Siyabonga.





"Five hundred says Man city won't win."
Nkosi says as the timer to the first half starts to run up and Zwe and I look at him in inquisition. Does this man have any idea how much money he's about to loose ?

"One bar says Man city scores the first goal second half extra time excluded."

"Two bar says it's a draw"
Lwazi jumps.

"Your both idiots."
Zwe defends and I chuckle at him.

"There's no way Man city's losing this one, trust me. Plus I like earning free money, let's shake on it."
I tell them and Nkosi shakes his head at me.

We continue to disagree for a few more moments before we start putting our money where our mouths are and we go back to watching the game.

Baby Thando waddles herself from her father all the way to the couch that I am sitting on and she balances herself on my knees and she stares at me.

If this doesn't give me baby fever then I don't know what will, she's too adorable.

I pick her up into my arms and I sit her on my thighs. She stares at me for a few moments before she starts blabbing away and I can't help but smile at her.
It's intriguing how much I can see a lot of her mother in her but the Mdlalose genes don't fail to show themselves, even then she's the most gorgeous baby girl I've seen thus far.

I can only imagine how Kabo and I's baby girl will look like and I hope she takes after her mother too. As soon as i smile at that thought she gives me a small toothless smile and my heart skips a thousand beats.

"Manje Siya Mfethu, have you heard any updates about your mine ?"
Zwe asks and I take my eyes away from Thando and I stare at her uncle and I sigh at him.

This issue with the mine is going to make my head burst.

"There's just a lot happening with the mine right now and feels like I am being pulled at different directions all at the same time..."

"What are your suspicious thus far ?"
Nkosi asks as he takes a sip of his drink and I look away from him and back at baby thando who's busying herself with a poppet.

"Sabotage."
I simply say and they all go quiet.

"So who do you think did it ?"
Lwazi asks from the other side of the coffee table.

"My logic tells me that it could be Mandla, he has plenty of motive, more especially after the votes but knowing Mandla despite everything he would never stoop that low."

"But we can't necessarily scrap him out."

"I've kept my eye on him like a maniac for these past couple of weeks, his phone records, transactions, who he speaks with even went as far as investigating Anele too."

"Mandla may be a greedy person but I doubt that he'd ever do this."

Zwe says and I start to chuckle at him.
He doesn't know the half of it.
Thando smiles at me when she sees me smile and I can't help but smile at her even more.

She's too adorable.

"I can't put this past him, more so the fact that he's well connected with the Dlomo's, the world's turning against him who's to say that he can't switch sides now ?"

"So what's your conclusion?"
Lwazi asks.

"I don't have enough to start drawing conclusions but I know that somebody is paying for what happened family or not. I'm at a point where I am just going to take things as is, no justifications, benefit of doubt has cost me a lot."
