Chapter 37 Ndeva ukuba ezi zaphaya ekhaya iintombi zasiyeka isikolo, seyinguAmkelwa yedwa owenza loo nkwalambisa yokungathi uyafunda although she was busy having an affair with a taxi man. UMinji told me that uNomisile akakwazi nokumthethisa kuba uza nemali endlini and uAyanda wasiyeka isikolo ubamba iipiece jobs, uAndiswa waya eKapa, uAnelisiwe yena uyahlalisana eMonti nepolisa. Nyani ke uAmkelwa ndambona ngakwaTops etown ekhwele uSABTA oblue, phofu wenza ngathi akandiboni, nam ndazixelela ukuba akukho niks endiyicengileyo kuye. Ukhe uve mos xa kusithiwa iintombi zamaSwati zintle. Ezi zaphaya ekhaya iintombi zaziqhathwa ngamasoka ngenxa yobuhle athi azakubatshata angaze abatshate. Nam ndandidlalwa ngamadoda etsalwa kukujongeka kwam, kuthi ke mna ngenxa yokuba ndihleli nje ndikhangela uthando endandingazanga ndalufumana, ndibone sendiseyele emgibeni. Nangona kunjalo, ndandisamthembile uThixo ukuba uzakundiphakamisa andinyuse ngenye imini. Watshata ke usisi Lwandisa on the Christmas day kokwabo eTshungwana (Osborn) then nge 26th umtshato wawuseNjijini kulomyeni. Ndakhe ndapholisa ingqondo ndikunye nefamily kasisi Lwandisa nabantwana bakokwabo okwezo ntsukwana. Usisi Lwandisa wayezakuhlala nomyeni wakhe endlini yomyeni wakhe so she told me ukuba la ndlu eberenta kuyo eSophia uzayinikezela. I asked her ukuba ndiyirente for the month of January ndibe ndihlala kuyo whilst ndisakhangela umsebenzi. She agreed and I gave her money from my savings. Wandiboleka yonke ifurniture yakhe so ndaqalisa ukufuna umsebenzi after iNew Year. People were afraid to hire me with my qualifications, but eneneni mna I was not looking for something that had to do with Law, I just wanted any type of job even if it was sweeping the streets or scrubing floors. Ndandifaka iCV yam almost kuyo yonke indawo, ndandide ndiye nase Mount Ayliff, Kokstad, Qumbu and Mthatha. Akukho ndawo ndandide ndibizwe kuyo tu. UJanuary wayesiya ekupheleni, ndabe ndingekafumani nto and nendawo yokuhlala yayizawuphela. I was left with only three months ndibe na 21 years. Ngobo busuku,I slept dreaming about my 21st birthday, ingathi ndihleli between umama notate, in a big hall with beautiful decorations, full of food, people and all the glamour. My alarm rang, it was 5:30 am, mfncmm kanti ndiyaphupha, besendithe nqa ukuba why umama notate bendithanda kangaka. I woke up and quickly washed. Ndandizayofaka iapplication and my CV eHome Affairs because I saw the advert from the Daily Dispatch. I went to the hiking spot kuba ndandingxamile ndizakuqala ePost Office to certify my documents. Nyani ke ndayifumana ihike kwangoko, yaqhwitha loo Sentra ukuya eMonti. Apha endleleni sancokola naloo mfana wayeyiqhuba ndabe ndimxelela ukuba ndiyofaka iapplication for umsebenzi. Yayingu Mandlenkosi Somtsewu, engowaseTabankulu but esebenza eMonti kwaMercedes Benz eWestbank ehlala eMdantsane kwa NU2 koo47. Wayerenta indlu ke pha. Ndambona ukuba unaso isincwasana, wandixelela ukuba uhlala necolleague yakhe ku two bedroomed house so I can come and stay with him ndide ndifumane umsebenzi. Kwakusekushiyeke six days before the end of January so I agreed to his proposal. I called sisi Lwandisa and she said she was going to arrange for transport to fetch her furniture. I told her uba nam ndizakube ndikhona because I still need to go and take my things. Ngaloo mini yaseMonti ke ndasele ndiyofaka iCV yam nakwezinye iidepartments so ndalala kwaMandla ngaloo mini. He was a gentleman so he gave me his bed and he slept on the couch. I was very tired so ndalala cum ndayokothuka kusasa sele endibekele namanzi okuvasa. Ndavasa but kuba ndandingaphethanga mpahla yokutshintsha, ndaba ngu girl yesterday. UMandla wandibeka kwiitaxi eziya eBisho/Kwt ndayofaka nakhona. We exchanged phone numbers then ndamxelela ukuba ndizakumfounela ngemini endibuya ngayo. I went back to Mount Frere after I have finished then I phoned usis’Lwandi. We met at the house then yafika itruck yathutha iimpahla. I went to sleep at Phoenix Hotel that night nangona ndandisendigcisa kuba imali yayicutheka and kungekho nto ifumanekayo kwicala lomsebenzi. I thought of going back to Johannesburg. Thinking of Johannesburg, I called Resho. She told me that she was sorry that I had to go without seeing her.
