[bunniefuu]

- Do we know who did this to Grandpa?
- Zakhele!

I'm asking because I know you have been
waiting to k*ll him all along.

Zakhele!

Zakhele, why would you say that
your father wanted to k*ll your grandpa?

Everyone knows, Auntie.
The whole family witnessed it.

Everyone knows that
they were always fighting and disagreeing.

We all saw what happened at lunch
just before Grandpa died, right?

I'm not an idiot.

You're used to messing with
people's lives, Mandla,

but this time
you will face the consequences.

Gentlemen,

this cow will be used to usher Gatsheni
into the land of our ancestors.

Gentlemen, what's happening?
Why isn't this cow moving?

Not even a single sound? What's going on?

That's not a good sign.

Promise me?

Why would Zakhele think it's okay
to bring her to Grandpa's funeral?

He's trying to annoy me as usual.

Hello.

Is this the infamous Ndlovu mansion?

This is the famous Ndlovu family.

Let's go inside.

It looks amazing.

Don't let your eyes deceive you.

I'm outside by the cars.

Okay. I have to go.

I love you too.

Who was that?

Just someone sending their condolences.

Do you know that, since all this started,

you haven't shed a single tear?

Do you remember when my father died?

I rested my head on your shoulder
and I cried the whole night.

So, whose shoulder are you crying on?

Who gets to hold you?

But some matters are just for family.

And, Siya, all I ask

is that you allow me to be here for you.

You're right.

You really do support me.

You know, when I look at all this,

I wonder
how I could have done it without you.

Thank you, love.

The pastors have arrived, Mom.

You know...

your father said
there was something that he had to do.

He said he was even willing to die for it.

I should've known it would end this way.

Khanyi, I should have stopped him.

Mom, don't blame yourself.

Dad knew that cleaning up Spear

came with danger.

But it ended in vain.

Nothing is going to change.

It will always be this way.

Let me help you with the hat.

"I came from the Father
and entered the world.

Now I am leaving the world
and going back to the Father."

Lord, keep the ones
you have blessed me with.

Jesus said,
"I am the resurrection and the life.

The one who believes in me will live,
even though they die.

And whoever lives
by believing in me will never die."

This is his land,

this is his family,

and these were his people.

He was born here.

This is where his father
taught him how to farm.

It is on this land where he lived
a happy and peaceful life.

Be that as it may,
he had many obstacles in his life.

Rest in peace.

Boyabenyathi...

Mpongo kaZingelwayo.

Rest in peace, Mthiyane.

Gatsheni.

My people,

I stand before you here today
to conduct a very sacred custom.

To pass on this spear
to the next one in line

to lead my brother's family.

With respect and humility,

I hand this spear to his son.

His firstborn son,

Mandlakayise.

- Son.
- Yes, Uncle.

Gatsheni. Boyabenyathi.

Mpongo kaZingelwayo.

It falls on you now
to lead this family and protect it.

I was not expecting to see you here.

Everyone is allowed to pay their respects
when someone has kicked the bucket.

We didn't know we need an invite.

Listen, there's something we need
to talk about when you can.

Or should we talk to Mandla?

Leave Mandla out of this.

You couldn't allow us to mourn in peace?

What kind of people are you?

Our bad, Boyabenyathi.

- We'll work together, Brother.
- Thank you, sir.

- There we go.
- Greetings.

- Thank you for your support.
- Greetings. You're welcome.

How are you doing?

Yes, boy.

Later today
there'll be a reading of the will.

Why? What's the rush?

It was your father's wish.

Please don't leave.

Thank you.

I'm telling you, it just kicked. It went...

Hey, Gatsheni.

Join us.

There you go.

- Yes.
- Yeah.

We were just talking about you.

Come this side, young man.

There we go.

Let's grab some of this.

Yes. To my brother.

- Boyabenyathi.
- Gatsheni!

A true hero.

Mzilikazi kaMashobane.

Before my dad died,
he wanted to restructure the company.

But there were some that opposed that.

And some turned against him.

Are some of those people here?

You see, over there is Minister Titus.

Your father got him that position.

And he recently shut down
our biggest construction project.

I see they're sitting
with Councillor Sibusiso.

Oh, he actually gave your father
acres of land to grow sugar-cane.

He suddenly took it back and sold it
to the man with a beard, Zungu.

If your father was here,
he would tell them all to piss off.

And more that aren't even here.

You're disturbing us.

You're really hell-bent on destroying us?

No.

I only intend on destroying you.

Careful, because you're on thin ice
for your stunt yesterday.

What are you going to do, Mandla?

Tell me, Son.

What gives you the impression
that I could hurt your grandpa?

You know, Thuli told me that Grandpa
was hesitant about giving you Spear.

The same company you love
more than your own blood.

What do you have to say about that?

If you were around more, you would know
I only want the best for this family.

Look, Mandla.
I'm just here to bury Grandpa.

Just to pay my respects, then go back to
my life. I'm not here for you.

Then keep your mouth shut
while you're here.

Mr. Ndlovu.
It's a pleasure to finally meet you.

He said your father was an honorable man.

How does your father know my father?

He is one of the drivers
for Spear Industries.

Sipho Nkala.

You're fraternizing
with the enemy now, Zakhele?

Your father is the union's chairperson.

His strike last year
cost us a lot of money.

There are many things
far more valuable than money.

Like family.

Hopefully someday you'll realize that too.

Siya invited me.

Listen, I don't care
that you're sleeping with him.

But you must know that you're not family.

He asked me to come and support him.

Why would you do that? I'm right here.

Maybe that's not enough.

The difference between you and me
is the pipe between your legs.

- Is everything okay?
- You have no shame, you know that?

If people found out about this,
it would all end.

No one is going to find out
about anything. You need to calm down.

Me? Are you saying this is my fault?

- I'm not saying it's your fault, but...
- What are you saying?

No, you can't leave.

Nido. I said no.
Go find someone else to talk to.

That's no way to speak to our child.

Are you mad?

Or is it because of him?

Nido!

Thanks for coming, even though
I knew it wouldn't be easy with Gabisile.

Don't worry,
you'll always have my support.

You know, hell and high waters combined
are nothing compared to Gabisile.

You'll call me?

But there's something I want to ask you.

I don't know, maybe
what I'm about to ask is a bit strange.

Will you please accompany me
to my father's grave?

Probably later.

Siya!

- Please talk to him.
- Okay, Bro.

Come!

Come!

This land is all yours?

Why are you crying?

- Here, this is our land. You see?
- Yes, Dad.

What did you say?

This is our land, you see?

Look at this too. Look here.

I'm going home, Dad.

All of it is yours,
but only if you want it.

You used to dream of running Spear.

An elephant herd is led by a strong queen.

Is Khanyisile joining us?

Khanyisile doesn't care about any of this.

Let's give her a few more minutes.

Actually, I don't think she'll make it.

Okay. All right, then.

Let's begin.

These are Gatsheni's wishes.

No one is obligated,

but everyone must sign to acknowledge

that they will respect the successor
who will be chosen by MaDlamini.

Mother, please sign.

Thank you.

Siyanda Ndlovu.

Khanyisile Adesina.

I accept.
