Mpiyenza Khoza and Nkosinathi Zulu were best of friends, business partners and mostly saw each other as brothers
Things started going south when Mpiyenza suggested rituals to make money...
“ Indoda kumele isebenze Mageba , ayikho into esiyitholayo la! Ama peanuts lokhu, ngifuna imali mina” ( A Man should work, we are not getting anything here, this is change, l want money, real money) Mpiyenza says rather breathing abnormal, his eyes begging Nkosinathi to consider his suggestion
“Kodwa Khoza , akukho akungaveli, futhi mina angifuni Mali yegazi, l have a baby coming in 2 weeks, angifuni ukuphucwa ithuba lokukhulisa Indodana yam” ( But , Everything done in the dark will always come to light and l don’t want blood money, l have a baby coming in 2 weeks, so l don’t want to be robbed an opportunity to rise my son) Nkosinathi says while sipping his rather warm whiskey.
“ Impilo izobancono Mageba, l’m sure our wives need to be taken care for, how are we going to do that if we don’t have money? Ngiyabuza Mageba “ as he continues to smoke his cigar and continues looking at Nkosinathi “ Lalela if you don’t want money that up to you but l need money, l want be untouchable, l want to be feared and l will only achieve that if l kill my Father “ he says proudly so with a smirk and the cigar tossed in his fingers
“INI!!? Ufuna imali ngaleyo ndlela, bathi hamba juba bayokuca phambi, angeke ngisho lutho” (What!!, Do you really need this money)
“ Ngifuna umnotho Nkosinathi, futh there’s nothing that’s going to stop me” he says with a straight face
Nkosinathi just nods and continues to sip his warm whiskey
2 weeks later
Mpiyenza has already found a powerful witchdoctor, as his thirst for Money grew , the more he tried to pursued Nkosinathi in rituals ... But he stood his ground, well Mpiyenza continued with the rituals
He visited a witchdoctor Mmilo ongapheli in the northern parts of Africa...
“ Njengoba ufuna imali Bhuvungane, kuzoza nomikelo, Ngifuna izintombi eziyikhombisa, amakhanda azo, izinhliziyo Kanye namabele azo” ( As you said you want money, you will need to sacrifice in order to get money, well l want seven virgins , l want their heads, hearts and beasts)
“ Kodwa Mmilo ongapheli, ngizokwenza kanjani lokho?” (But how can l do that), he laughs and continues “ Angilifuni igwala nevila la, siyezwana?
Ngithe ngifuna lezo izintombi okungenjalo uMaliyavuza ngeke akunike lemali oyifunayo” ( I don’t want a lazy and a scared person here, do you hear me?! I said seven virgins or else the God of money will never give you the money you want) he says as he is attacked by a dark spirit, that makes him growl and bark like a wild dog, he finally speaks in a deep terrifying voice “ Unamawele?” (Do you have twins)
“ Yebo Mmilo ongapheli, umkami usanda kuthola bona “ (Yes, my wife recently gave birth), he chanted some words and he continued “ uMaliyavuza ufuna inwele , kukhona umfana Mvelokuhle, ufuna yena” ( the God of money wants that twin, the male twin) Mpiyenza thinks about this proposal and then he nods and smiles
Nkosinathi ‘s Wife was in labour when Mpiyenza came running to him, he looked bloody and has scars on his face
“ Mageba , Mageba!!! Help me” he says then collapses
Rather short but leaves you with questions 😄
