Move I say! Move!

‪-Move! ‪-

Yes, there'll be an inquiry Miss Shai.

I will not submit myself to such indignity Mr. Mahlatsi.

"Thizo. You will always be a part of me and I am a part of you indefinitely."

"Baby you can escape me. 'Cause you'll always be my baby."

"Hazel"

- What? Is it mine? - Yes, it's something I wrote.

What is it? A cheque?

Thank you, Thiza.

Goodbye, Moloi.

We worked well together.

Goodbye, Principal.

‪

Timmy wake up, it's time for school.

Hurry, hurry.

‪- ‪-

Snowy.

What's with you?

What are you looking at?!

- Here are the beers. - Thank you, my boy.

- Here's your change. - Keep the change.

- Thank you. - Okay. Bye-bye.

Sending other people's kids for beer.

Their parents wont like it.

Don't worry, he's Mami's child.

She doesn't feed him.

At least I give him money.

This baby is sick.

He's a little hot that's all.

He has fever you and didn't take him to the clinic.

- ‪ - And you didn't.

Who are you to tell me about my child?

He's mine not yours.

Not even Mother can tell me what to do.

Don't you talk about Mother like that.

She didn't send you to get a fatherless child.

‪

‪

- Uh! Where have you been?

Where have you been? You slept out?

Why didn't you go on a train?

Your grandmother is waiting for you. You tell me why.

- Father, I'm not going to the country. - So you don't fear me anymore?

You talking back to me? I'm tired of you.

- You have caused trouble at school. - Ah!

I'm not going, I want to attend school here.

I'll get you!

What are you waiting for Miss South Africa?

Your sugar daddy is waiting outside.

He's not my sugar daddy.

That thing is a sugar daddy.

Just look.

You've just vomited yesterdays beer and you are already on the next one.

Hi.

Why is the taxi empty are you not ranking today?

You know what?

I wanted to be alone with you.

I thought we could hang out together.

Why?

I've behaved badly, I haven't taken you to my place.

I have to go to school today.

- You wont regret it. - It is important to be in school today.

A new principal has been appointed. The SRC has to meet him.

Okay, I will take you.

I wanted to spend some time with you.

To show how much I love you.

I understand, but the time is not right.

Are you serious, can it be done?

I'm telling you, it's all in here.

They take stuff from your genes.

And create a person exactly like you.

You could make lots of Hazel

and lock them up in your shack.

I'll help you with some of them...

That's not me, but go ahead and masturbate.

Here comes this fool Hazel.

It's almost a week,

and I don't see any action between you two.

You're scoring in slow motion.

So you don't believe me she gave me a letter?

Show us then.

Prove to us she's yours.

Go and hold her and kiss her.

- I'll show you. - You'll be sorry I'm telling you.

You underestimate me.

I'll prove to you my boys.

Hold here.

I'll prove to you I'm number one.

- Thiza. - Hello.

You didn't say anything about the poem I wrote you.

Mmm... It was good I liked it.

So, what I'm trying to say is...

I feel the same as you do. I love you too.

Thiza, what are you talking about?

You know I'm with Sonnyboy.

Why Sonnyboy now?

First thing, he cares for me.

He's good looking

and he gives me money.

Now tell me,

what did you mean by your note then?

Thiza which note?

♪ You'll always be a part of me ♪

- ‪♪ ‪ - I'm part of you indefinitely‪ ♪

- ‪♪ ‪ - Boy don't you know you can't escape me‪ ♪

- ‪♪ ‪ - Oh baby' 'cause ‪you'll always be my baby ‪♪

‪-You and I... ‪-

You know you two? I thought you were my friends.

You're useless.

I don't want to hang out with you anymore!

You're stupid.

- How do you feel? - He messed me up.

He thinks he's smart.

But this is not fair people.

After eight years as a principal,

the next thing you are forced to resign,

because you simply caned a student.

Zaza.

Mr. Mthembu did not just cain a student.

It was barbaric.

All he has to do is to apologize and bury the hatchet,

and the whole thing would be forgotten.

