Zingisa went back home after seeing Mbali ,he got home very late and he just went straight to the kitchen hut and dished up for himself.His brother heard him when he got inside the yard so he also went to the hut.
Mkhokeli:Izoqhubeka kude kube nini lento yakho?(This thing will continue till when?)
Zingisa:Molo nawe Mkhokeli ,uphilile kodwa?(Hello to you too Mkhokeli ,are you okay though?)
Mkhokeli:Andina xesha lokudlala mfondini ,iyamlimaza uNonkululeko lento yakho marn(I don't have time to play games dawg ,this thing is hurting Nonkululeko)
Zingisa:Ndikuxelele kodwa ukuba inkawu idliwa ilila ngeyam intliziyo(I told you that there's no mercy when it comes to my heart)
Mkhokeli:Khawume ngobububhanxa beloqhalo mfondini ,yiyeke lento yakho(Can you stop saying that stupid figure of speech Dawg ,just drop this thing)
Zingisa:Ndiyala Mkhokeli ,ndiyamthanda uAmahle mfondini ,ndiyaqala ukuziva ngoluhlobo ngenkazana mfondini ,Mkhokeli ndifumene ithuba lokuthanda umntu ngendlela esisimanga ,khocinge nje sendilahla elona thuba lokuthanda umntu ngenxa yokuba kunomntu ozova ubuhlungu apha hayi inoba ushiywa zingqondo mfondini ,andali ayilunganga lento ndiyenza lamakhosikazi wam ikakhulukazi yena uNonkululeko kodwa ndiyamthanda uAmahle mna mkhuluwa ,andiboni noba ndingakwazi ukuphila ngaphandle kwakhe(I don't want to Mkhokeli ,I love Amahle Dawg ,I never felt like this before Dawg ,I found a chance to love a person in an amazing way Mkhokeli ,just imagine throwing that chance of loving a person just because someone's going to get hurt here ,no probably you're losing your mind dawg ,I admit that I'm not being fair to my wives especially to Nonkululeko but I love Amahle big brother ,I don't think I'll be able to live without her)
Mkhokeli:(He just looked down ,what his brother just said touched him and he never thought his brother will ever fall in love with someone)Ndiyakuva mfondini kodwa izaw'thwani lendaba yakho noNonkululeko?(I hear you dawg ,but what must be done regarding your relationship with Nonkululeko?)
Zingisa:(Brushed his head)Ndizathetha naye uNonkululeko mfondini ,ndimxokisele ngandlela zonke kodwa andizumyeka uAmahle mna mkhuluwa ,ibuhlungu nyani lento kuMaGcina Kuba sithandane sibancinci (I'll talk to Nonkululeko dawg ,and lie to her in every way I can but I'm not leaving Amahle alone big brother ,this is going to hurt maGcina because we dated at a young age)
Mkhokeli:Yiyo into bendifuna ukuyicacisa leyo ,ngoku lanka amanye amakhosikazi wona?(That's what I've been trying to explain ,what about the other wives?)
Zingisa:UThantaswa noNthabiseng ayongxaki ,uThantaswa akana ndaba nokuba ndenzani nabani ,uNthabiseng uxokiseleka lula(Thantaswa and Nthabiseng aren't a problem ,Thantaswa doesn't care about everything that I do ,I can easily lie to Nthabiseng)
Mkhokeli:Kuhle ,kuhle mninawa ,nguAmahle waphi khona?(That's good ,that's good little brother ,where's this Amahle from?)

Zingisa:Sungxola mfondini uzade uviwe ,ndiyazi lonto izandifaka engxakini kodwa uAmahle akahlali kwaZulu ,wagxothwa kudala(Don't make noise dawg ,you'll be heard ,I know this can get me into trouble but Amahle doesn't live in the Zulu Kingdom ,she got banned)
Mkhokeli:Uyazelaphi Wena lonto okanye yingqondo yakho ifuna uthembe lonto?(How do you know that or your mind wants you to believe that?)
Zingisa:Undixelele yena namhlanje lonto (She told me today)
Mkhokeli:Nawe wayithemba lo ntsomi ,uqale nini ukuba nguthonqo Zingisa?lomntu ngahle uthunyelwe apha azokuthetha lo ntsomi ,ngahle uthunywe ngooNdlovu lamntana(And you believed that folktale ,when did you become this stupid Zingisa?What if this person is sent here to talk that folktale ,surely the Ndlovu's are the one's that sent this child here)
Zingisa:Hayi ,hayi ,hayi mfondini ,ndiyamthemba mna ,akathunywelanga lomntu apha ,mhle Kakhulu lamntana for ukubulala(No ,no ,no dawg ,I trust her ,no one sent her here ,she's too pretty to kill)
Mkhokeli:Unguthonqo nyani ngoku ,ebezofuna ntoni apha ukuba akathunywelanga apha?(You're a fool now ,what is she doing here if she's not sent?)
