[bunniefuu]

Well, the latest is, I've told security
to be on the look out for Mandla.

And I also think that
you should get a bodyguard.

Mzilikazi kaMashobane.

MaGatsheni.

Change takes time.

It's not easy.

Give them some time.

You can do this.

Think she'll like me?

She'll love your work,
so she'll love you too.

But only if you carry yourself well.

Right.

I just wish that
I was meeting her as my mother-in-law.

I know.

I would have liked that too.

But we both know how difficult that is.

It can never happen.

And I also knew
what I was getting myself into.

My love.

I'm sorry.

I understand and I hear you.

And I promised myself
not to live that lie anymore.

But you also have to consider
that this isn't just about me.

The person who supports me
in everything I do.

A handsome husband.
What about me, what do I have? Huh?

You're so ungrateful.

The only thing Gabisile asks of us
is that we respect her.

We all know that it's you she wants.

So tell me.

How long are things going to be like this?

You know exactly what living a lie
did to your father.

And with you? How will it end?

Is this seat taken?

You'll see.

Hey, fly!

Stop pestering her, move it! Move it!

Have it your way.

I've been to jail, she doesn't scare me.

Would you like some tea?

No, thanks.

Please, sit down.

You're here about Mandla, right, Ma?

No, I want you and I
to have dinner together tonight.

- I can't, Ma, things are hectic here.
- Khanyi.

Didn't you say
you want to be a part of this family?

And this company?

So, you and I, my child,
are going to sit down and eat.

We have a lot to talk about.

What I need you to do, my baby,
is to stick to your aunt like glue.

Watch her every move. Understood?

Yes.

The base, the body and the head.

The top half will be held up by cables,

so that there is enough space
to walk in the lobby.

I got my inspiration
from how this hotel was built.

As you can see from the pose.

What exactly am I looking at here?

I thought we were getting
a warrior statue.

Ma'am, he is a warrior,
just not in the traditional sense.

My boy, in the Ndlovu household,
we respect tradition.

And we do things the traditional way.

But then let me allow you to finish

because I can't critique something
before it's complete.

Will you please excuse me,
I have something I must see to.

Ma, was that really necessary?

You said you liked it.

I liked the drawing, Siya.

Not what I'm seeing right now.

You know, this event is very important.

It's what our family needs.

We need to present a united front.

How are we united
when Khanyisile just fired Mandla?

Leave Khanyi and Mandla to me.

I will deal with them.

I hope you're not angry with me.

About what's happening
between your father and I.

And by the way, Sister,

you might want to urgently book
an appointment with the nurse.

Because you don't know what
you may have contracted from your loser.

Disgusting.

Yes, girl.

Vusi, please say grace.

God bless this food
and the hands that made it.

I would like to start off by saying
thank you all for coming today.

These past few weeks
have been hard on all of us.

But I am happy that
we're still together and united.

Especially now that we are approaching
the 25th anniversary of Spear.

What's important is
the success of this company and family.

That we always remain united.

Loving each other and being united.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

I would like to present this bottle
that we have made at Spear.

In Dad's honor.

It will be available in all our hotels,

and it will be served
at all anniversaries.

Well done, bro! Well done.
You're in a different league, bro.

Well done, Brother.

Well done, young man.

Your father would have been proud.

Thank you, Uncle.

Mandla. What do you think, my boy?

It doesn't matter what I think.

Because I'm no longer part of Spear.

No, what are you saying, Uncle? Ma?

Well, while you've been
training for the SA Nationals,

your mother fired me.

Stay out of grown folks' business, okay?

You hear me?

Khanyisile, I called you here
so we could talk about this family.

Changing your mind on what?

Do you have experience?

Mandla has been working here for years.
He has experience. You need him.

But we all know that
this family survives off the hotels.

Which are run by Siya.

Girl, is this a competition?

Mandlakayise,
you're coming back to Spear, right?

Khanyisile.

I see now, Mother.

This why you invited me for dinner.

Because you want to force me
to bring Mandla back to Spear.

That's not happening, Ma.

Khanyisile, the purpose
of this dinner is to unite this family.

What do you think your father would say?

Dad did not want Mandla running Spear.

Khanyisile, you promised me!

Look here, man,

I'm doing everything I can
to get things back on track.

You don't have to worry.

I have to go.

Man, your mother won't be
coming out for the rest of the night.

I thought as much.

I'm guessing you already have a plan.

You sister is out of control.

Uncle, when have I ever not had a plan?

You see Khanyisile...
In fact, this whole company,

we're going to collapse them.

Bring them to their knees,
and make them bow to us.

Begging.

What do you have in mind?

I found the others in the bushes, so...

Mother and Siyanda will come
running to me to sell their shares.

Begging me to come back.

That will be the end of Spear
if we do that.

There's no other way.

We have hit them so hard that
it's too heavy for Khanyisile to bear.

So heavy that she resigns as CEO.

It's a risk.

A big one.

I hear you.
