When did this happen?

I don't know, principal.

How did they get in?

I don't know.

Maybe there's a hole somewhere?

Psst!

Shit! Javas, Javas?

- Your father's outside. - Mm?

- Isaac Hayes is outside. - What?

He's outside and already up.

Grandma.

I need money for school books.

Gosh.

These kids and money. Mm-uh.

They want money all the time.

Two--

Never mind, I'll try elsewhere, Grandma.

So you're going to your brother now?

I told you not to use his money.

But we use it to buy food.

That doesn't matter, it is wrong to do so.

What if he goes to prison? No, man.

Go to him then, man.

Money! Money at all times.

‪

- Gosh, boy. - Hi.

I'm good. Look,

don't do that again.

I'm going to trouble you, brother.

What is it now?

I need R20 to pay for a school textbook.

As you know, it's the first day of school today.

- For school, come here. - Thanks.

Bobo, wake up...

Why're you waking me up so rudely?

I was busy with the Boom Shaka girl.

Speaking of which, did you find her?

Stop masturbating. Let's go.

I'm interested to know what they'll say about our graffiti.

Java's father is still outside.

Please leave.

What's this you're holding?

A bursary book. I want to apply for one.

But we talked about this.

That I was going to pay for your law studies.

I was planning to tell you.

I don't want to be a lawyer anymore.

- What? - I've decided to be a writer.

A writer?

I think that's sexy.

Sister, please behave.

I'm talking to my brother.

You know what,

you'll have a small brain if you were to become a writer.

You know?

Be a lawyer or else I won't pay for your studies.

But that's what I want to do.

You know what, come here.

Look at me.

I know what you want,

but you must consider me and Grandma.

It's about all of us.

It's not about you.

Do you understand?

Ma, look

this skirt is too short. I can't go to school looking like this.

It looks fine to me.

No, my legs would be exposed.

I'll be a laughing stock to the school kids.

There's nothing wrong with your legs, Nomsa.

Take the belt off, and your skirt will be long.

Why're you complaining because you're wearing a mini skirt?

You're full of it.

- I'll slap you. - Don't fight. Gosh, you two.

Have you all brought your books?

Yes, Sir.

Can I see you, boy?

What standard are you registering for?

Standard seven.

How old are you?

23.

Okay.

Go back to the queue.

This is not your textbook. Where's yours?

No, Sir. As you know, the state of finances are bad.

So, people are forced to take other people's things.

Oh, so you were forced to take this one?

No, Sir.

A good try my boy,

but you must pay the money before I can register you. Next.

I'm worried about some of the students.

- Hello. - Hi. She's stunning.

Morning, Mr. Mthembu.

Morning, Miss Cele.

I'd like you to make the acquaintance

of our science HOD, Mr. Kabelu.

Hi.

Hello.

The staffroom is down the corridor, Miss Cele.

Okay.

Straight from university,

teaching English and Guidance.

It is what it is, bro.

Life is--

Boom! Yeah.

These people are feeling sorry for you.

Piss off! This thing of yours doesn't work.

Give me back my R10!

Don't throw my book like that.

Are you still a thief?

- Me? - Yes.

What do I steal, bro? I don't steal, I only repossess.

You know how it is.

Let's go and check out that side.

- Don't be angry. - Hi, gents.

How can you be angry over a lousy R10?

- A grown man like you. - This guy is an idiot.

- No, man. - Hey, Nomsa.

Did you repossess that skirt from your baby sister?

Repossess? Don't mess with me!

Nomsa, if only I could have

chillies with those thighs.

Chillies? Chillies are those so-called legs of yours.

Hi, Cuz.

- Hi, Zaza. - I thought I was first,

- but you're already here. - How are you?

I'm good and you?

Missing you.

- Would you like some? - No.

I know I shouldn't,

but I can never resist the chips from Ma Jodana.

What are you doing?

Hey, I'm just trying to go over this lesson plan.

Relax, Cuz.

Relax. There won't be any lessons today or tomorrow.

