duty...
