You want me to admit you to the school?

Bra Gib wants you to admit me.

Drink this.

You'll remember to lock up the school. I'm going home.

The kids have not finished with their thing.

I will tell one of them to lock up.

- ‪ - Yes, smart pants!

- Sonnyboy, what are you doing? - Why should I wear a raincoat?

Sonnyboy, wait.

- Sonnyboy! - Look!

- Piss off! - No! Sonnyboy, what are you doing?

‪

‪

Don't worry about the fence.

We'll replace it.

Gunman my friend.

I like your hair style.

Boy, you touch my head again

I'll mess you up.

People really work fast.

Two weeks holiday and the school is a mess.

- ‪ - Down.

How come this never happened with Mthembu?

Not even during holidays.

We must hunt down these people.

What's wrong with you?

People who don't have, make means.

We can do the same too?

You open that suitcase mouth once more,

- I'll punch you, okay? - Sure.

Give me a puff.

Hazel!

Have you seen my cigarettes?

Hazel? Hey, you.

Are you still asleep?

Holidays are over.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Isn't your sugar daddy picking you up?

Hazel.

Hey.

Wake up.

Hazel.

Hazel.

What's wrong?

Tell me what's wrong.

Hm.

They even made a fire in my class.

There are two broken windows.

Two burnt desks.

A broken door.

Uhm, what else?

The lights.

Friend, Bushy was in the mood these holiday.

He treated me nicely.

How much was the holiday inn?

R350, he paid with his credit card.

It was bump and grind the whole night.

What else did you do?

We got down back to front.

What about AIDs?

I'm not stupid, I tell them to wear condoms.

They do what I say.

You know what Nomsa?

You must also get down with Javas.

I know you love him.

I will wait for Mr. Right.

I'll not do what you say.

What if you die before you get Mr. Right?

Say that again, friend.

Our classroom is a mess.

Writing all over.

Look at the ceiling.

And all you can talk about is sex.

My period is late.

What am I going to do if I'm pregnant?

Hazel,

look...

You can have an abortion.

I had no choice.

You don't have to have a baby with that asshole.

But then Snowy, I led him on.

But no, I told him I didn't want to.

I told him I didn't want to, but he forced me.

I told him I didn't want to.

- I blame myself for what happened-- - Hey! Hey! Hey!

Listen, it's not your fault.

‪

- Move it! Move it! - Move it that way!

This is South Africa.

All you fools.

Fools are going to give respect!

Fools are going to give respect!

We must get you a Ford Lazer.

Hey you two. What do you want?

We want to use the toilet.

I said what do you want?

To use the toilet.

You know what. You want to use the toilet?

Hey!

Are you having periods?

Ah! Are the robots red?

You know what boy?

Tell all the fools that this is my office.

It's now Papa Action's office.

You must tell them.

They'll give us some respect.

I'll take care of things.

This is not that bad.

Not that bad?

70 meters of fencing has gone missing.

Seven doors have to be replaced.

I've counted 35 broken windows--

Hm-m-m. Good work my man.

Mr. Mukwena.

You did not bother yourself once during holidays

to come and check up on the school.

What was I suppposed to do?

Hm? Moloi is gone.

There is still no replacement.

Did you think I was going to sit here with a stick the whole holidays?

- Bobo look at Thiza. - Yeah.

He is now tight with Chester.

Look at how he's chilling.

I wish I could join them.

And chill in that three series.

- Yoh. Let's check them out. - Alright.

Gents, see you later.

- Action, I've got enough respect for you. - My man.

Likewise.

Thiza.

What's up friend?

Who are they? Do you know them?

Ah!

My dinosaur.

Don't look at me.

- Ahh... - Drink.

I said don't look at me you rubber-neck!

- ‪ - Piss off.

You're happy. You're treating your hangover.

Okay uglies.

Now I want this car washed thoroughly!

Okay come.

I was ashamed to reveal the child's father.

Who's Themba's father Snowy?

Hm... he was nice to me.

He made me laugh.

There was this essay on Khoisan's.

He used to help me with it.

He said I was his best student.

So Mr. Mukwena is Themba's father?

Can't you see?

He has never given me a cent.

You let him get away with it?

What could I have done?

What could I have done?

Ken was my teacher, I was just a student.

It would have been his word against mine.

I won't allow that to happen to you.

These men must pay!

We must organize other students

and clean the school, it's dirty.

I agree with Nomsa.

We can't wait for teachers.

If we don't do it ourselves no one will.

Another thing,

we must confront Chester and his gang,

because they're preventing students from using toilets.

People, I don't understand,

what's Thiza doing with Chester?

And where is he now?

He said he's not coming.

What's Thiza's problem?

He wants to be famous.

That's a problem.

But how do we go about, confronting Chester?