It's going to take us a week to drop a timetable.

Are you sure you don't want some chips?

No, thanks.

Sure, sure?

Sure, sure.

How were your holidays?

Whoa, gosh.

I was so bored sitting with my grand folks in the rural. It was so hot.

- Yoh! - Shame.

And how were yours?

I helped my mom at the hospital.

It's good practice. I want to be a doctor.

You go, girl.

I went to watch Men in Black with my sibling.

I saw the handsome, Will Smith.

Oh, my goodness.

I bought a CD

by Anita Baker. Rapture, friend.

I know that one.

I like it so much.

♪ Caught up in the rapture of love-- ♪

What is it, granny? Why're you crying?

You're wearing a mini-skirt and exposing your thighs.

No, man!

How were your holidays, friend?

As usual, friend.

House parties and bashes. I was getting down.

- Aaah! - Hi, I'm Dudu, she's Nomsa.

Hazel.

Hazel is a showstopper.

Wherever she is, boys go crazy.

You go, girl.

You've got this.

Um... can we go and register?

Sure.

Oh, the top dog!

There we go, man.

Ah,

the guy who was top of the class last year.

You, guys!

The prisoner is happy.

So you guys wrote the graffiti.

Bobo!

Tell Papa Action to get a new student this year.

I've had enough.

‪

What's happening?

Zaza.

You look beautiful!

That dress was made for you.

- You like it? - It's good for hiding things.

Have you met my cousin Zoe?

- She's joining us this year. - Oh. Hi Zoe.

- Hi. - Wow.

Are those still in fashion this year?

Feel ashamed.

Phew! What a lot of books!

Aren't we enthusiastic?

You know you can tell a new teacher a mile off.

Look! Ken has just arrived, in a BMW!

Please Papa Action.

Not again. I beg you.

Are you finished?

Huh?

Are you finished?

Shicks.

Take him.

Get in.

Get inside man!

Ok.

Shicks.

Take him.

This is the bursary I want.

- Is this the one? - Hmm.

I'll have to score in history.

Why must we black people beg to get what we need?

I'm prepared to sacrifice to get what I want.

I'd rather steal.

I'd rather become a thief.

A life of crime not for me.

Hey, chocolate boy!

Why didn't you guys help me?

Shit... come and wash.

Yuck, Bobo!

The guy smells.

You're stupid, all of you.

Hey you, Father Christmas.

You, Mickey Mouse!

What kind of new student are you in my school?

What's an old man like you doing in school?

Huh? Coming to bring us presents.

Huh? Coming to bring us presents?

And what is going on here?

Just welcoming a new student.

‪

Mr. Kabelu.

Find out how old that boy is.

I have spoken to the boy Sir.

- He's 23 years of age. - He'll give us trouble.

I don't want him in my school.

He must go to a youth college.

I think we should give him a chance.

I'll keep an eye on him.

So you're now a member of Ragib's BMW club huh?

Out of poverty at last.

Well.

For,

a personal invitation from Ragib himself.

Impressive.

So when am I gonna get a ride?

Well,

when you give me a ride... uh?

Only in a Pajero.

Look.

There comes Edwin the menace.

Ugh, boy.

And he's wearing his working face.

It's school hasn't begun,

and he and Mthembu, they already, ordering people around.

One of the two of you come and help us with the timetable.

‪I don't know about a timetable?

You can learn.

Let's go.

Hi, gents, let's go.

‪

Look at that girl.

She's one of the new students.

Sure, man.

She's nice.

Look how fit she is.

I swear to you guys, a man can get heart attack.

She's too much.

Not only is she two much,

but she's three much.

Let's say we moved geography to,

the double period on Tuesday.

But then what about English?

English.

- Uhm... - Wait again.

I think I need a tea break.

Take it easy on the biscuits, big girl!

Zoe darling. Tell me,

- Tell me. - Excuse me?

Are you married?

- No. - Don't you have a boyfriend or something?

