[''IT'S ABOUT TIME'' BY

BOOM SHAKA PLAYING]

Look, if you want me

to keep dancing then

give me a sign.

And hope, something.

Give me a sign.

So

[IN ZULU] Here's the space.

It just needs a bit of cleaning,

but it's big enough.

What do you think, girls?

[CHUCKLES]

Honestly

[IN ZULU] Cool space, bro Zo.

But

of having this big rehearsal space

if Ntombi quits?

[IN ZULU] Remember, you are

Zulu girls. You don't quit.

Talk to Ntombi and convince

her to come back to the group.

Let's put in some work here.

[IN ZULU] Let's clean.

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

[MPILO, IN ZULU] Ah! Listen. [GROANS]

I agree. I say yes.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

This jazz song that inspired my hook,

best ever made.

Way to go, Hugh Masekela!

Stop it, man. [LAUGHS]

Wow, friend. This song has

it has that wow factor!

It has a certain je ne sais quoi.

But there is one thing

you need to learn.

You need to learn to be a good salesman.

- You see now

- I am telling you,

good salesmen know how to push CD sales

and sell their stuff, you see.

They once said

[ROMANTIC GUITAR MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh, beautiful lady.

There is beauty in truth.

I must admit, you're the

most beautiful woman

I have ever seen in my life.

[IN ZULU] There's a

sadness in your eyes.

If only you would let me

in to wipe it all away.

Completely.

My heart dances to a

million songs for you.

But you and I, one day we'll

dance together to one song.

- Hello.

- Hello.

[IN ZULU] We don't sell water, but

- [IN ZULU] Just rinse out the jug.

- Mpilo, stop.

Actually, I wanted change.

- [BHEKI] Yes.

[THROBBING MUSIC PLAYING]

[BHEKI] Oh, here.

[IN ZULU] What?

- [SCOFFS]

You walked off yesterday before

I could give you something.

I don't need anything from you.

Do you still remember this?

It's the promise we made

to each other, remember?

And I still kept yours all these years.

Well, I'm sorry because I

don't know where yours is.

[NATHI] You know what?

Keep it, maybe it will remind

you of where you left mine.

[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]

Is this you?

Yes.

[IN ZULU] Just a little

something I do on the side.

Okay.

Ah! No, I

[IN ZULU] Thank you, sister.

In fact, you are R10 short.

Okay.

[BHEKI] All right, ciao.

[IN ZULU] You're the man.

You are a fool.

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Menzi is not romantic!

Menzi is not romantic, huh? [KISSES]

I made you some tea, my lady.

Oh.

Just a measly tea? I thought

I ordered a café latte.

Café latte.

[IN ZULU] In a shack?

- There's no way.

- [LAUGHTER]

- No, no, no.

As soon as the girls and I win

the competition, I promise you,

I'm gonna be out of here and I'll

get myself my own apartment, hm?

[IN ZULU] You only know

how to plan for yourself.

I don't like that. I want

you to make plans for us.

[SIGHS]

Us? Move in together?

[IN ZULU] Forget it.

down that road with you.

Then let's take a different road.

[IN ZULU] I promise, I will

leave my hustling behind

if you do the same.

[IN ZULU] You're the laces to my shoes.

And I know you love me too.

Menzi, I hear you.

But of the many things I am

willing to put myself through,

I'm not going to be with a man

that walks around with

spray paint in the pocket.

[BOTH] Ah, ah, ah!

- That was for you. [LAUGHING]

- [LAUGHING]

That was for you, okay?

But-but I'm be I'm being serious.

[IN ZULU] Let's make this happen.

- Nine to five.

- No.

You don't have the range for that.

I'll have the range for that,

when it comes to you.

On one condition though.

Promise me.

[IN ZULU] You will stop with Blessers.

[SCOFFS]

Ahh [KISSES]

- Stop it.

- Come here, baby!

You're early. And you

have a mop in your hand.

Look, Gugu wasn't in, so I took

it upon myself to clean the floor.

And I did the toilet and

I have a tour later on.

That's why I needed to be tough on you.

You keep this up,

you're going to be employee of

the month, I am telling you.

- What?

- Mm-hmm!

And get a little bonus.

Wow! Hey, Ntombi! I like it.

[IN ZULU] Hey, you still don't want

to tell us what happened there?

What are you talking about?

You are very secretive.

What happened between you and Nolwazi?

happened, we just talked.

[IN ZULU] You talked all night?

That's bullshit. Did you

sleep with her or not?

and for you to find out, okay?

Lwazi! Lwazi! Hey!

- Hey.

- Yeah, um, where are you going?

Oh, I'm just getting my hair done.

Oh, I can keep you company

while you do that.

[IN ZULU] No, it's okay. I'll be fine.

you wanna go get something

to eat after this?

- I just had my lunch, actually.

- Can I give you a call later on?

Oh, I have so much homework tonight.

But, we can talk at school?

Yeah. Sure, sure, sure, no problem.

- Yeah.

- Okay. Oh, oh.

[SAMU] Hmm. Okay.

[CHUCKLES] I'll see you.

[ZINHLE] Okay. Okay, one more time.

