Indlela yomuntu angeke ifane neyomunye umuntu ever! When you think about leeto, think out of the box. Think out of this planet, think as far as your mind can go because possibilities are boundless, this is the time where I learned that.
I learned that badimo will call us all in different ways to do different things in different spaces, can never compare gifts or maeto abathu. Okay so that evening I called my mother...*phone ringing, mother picks up*
Ma:Hello Ne, unjani?
Me: Mama I AM NOT OKAY I AM FREAKING OUT, WHAT IS HAPPENING?? I AM SOO SCARED!
Ma: What is the matter? Calm down...
Me: CALM DOWN? CALM DOWN MA? I AM HERE AT THIS PLACE ABO GOGO BANGILETHE LA BANGIVALELA ANGISAKWAZI UKUHAMBA. BATHI ABO GOGO MELE NGIYOTHWASA HAIBO MAMA I NEED UR HELP! You need to come uzongiphahlela and you know I don't even know how to phahla, I dont even know izibongo zam I just know yours...
Ma: You know we don't do those things here at home Ne...
You get the gist, my mother wasn't trying to get involved. This was blasphemy, this was against the lord we didn't believe in these things.
Ha I am alone now so I am talking to bogogo in my head on some, "You guys better make this work, since yall are geniuses at making plans for other people that they don't know about!"
Okay so ngaziphahlela, ngaphahlelwa ngabe ngingenile ephehlweni! On that day, right there and then. I was in and igobongo leli bali celile was being prepared, so Monday morning I was to wake up 3am ngishaye ibhudlu.
