Nkunzi Monologue
Zandile Zulu.

MaDlamini's been shot.
Zulu's at the hospital.

The courts work on evidence, not on feelings.

I hear you.
I'll find the evidence you need.

I can't take the guilt anymore.
I should've been there.

I think we should call it quits.

If we carry on, it'll just get worse.

Do you know how much time has passed since I almost died in that ATM bombing?

- The investigation's still ongoing.
- I know who did it.

- Who?
- Who else?

It's Nkunzi Mhlongo.

Think carefully about what you're saying.

Mondli, my body was paralysed, but my ears weren't.

I heard the men talking, and I recognised the one voice.

I'm certain it was Nkunzi's voice.

But that isn't enough.

- You don't believe me?
- It's not that.

We have no proof.

Nkunzi's

I'm being honest with you.

If you were honest, you'd have listened to me when I said you guys wouldn't work out.

But you pushed the issue and dated her.

And now you've broken up.

So do me a favour.
Smangele's moved on, you do the same.

Okay?

You can go now. Bye-bye.

Go!

The church can't sit back and watch the Zulus suffer on their own.

Maybe...

the congregation can take turns cooking for them.

I'm sure...

a fundraiser...

could help with the medical costs.

MaNzuza.

I'm so sorry.

MaNzuza.

Nzuzo...

is everything okay?

It just seems like the crime in KwaMashu keeps on getting worse and worse.

Even so...

let's not give up hope.

I haven't, Baba.

It's just so sad that Lillian was shot like that.

Here's some water.

Thank you.

That idiot's too slow.

- He should've kissed her already.
- Come on.

Not everyone moves fast like you.

No, just a little kiss.

What is it?

Some people just don't know when to stop.

What's wrong?

Mondli. He was parked outside like a stalker.

Mondli?
Did he tell you he was coming?

No. He just came and parked outside our house.

Shame, how long did he wait for you?

I don't know, but how did he even know I wasn't home?

He should leave me and Qhabanga

- Why not?
- He said...

he wouldn't be able to afford this ring on a cop's salary.

But I told him not to make his poverty my problem, and that a man saves money.

You know what?
I think he's up to something.

He's sniffing around.

It's one of your favourites, baby.

It's by Gcina Mhlope.

"Sometimes when it rains
I smile to myself."

"I think of times when as a child,
I'd sit by myself..."

"and wonder why people need clothes."

"Sometimes when it rains,
I think of times when..."

"I'd run into the rain shouting..."

"Nkce..."

"nkce..."

"mlanjana, when will I grow?"

"I'll grow up tomorrow!"

Lillian...

Oh, Lillian!

Where am I?

You're in the hospital.

I can't move my legs.

- Baby...
- Shh!

I can't move my

    100 feet from me. He is a tan white gentleman with a shaved head. He is wearing grey shorts with brown sandals and a white polo t-shirt. He also has sunglasses on top of his head. He has no visible jewelry, tattoos or piercings. He is emptying money from the payphone into a white sack that he is holding in his left hand. He has been at the payphone for about 5 minutes and is now using the payphone to possibly test it. He is now taking the money and clipboard and is now walking from my northeast to my northwest down a set of stairs.

    People search forever to find true love, but true love will never be found if you can’t find true love within yourself. In the poem “Monologue for an Onion”, by Suji Kwock Kim, the metaphor isn’t just about the onion it’s also about being loved. Everyone falls in love at least once. And this love feels everlasting and perfect, as if it’s never going to end. Then, when the moment of heartbreak happens, it feels as if the world is crumbling right in front of you. People have different ways of handling a broken heart. Whether it’s denial, anger, or sadness, the feeling of not being loved is surreal. In this poem, the onion is a man that is no longer in love with his significant other and tells how…

    Hi, my names Valerie and I was born November 1st, 2000 at 1:30pm in New Westminster, British Columbia. Although, after almost six years of living in BC my Mom decided it was best my sister, Jennifer, her and I all move to Calgary, Alberta. We lived there for about a year, then we moved to the Okanagan in British Columbia, then back down to Surrey. I’m thankful I never moved outside of Canada because living in Canada means freedom, plus everyone's so nice. Anyway, after all that moving you would think I attended multiple schools and I did. I attended Rosscarrock Elementary, Holly Elementary, M.V Beattie Elementary, Mary Jane Shannon Elementary and last but not least Guildford Park Secondary up until now. Seeing how I went to so many schools I got to experience different ways of…

    I, Captain Torres, who believes that our country should have better conditions, am here to bring out a new revolution! You people, who oppose us, definitely did not think it through! Have you ever thought about your living conditions? Wouldn’t you want to improve it? Or make it a better place for all of us to live in? Look at yourself and look at people around you! Don’t you people see what’s going on in our country? Do any of you even have the mood to just smile for one second? Eight years ago, November 18, 1968, in Turkey, Richard Moses, the leader of the Turkish people in a town, brought out a revolution! It was a total success! You stupid people didn’t know about it, did you? Every single person in Turkey cheered for the dramatic change! They received good food, decent wages, ethical living conditions, and millions more! Don’t you want any of those fantastic conditions? Take some time to think about your stupid actions stopping us! Think precisely! This is actually not only for our advantages, but also for the good of everyone single person here in this town! I command all of you to listen to me and support me! You will be living in broken houses, wearing torn clothes and barely having any food supplies! So, stop complaining about foolish people. Now, do not waste my precious time! Let’s get out of here! Let’s leave all these foolish people here and get on our way to the new revolution! Let’s go, I said…

    You're nothing but a piece oh shit on the bottom of my shoe, thats whats wrong. I'm leaving with Shug and getting away from you. Your'e a dirty rat and your dead body is just the welcome I need to leave you. You might have been a half way decent man if your father raised you right. You know that Nettie was all I had and the only one that loved me and you took her away from me. Your'e nothing but trash for doing that to me. Your'e cruel but it don't matter no more. My sister is taking care of my children in Africa. My children Olivia and Adam are learning different languages and are coming back home soon. And when they get here we are all gona whoop your ass for doing that to me. And we will do it with no regret for the things you done to me. Beating a woman doesn't do shit and I'm gona laugh when everything you wish for crumbles down. My children are gona turn out way better then these blockheads you never made the time to raise. If your son Harpo hadn't tried to beat Sofia into submission then the white people would have never gotten to her. She wouldn't have gotten sent to jail either. You had rotten kids. They made my life hell, they did. But of course you aint nothing but some horse shit. You thought beating me would make me submit to your will? Well, boy you sure are wrong. No one ever is gona treat me that way no more. With you I felt that I wanted to go somewhere but I couldn't. I almost got my spirit beaten outa me and I just wanted to rot somewhere. And I never even asked you for a God damn thing!!! I never asked you for nothing at all!!! Not even your hand in marriage. I never asked you for nothing, but your sorry ass asked everything from me. Wash the dishes, clean the house, feed the kids, shave my beard. And I never got nothing in return!! But I never complained bout that cause I know you would just beat the shit outa me!! And until you do me right then everything you touch…
