“Hey my man, what are you thinking about? You have suddenly gone quiet, come on. What’s up?” Mlu asks his friend Simo who seems to be deep in thought. It’s been really trying times for him and his girlfriend Lee-Ann who’s still at home with her parents. He and the boys have decided to hang out and have a little braai at JB's place, just to get their minds of things.
“Oh no man, I’m sorry my mind is just a little all over the place these days. I’m just trying to figure things out a bit hey” Simo says as he slips on his beer. It’s a beautiful clear sky evening, they are chilling on the lawn as the meat is on the braai stand. JB has a complex house in the middle class suburb where he lives with his 9-year-old daughter Nkanyezi and his sister, Thandeka who’s 5 years younger than him.