Five, six, five, six.

[IN ZULU] Here we go!

[IN ZULU] No, let's do it again.

Yo! My Trollies, my Trollies.

[IN ZULU] We're slacking

because Ntombi is not here?

No, honestly, why are we rehearsing?

[IN ZULU] Let's just

quit, guys, it's over.

speak for yourself.

I need this money, so

with or without Ntombi,

we're gonna win this thing.

[IN ZULU] Oh, there it is.

colors start to show.

Been waiting for this moment.

Let me understand.

Ntombi starts this group,

got you into this group.

[IN ZULU] What's in it for you?

you from the beginning?

I think that someone here

is very opportunistic.

[IN ZULU] Who are you

talking about? Just say it.

what I'm talking about.

- [IN ZULU] Speak!

- Open a dictionary.

- How about close your legs?

- [LADY E, IN ZULU] Stop it!

Whoa!

This is why I don't do girl groups.

You guys are petty.

You're supposed to be

role models to Nolwazi,

but you're out here acting

younger than she is.

- [IN ZULU] No, she

- Stop, Zinhle, relax, my friend.

I could be making money, but

I am out here with you girls.

So, get your sh*t together.

We need to focus on what is important.

And that is getting Ntombi

back so we can win this thing.

- [IN ZULU] Are we together?

- Yeah.

[VUYISWA] Jeez.

[INDISTINCT MUTTERING]

then, uh, let's carry on.

Should we take it from

the top? Okay, let's go.

[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]

[NOLWAZI] We can do this.

Five, six, seven, and gagagagaga.

- [SAMU] Mama.

- [LAUGHING]

[NTOMBI] Welcome home, Mom.

Imagine being welcomed

into your own house.

[IN ZULU] You know, you two.

I made this sign, as you can see.

Mm-hmm. Me, me, me.

That's so like you.

[SIGHS]

doctor sent me an e-mail about

[IN ZULU] What did the doctor say?

[IN ZULU] Jeez, why are you

treating me like a patient?

carry on as usual, guys?

I'm not learning dance steps.

[IN ZULU] I'm not like you.

[IN ZULU] I have quit the competition.

Oh

[CHUCKLES]

[KISSES]

It's good to be home.

[IN ZULU] Madlamini, tell me something.

that she has quitting?

It's for the best.

[IN ZULU] What about Samu?

Samu is just a child,

he doesn't have a job to

worry about like Ntombi.

[IN ZULU] We have a lot to discuss.

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]

[RHYTHMIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[MELLOW SAXOPHONE MUSIC PLAYING]

Why don't you do something about it.

[IN ZULU] Why don't you take

rehabilitation seriously?

You know I worry about Ntombi.

- What if she ends up like him?

- She won't, she is too strong.

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

- Please step in.

- You called me.

You want to talk to me, so you step out.

[SIGHS]

So what do you want? Car, flat?

[SCOFFS]

A million rand.

[IN ZULU] You're taking

chances, aren't you?

I'll make sure that you

have a place to live

and grocery money every month.

But that's it.

You must sign this.

It's a non-disclosure agreement.

- Happy?

- Ecstatic.

You will not go to the press.

You will not claim that

as Themba's child,

and you will stay away from my husband.

- [SCOFFS]

- First month's allowance.

[CHUCKLES] You know,

I knew you were the smart one

in the marriage. [LAUGHING]

[IN ZULU] Go!

Thanks for meeting me.

[IN ZULU] I am also happy

that you contacted me.

Where did you find that song?

[IN ZULU] the one you remixed.

Oh! [LAUGHS]

There was an old shop

that was closing here.

[IN ZULU] They sold cheap records

when I first moved from my village.

Do you know the song?

Yes, I do know it.

It's actually my father's song.

Whoa.

Are you telling me that

Jabu Xaba is your father?

[IN ZULU] Jabu Xaba is a legend.

[IN ZULU] Maybe if I hadn't

stayed so long in my village

I would have met him.

- Where are you going now?

- Come, follow me.

Okay.

[SOFT GUITAR MUSIC PLAYING]

You know, I've never seen

this view from up here.

me up here when I was a kid.

You see?

[IN ZULU] Right there.

and then right next door to it

is Pastor Mlhongo's church.

- [IN ZULU] Wait.

- [LAUGHING]

You're telling me there is

a church next to a tavern?

Dad used to say that

people get drunk on

Saturday night at eRoyal,

then sneak into church

on Sunday morning

One thing remains the same.

I'm still here.

Don't you sometimes

want to do something big

[IN ZULU] with your life?

Like right now.

Hurry up, boy, hurry up.

Sure.

I guess every one wants to be a star.

[IN ZULU] We're not all the same.

to be under the spotlight

and the rest, well

Whoever you are, keep the

I take after my father.

That when he looks at

me, he sees all the hopes

and dreams of his late brother.

[PHONE PINGS]

For the longest time,

I was afraid to follow my dreams.

I listened to everyone else

[NTOMBI] Mama.

Ntombi!

[NTOMBI] You used to

say this is real life.

Ntombi!

You also said,

don't let your dreams get in

the way of what's important.

But the thing is,