It's too late now Malik,

the department has already accepted his resignation.

Oh! So it's an opportunity for young blood.

It's either Ken Mukwena,

or Edwin Mutapeli.

Of course Ken is going to be the new acting principal.

I bet that on my new Versace suit.

And we all know how important that is to you friend.

I cannot believe I'm hearing this, I'm actually shocked.

You do not expect Ken to become acting principal of the school?

Mm! He is popular Cuzzie.

I agree with Miss Cele.

That if Ken becomes the active principal of the school,

it will be trouble.

Indeed.

- Let me tell you about Javas. - Yeah.

You know what? I want to hear it from Nomsa.

I like Nomsa. She stands up for herself.

- I'll see you after break. - Don't tell her I said I like her.

Your paragraphs, you need to compare and explain

the language used in atleast

three different adverts.

Okay?

"THE FEELING OF FREEDOM"

Why? Freedom?

I think it says,

if you smoke,

you'll be relaxed and free.

But it contradicts itself, here it says "DANGER

SMOKING CAUSES CANCER".

That's stupid.

- What is this advert Bobo? - Nothing Ma'am.

He was looking at naked girls, as usual Ma'am.

What is this advert?

Javas?

You're quiet.

The guilty are always quiet.

Bobo what's this?

It's an advertisement...

of a girl brushing her legs.

At the top it says , "Be young and beautiful forever".

What do you think this advert is selling to us class?

‪-Girls, Ma'am. ‪-

Razors Ma'am.

This advert uses the language of poetry to persuade us.

So,

does it mean you'll be young and beautiful forever

if you use these razors?

Essay results.

Good news class.

Everybody passed their essays.

The results are as follows,

Ntalenzi Cynthia,

50.

Ndombi Jephtha,

50.

Hazel

Rachithange,

62.

Mm! Monyane Thabu,

57.

- Patrick Mudise-- - 57?

59.

Philip Peu,

48.

Ezekiel Ntobela...

And so remember to choose an ad, one you like,

and an ad that you don't like.

Hi Cuzzie, I was on my way to the staffroom and I heard this noise.

I thought you are having a free period.

No, we are having a language lesson.

Your students are reading trendy magazines in a language lesson?

They are analyzing ads.

You're lucky Mthembu's no longer here.

Okay, uhm... Question three.

What technique does the ad use to sell the products?

Okay, this advertisement,

tells us if you don't have a smart car,

you are useless. It's true, without a car,

you wont have a beautiful girlfriend.

It's not true.

Look, I'm a girl. I am not after wealth.

I want respect.

Shame, respect is for Mother Theresa.

Remember the rules of working in groups.

No interruptions, listen to each other, and speak one at time.

Yes Ma'am.

Uh! Thandi magazine. She must be mad!

I thought it was interesting.

Zaza, how long have we been teachers?

Suddenly being told how teach

‪by someone who has never taught before.

And those brats of hers are so noisy.

I get a headache each time I pass by her classroom.

Anyway, what do those exercises she does

have to do with the children passing exams?

Write a test, is still the best method for me.

Mm.

One way to tell if the new substance has been formed,

is by looking to see if there is a precipitated bottom of the test tube.

Thulas.

Don't let the past haunt you.

You'll be mad.

Cope.

Thulas.

What is wrong?

- Has he been ill? - No Sir.

Thulas...

He was in the war zone, that's why his mind is unstable.

You need some help, Thulani.

I'm fine Sir.

Really?

I...

I've heard from a few students that...

you commanded an S.D.U.

Is that true?

Then you must have had some bad memories.

It helps to talk Ntulane.

If it's okay with you I...

can arrange to have someone to talk to.

Okay guys, so now we've seen the importance of language in

conveying messages and advertising.

That each and every word is important.

For an example...

Hello, Sir.

Hello, young lady.

I'm Jabulani Nyembe's father.

Jabulani?

You mean Javas?

I've come to take him out of school now.

- Why? What happened? - He disobeyed me by coming to school today

I don't know if you're aware,

of the trouble he's caused back home.

