[ IN BOTSWANA ]
Samkelo just landed in GaRankuwa, Botswana .He came in a private jet the quickest way to fly . He gets into the car he hired and tells the driver to drive him to the nearest mall from where he was but he's not aware this place is sort of a village so malls are mostly located in Gaborone .
The driver stops at some fast food place infact it's a shisanyama restaurant and Samkelo looks at the driver with a frown on his face .
Samkelo : l thought l said you should drive me to the mall.
Driver: l know but sir this is GaRankuwa not the Joburg suburbs.
Samkelo : hmmm
He dails Dintles number before he could say anything disrespect towards the driver .
Dintle had to keep her phone close by to avoid being shouted at by Ragadi Stompie . She immediately answers her phone walking outside the house .
Dintle : Samkelo are you still coming ?
Samkelo: Seng'khona , can you see a blue BMW parked near the shebeen ?
Dintle: Eya , why?
Samkelo : You must get inside it l hired a driver to come fetch you , uzong'thola at this shisanyama restaurant .
Dintle : Okay l pray l don't get into trouble for leaving aunt's chickens unguarded .
Samkelo (chuckles) : You won't .
Dintle : Okay then sharp .
she drops the call and looks around before opening the gate hoping Ragadi Stompie doesn't see her , she runs towards the car getting in before greeting .
Dintle : Please take me to Samkelo .
Driver : Yes ma'am .