Actually I was seeing someone but,

he went to study overseas.

I pity you.

But you know what?

Edwin needs a mother for his children,

and you'd be perfect.

Have you opened a cupid club now?

Ladies and gentlemen.

Can I have your attention please?

The year is only beginning,

and already the school looks like a ghetto.

I trust that you have not forgotten the three

‪golden rules of Supetsele.

- Smart dress, cleanliness, discipline... - Smart dress,

cleanliness,

and discipline.

Go out there and drum it into the new students.

They must learn to obey without thinking.

Habit must win over their minds.

I want this school scrubbed from top to bottom.

And as for those old students,

I want you to remind them that,

they are back at Supetsele.

I thought corporal punishment was no longer allowed.

Miss Cele, may I see you in my office?

Oh, Chester,

you're killing me softly.

What is he doing here?

Oh, friend.

Do you think he's coming here?

He's a rotten apple.

- If he's rotten, I want a bite. - As for me, never!

He's sexy. You wouldn't know.

You've never been with a boy!

What's wrong with that?

Ah, Papa Action.

Dont worry my father.

How're you, my brother? My father.

Where have you been son?

It's time to claim your crown.

They should dance to your tune.

The school is dead! The school is dead man!

Where is this one? Come here.

Come here... kiss me... Voetsek...

Chester Serole.

What are you doing in my school?

That's difficult to answer.

Mr. Kabelu, see him off my school.

What's this?

Lethal Weapon plus one and two.

Hi.

Phew, how're you, bro?

- Next time, yeah. - Okay.

Hi girl.

Hi Joe man!

I'm selling sweets.

Okay, I know what you need.

Bro, look at what I've got.

Look at this.

If you were to take this, bro,

if you smear this on your body,

it will improve your sex life.

Come on man.

Don't you want it?

- No thanks. - Look it's the last one!

No thanks.

Guys, we must clean these toilets.

We use them.

You're right. Look how dirty the place is.

They should get a maid to clean.

This is waste of time.

At multiracial schools maids clean the toilets.

On which side are you?

Come on. Lets clean.

It's good practice for marriage.

- I don't clean to get married. - You'll never marry.

Sorry.

Why are you just standing there?

Or maybe you don't use this toilet?

At your previous school, didn't you clean toilets?

Clean up as well.

Ignore her.

You said the textbooks will be delivered this morning.

When will they be delivered?

They are on their way now?

Hm, okay. I hope I don't have to phone you again.

‪

You wanted to see me Mr. Mthembu?

Miss Cele.

I've met many young teachers like yourself

coming straight from university,

with new ideas they want to change everything.

No Sir, not really.

- No. - Don't worry.

I know how it is when you're still at university,

but you're going to have to learn that

the real world is different.

I told you that a more formal hairstyle,

is called for at Supetsele.

Sir,

I'd appreciate it if i could see a copy

of Supetsele's code of conduct.

Remember Miss Cele,

you're a temporary teacher here.

Don't step on too many toes,

especially mine.

Are you okay?

Should I get help?

- The guy was shaking. - Sure.

I was scared.

- Oh bro. - Maybe he is mad.

Did you see how quiet he was in the classroom?

Why is he so quiet?

Oh, maybe you found him.

Maybe you caught him pulling wire.

Hi, bro.

Hi, bro.

Shjo!

If I had a girl like that...

I wouldn't let her out.

I wouldn't allow her to walk on the street.

I'd keep her as my sex slave.

Do you always have to talk like that?

I know where this is going.

Where did it start?

Thiza is in love with that girl.

Gosh. Are you okay, man?

Where were you yesterday?

My mom sent me to the shops.

I'll send you to Vosloorus.

Shouldn't she ask me?

I'll beat you.

Give me a kiss.

Thank you.

- Hello children. - There he is.

How do I get a Supetsele High?

Move!

Get out fatty!

Down on your knees!

- Hey! - Yes!

Let's go, let's go! Move!

Here... Take this.

R10 for your taxi.