He has to go.

He has already missed a week's studies.

I know that, but now I'm sending him to the country,

where he'll learn discipline.

What about his education?

Don't worry about his education.

I can do whatever I want, he's my son not yours.

He's my child, not ours.

Javas... Javas.

Your father likes to be Isaac Hayes.

Jabulani, come lets go.

Come on!

Javas. Don't worry come to my place,

if you want a place to sleep.

Don't worry things will work out fine.

And because of this,

‪the department ‪and the governing body of the school,

have looked carefully at your case.

You both bring qualifications and experience.

This has been a very difficult decision to make.

The acting principal,

will be responsible for running the school.

Until the board appoints a new principal.

After consulting the teachers and the board,

I am pleased to announce,

that the new acting principal,

will be. Mr. Mukwena.

Please convey the message to your parents

and give Mr. Mukwena all the support he needs,

to make his new appointment a success.

Wait here, I see fortune.

Alright.

‪

What are you doing with that thing?

I'll sell it to the Zionist church.

They'll use it for their singing.

You know what? Also ask them to give you healing water.

You are sick.

- I'm not sick. - You are!

Leave me alone.

‪- ‪-

I've never seen Edwin smile like that before.

- ‪ - Argh shame, man.

- He loves his daughters very much. - I didn't know he's married.

No, he's a single father.

He was married to a young wife who left him a few years ago.

It was tough for him.

‪

I suppose it might be hard to live with him.

‪

‪Thiza, come here.

- ‪ - Come here, man.

- ‪ - Yes, my boy.

‪-Hi. ‪-Hi.

How are you?

- Ken is now your principal? - I care less about that one.

- ‪ - The thing is, ‪you think you're smart nowadays.

- ‪ - You've come out of your shell. - ‪ - I know this stinking attitude of yours.

‪You won't get that girl.

- That's why. - Would you?

Isn't that? We'll see.

Chaise Longues gets.

There were dead.

- Get them, tiger. - They're gone.

- ‪ - It's all gone, we'll get rid of it.

- We'll get rid of your nervousness. - Where are we going, actually?

To the salon to fix your hair

and be beautiful. After that,

I'm going to buy you clothes.

But Sonnyboy, there's no need for that.

- ‪ - Come on, but you know - ‪ - I want to treat you good.

This place isn't good for him.

Hence he must go and stay with his grandmother.

How about we let him complete this year?

He's very good in science and not bad in other subjects either.

So if he goes

to a new school,

I'm not too sure about that.

Because we're already in the middle of the year's syllabus.

Sir, I did say I wanted this boy to go and learn respect

- and how to behave himself. - I hope he's already learnt that.

I also promise that,

I'll watch over him.

That's fine if you put it like that.

But do know that I'm now making him your responsibility,

and teach him about respect and how to behave.

‪-Thank you, Mr. Nyembe. ‪-Thank you, son.

- Goodbye, Sir. - Go well, good Sir.

‪Please, attention folks.

I'm about to propose a toast here.

For Mr. Mukwena, the only Kenny.

‪

‪Our friend has been promoted.

Literature without a principle at Supetsele high school.

- Thank you, Bra Gib. - Cheers to your new position.

You have always.

Of course, don't forget, I still have to apply for my principalship.

‪

- Bra Gib... - Yeah.

- Here's this escapee. - How far did he think he'd run?

- ‪ - Bra Gib...

‪-Big bro. ‪-Tell me, what about my stuff?

I'll give it to you, just give me a chance, please.

- Where's Chester? - So...

‪-Take Dlamini on a trip. ‪-Bra Gib...

Thank you, Bra Gib. Let's go.

Sorry folks... lets drink. Bottoms up.

- ‪ - Kenny.

‪

‪

You look a bit worried to me, Kenny boy.

Look here, don't worry. Say you must never be worried.

Look I think there's other things to worry about. You understand?

Sure, Bra Gib.

By the way, congratulations.

I suppose one could say, you've got the world at your feet.

- ‪ - Yeah. Yeah.

Drink, switch off, don't worry.
