CHAPTER 5
NGWENYA
Life is indeed unpredictable , who would have thought I Ngwenya would meet a woman ? I smile to myself she's absolutely perfect for me , I'm intrigued by her love for feminism , her confidence and she's not an easy but to crack .
“ what has gotten you smitten like that ? ” I look up it's my PA Mvuso “ sit ” he takes his sit and I pour us some whiskey “ I met someone ” I bluntly say and he looks ...take back or shocked angazi nami . “ don't look at my like I'm not cable of getting myself a woman ” he chuckles .
“ What do you think and faminism ? ” by the way his looking at me I swear his about to spit nonsense “ hayi hayi what's feminism manje ? ” i sigh something I forget that Mvuso can be too much and now I have to explain to him in single details .
“ well in simple terms I'd say th advocacy of women's rights ”
“ I do believe in feminism it's just that alot of women are silenced and can't voice out it's just alot why are you so interested in feminism all of a sudden ? ” I gulp down my whiskey and my mind just drift to Ore she's so young and intelligent . “ hee your blushing ? Don't tell me this woman your talking about got you by the balls ”
“ you won't understand Mvuso , she just different from all the girls ” I take my phone and text her , I know she's in school but my wish is to hear her voice before my meeting . She reply my text and I ask her if she's in class , she respond saying their outside for orientation this is my opportunity .
“ MaZulu ” she giggles damn only if I could see her “ Sawubona Mageba ” I feel things happening to my body , but there's an idiot in front of me . “ how are you ? I miss you Mazulu ” Mvuso gives me a look and I show him the door , he gulps down his drink and walk out “ don't call me that Ngwenya I'm not married to you ”
“ yet , I want to take you out this coming weekend are you available ? ” she goes quiet and I hear a bit of whispering in the background “ well I'm available for the day Mr Zulu ” my heart drops damn I nearly died from a heart attack “ perfect we'll talk later Ms President ” she giggles and end the call .

My big headed friends are screaming like why are girls this dramatic ? “ guys you can't be screaming like that ” they giggled and Mpumelelo approached us “ well tell me about it ” he frowns who does that ? “ Ngwenya asked her out ”
“ A real man who believes in feminism ” we all laugh “ Ngwenya the master of Period simulator ” Thembi says , “ no guys you forgot enthusiast ”
The teacher calls us in and we walk back to our respective classes “ Well as we all know this school is of excellence and all about Equality in both genders , we have a debate competition that will be held my the minister of education herself ”
The class went crazy “ okay calm down , you won't all be there each school from our district has to choose only a group of five people who will be participating so right now I need you in groups , I will hands you out your particular topics and you will get to discuss it but the debate will be held on Saturday in front of all our school learners and the team that will be the winner gets to represent this school ”
We clap hands and everyone begin shifting , I'm with Mpumelelo my twin brother , my two friends Thembi and Lerato and Njabulo “ Mr Nyeleti what about our English debate project ? ” I ask because we had already prepared ourselves for it.
“ Ms.Moyo will come and explain this further more it's still your project though it comes with a price , a price to represent our school in one of the biggest competitions held at the hall of fame and it doesn't end there you get to go further more by competing on a provincial, National level who knows you might even find yourselves in a flight going to USA or China ? ”
We scream in excitement this is our moment to shine “ guys we have to go to the library today and get some few books to help us with our topic ” Lerato suggest and we all agree “ and I vote for Ore as our leader ” that's Mpumelelo they all agree but Njabs was a bit skeptical “ I don't think Njabulo likes the idea we should swap him and get Sbu ” I whisper to Lerato and she nods “ don't worry I got this handled ”
My friend is the master mind in coming up with ideas and plans so I trust her . We continue chatting and Lerato disappears somewhere in class but I'm not worried it must be part of the plan .
