Oyama: Her Story

CHAPTER 68

It was the great Curtis Mayfield who said in his song Pusherman, ‘I'm your mama, I'm your daddy I'm that nigga in the alley. I'm your doctor when in need, Want some coke? Have some weed. You know me, I'm your friend, Your main boy, thick and thin, I'm your pusherman’
That’s the way the whole of my December went.
Me and Lucas made a lot of deliveries, all over Pretoria, I made a total of, R2Million from Profits just in that month.
I still sell to the guy I sold at 500 for and he’s been a good customer, doesn’t ask to many question about product or my life, we just exchange a few pleasantries and of course a short conversation, and leave on good terms.
I hired 2 guys to start running for me, niggas just like, from the street, who are hustling, they are doing well, they deliver on time.
We eating good, I had James buy me an Empty land lot in Pretoria Central, we converted it into an in-city Parking lot.
I called David Langa, made that appointment and he provide security for the cars parked there. Every car is safe, and people liked that. Pretoria isn’t exactly the safest place to park your BMW, you know?
Since Tips is 18 he bought that Taxi legally and has a License, he has someone driving for him, someone the old man who sold him the Taxi trusts. The taxi is rented to them, Tips is making 20k a month clean, We also got James to buy the Tavern, ‘Ko Stofong’ which we pay rent to him, but when we turn 18, me and Lucas we are gonna buy it, from him for about R100k as said in the contract we signed with him.
I mean we went from kids who starved to boys making money.
I’m giving jobs where there are no jobs. Tell me isn’t this what Ubuntu is all about?

Now I’m sure how are we handling all of this, well we are technically all Emancipated from our parents, Tips found his mother and had her sign the documents and I had my parents sign as well. It was really easy, Maria(My mother) just signed and I walked out of his house.
We opened a business account where all the money is poured into after we mix it with the illegal cash from the deliveries. The only reason we had James buy, everything for us, wasn’t because we didn’t have the money, it was a matter of trust, from the Banks, you wouldn’t really trust a 17 Year old when he comes in and says he wants to take a loan of R5Million. You would be skeptical and skepticism is bad for business, especially for us, so we had it legally written down that James will give us a Private Loan for us to start a little start-up which we said was a Taxi, then we rent the land James bought, the Parking lot, and Tavern from him, when in actual fact we already paid James and the money we have coming in is coming straight to our pockets.

We also moved out of our mother’s house, in Mamelodi and are now renting it out. We have a little Townhouse in Silverton, it has 3 bedrooms, so Mandla sleeps on the couch, but for some reason, even though we all have rooms, with beds, we still sleep on the floor in the living room. We haven’t really told Mandla what we do, but he isn’t stupid he knows, he just doesn’t wanna say anything, but he’s still focused on Grade 10 which is where I want him to be focused on, not money or the fact his brothers are drug dealers.

Asemahle and I have been together for about 5 months now, I can really say its been the best 5 months of my life.
While she was in the Eastern Cape on Holiday, I called every day, like she asked, even if I had nothing to talk about, we just stared at each other and talked about dumb things like, how many hills are there where she lives?
My entire gallery is filled with pictures of her, when she was in the Eastern Cape and random snaps of her.
If you are wonder is she also my Wallpaper and Lock screen? YOU’RE DAMN RIGHT SHE IS, MAJITA MOSADI KE WALLPAPER. MH.
The Citi Golf is also done, it’s a beauty we painted it all black, the interior is chocolate brown, with leather seats. We also tuned and fixed the engine and battery, the rims well, we chose to put in the 17inch R-Line rims. It’s a beauty of a car.
I also managed to get my license before my birthday, the problem is, I just need to make sure I’m not stopped by police, because the date it says it was issued is my birthday, and my birthday is only next week Monday. I know I don’t really give the guy a lot of credit, but God is Good. He really is. I guess it just took him taking us out of that Pit for me to realize it.