Zingisa:UThixo uyayenza indlela yokuba abantu abadalelwene badibane ,ebezobethwa ngumoya mfondini(God always finds a way for soulmates to meet ,besides she wanted to catch some breeze)
Mkhokeli:Zingisa ayonguwe lo uthethayo apha ,apho ehlala khona akho moya Kanti?(Zingisa it's not you who's speaking here ,there's no breeze where she lives?)
Zingisa:Hayi hayi Mkhokeli!.
Before Mkhokeli could respond to his brother ,their father walked in
Radebe:Aniziva uba niyangxola?(Can't you hear that you're making noise?)
Them:Uxolo tata(We are sorry dad)
Radebe:Wena Mkhokeli nguwe lo okhupha uZingisa endleleni ,khawufumane umfazi Mkhokeli uhlukane noZingisa(Mkhokeli you're the one who's leading Zingisa astray ,you must find a wife Mkhokeli and leave Zingisa alone).
Mkhokeli:Ewe tata(yes dad)
Radebe:Hambo lala Mkhokeli ,ndifuna ukuthetha noZingisa(Go to bed Mkhokeli ,I want to talk to Zingisa)
Mkhokeli didn't even respond he just went to his hut ,they are so scared of their father and they don't understand why he's soft towards Zimkhitha
Radebe:Lixesha lokufika eli xa unamakhosikazi?(Is this the time to arrive at home when you're married?)
Zingisa:Hayi tata(no dad)
Radebe:Ndijonge emehlweni nje ngendoda xandithetha nawe (Look me in the eyes like a man when I'm talking to you).
Zingisa did just that
Radebe:Yintoni le endiyivayo ngoZimkhitha yokuba Wena ufuna inkosikazi wesine(What am I hearing from Zimkhitha that you want to take a fourth wife?)
Zingisa:Ayikho njalo Tata ,nguNonkululeko lo ocinga ngendlela engekhoyo(It's not like that dad ,it's Nonkululeko that thinks that rubbish)
Radebe:Awunakuthatha amakhosikazi amaninzi ingathi kukwakho apha ,awuyo Nkosi Zingisa ,khona kutheni ethetha njalo uNonkululeko?(You can't be taking many wives as if this your household ,you're not a king yet Zingisa ,by the way where did Nonkululeko get that from?)
Zingisa:Andimazi tata(I don't know dad)
Radebe:Icacile ukuba awuthethanga nenkosikazi yakho ,hamba uyothetha nenkosikazi yakho Zingisa ngoku hayi ksasa(It's so clear that you didn't discuss this with your wife ,go talk to your wife about this now not tomorrow).
Zingisa:Ewe ndizakwenza njalo tata(I'll do so dad)
Radebe:Sesizithumele izimemo pha eDitsietseng kwaMofokeng ,uzoba ngolwesihlanu ,ungahamba ke(We already sent the invitations to Ditsietseng in the Mofokeng's ,the ceremony will be on Friday ,you are dismissed)
Zingisa:Uvakele Bhungani ,enkosi(You're heard Bhungani ,thank you)
Zingisa went to his hut ,where he sleeps with Nonkululeko and he woke her up.
Zingisa:MaGcina ndicela sithethe S'thandwa sam(MaGcina may we speak my love?)
Nonku:Thetha kaloku Zingisa(Talk then Zingisa)
Zingisa:Andiyithandi indlela esiyiyo kwezintsuku S'thandwa sam ,ingxaki iphi MaGcina?(I don't like how we are these days my love ,where's the problem MaGcina?)
Nonku:Ndikubonile Zingisa ,nimile ,nincokola (I saw you Zingisa ,standing with her ,talking)(A tear fell from her eyeballs)
Zingisa:S'thandwa sam ngumntu obelahlekile lowa ,andisoze ndiphinde ndithathe omnye umfazi ,andisafuni ukukuvisa kabuhlungu ,ndiyak'thanda yeva?(My love that person was lost ,I won't take another wife ,I don't want to hurt you anymore ,I love you ,okay?)(He then hugged her ,he felt as if he was betraying Mbali after saying those words to Nonkululeko but he had to ,just to lessen the suspicions
Nonku:Uthandwa ndim Bhungani ,uxolo ngokwenza ngola hlobo S'thandwa sam ,andiphinde(You're loved by me too Bhungani ,sorry for handling the situation like that ,I won't do it again)
Zingisa:Akho ngxaki ,masilale ngoku (No problem ,let's sleep now)
Nonku:Ngaphambi kokuba silale ndicela ukubuza ,yintoni le ibikufisa ngobusuku?(Before we sleep may I ask ,what made you to arrive late?)
Zingisa:(He didn't expect that question but he had to answer it but only with lies)Bendiyokhangela igusha katata ngalamini(I went to search for my father's sheep that day)
Nonku:oh ,namhlanje?(Today?)
Zingisa:Hayibo mfazi ndini ,namhlanje bendifuna ukubethwa ngumoya(Geez this wife ,today I wanted to catch some breeze)
Nonku:Sizoba nabantwana nini?(When will we start having kids?)