If one of us is with him?

We must confront them.

Who is going to confront them?

You're a coward.

We as comrades.

We have a complaint against you.

Ah... I'm sorry comrade.

- You're making me dizzy. - Chester.

Stop preventing students from using the toilets.

Oh! Are you talking to me?

- I mean what I said. - Oh! Me!

It'll never happen again.

I promise.

Come let's go Javas.

Romeo and Juliet. Romeo!

No one is serious. The bash was fun.

Javas, how are you?

Why didn't you visit during the holidays?

Stop being nasty, give me a hug.

I didn't have time.

Please do me a favor.

- Uh! Anything for you sweetie. - Okay, listen here.

Can you help us clean up?

- Aaah... - We're still tired after the holidays.

Women must be thanked.

What would you give me?

- Anything... - Oh!

- ‪ - As your wish is my command.

- Oooh! - Let's do this together.

Guys let's move!

Why are you looking so serious?

No man,

it's because of me, that Mthembu is gone.

I feel responsible for this chaos.

Don't worry, it's not your fault.

Hello Ken.

Remember me?

Say hello to your child.

Uh, Snowy...

You've let yourself go.

It's time you started paying for your child, Ken.

I know your type, Snowy...

You're a township girl... you know?

If that was my child, you would have come to me a long time ago.

Now that some, taxi driver has dumped you.

You come to me because we spent one night together?

- Eh? - You know what Ken?

I won't let you get away with this.

People are going to know about this.

We'll report you

- to the governing body. - Hm.

Do you think they will believe you?

Just get out of my office.

Look at him.

Look at his face.

It's not hard to see that he's yours.

Get out of here.

- Let's go and report him. - Get out!

You know what Javas?

I try hard to make good.

People say I think I'm better.

I feel so bad about that.

And it's...

It's too much for me.

You know...

There's this movie I saw about this guy.

In it he says,

- when he's feeling bad, - Hm.

he runs until he sweats.

So there's no water left in his body for tears.

That's what I do too,

when I'm feeling bad.

I wake up in the morning and run until I sweat.

Don't you want us to run together?

And take it all out?

You!

Feeling bad?

Javas is feeling bad...

I'll pick you up tomorrow morning at six.

We'll run together.

No! I'm still sleeping at that time.

I'm snoring.

You rather run alone.

9625 a special train

for guys only.

You think I'm high, but you're the one that's high, smart pants.

Let it burn.

Pull man, pull.

What are you doing?

The kids have blocked the toilets

with the cartons they drink all day.

Now it's our classroom... uh-uh.

I'm not going to teach. Not in that mess!

My suggestion is,

we must set this week aside, for cleaning up all the classrooms.

You know what I think? Sitting around like this,

is not gonna do anyone any good.

Even if it means finding a tree, I'm gonna go and teach.

See ya.

Ey! Was your cousin normal as a child?

Oh hey. Uh-uh.

"They came for my house in Sophiatown,

on Thursday, 10th of November, 1958,

half past five in the morning.

Before we knew it,

two lorries had pulled up outside the house.

The five men said to my mother,

"Mama, whether you like it or not, you're going!

You better see to it that you take your things.

There's no need to resist.""

It's not right Ma'am.

No one should force people

- to do things they don't want to do. - Mm.

Cindy, that's right,

cause if you put yourself in Jane's shoes,

we weren't there when this happened.

But you can imagine what she was going through,

she had to leave society.

Hey, big head?

Move aside.

- Don't call me big head. - Get lost.

Sorry. Sorry, Madam.

Baby!

Okay, imagine you were a news paper reporter at the time.

You've been asked to report on what happened on the 10th

of November 1958 in Sophiatown.

Hazel?

Why were you not at the SRC meeting I called?

And you didn't do the cleaning.

Why bother to be on the SRC

if you're not going to attend meetings?

What's wrong with you?

What happened Hazel?

Are you crying?

Why are you crying?

What would you write about?

What would you say in that article?

Leave me alone.

- You leave me alone. - Come on! Come on!

What do you think you are doing?

Listen! What do you think you are doing?

Relax Ma'am! Relax!

- Nothing is wrong. - Listen, we are trying to learn here.

If you don't want to be part of this class, just leave.

- Please. - I don't want to.

What if I don't want to? What will you do?

What will you do to me?

What are you doing?

You dagga tree!

I'm getting rusty. I'm being beaten by lousy things like you.

Leave me.

Unbelievable!

Don't stop, Ma'am, carry on.

Listen Hazel.

Let's go to the clinic, to my mother.

She can perform a pregnancy test for you.

You know how the nurses are at the clinic.

They'll say I went looking for it.

That's how I always insulted Snowy about it.

I discovered Ken is the father to Snowy's child.

Mukwena?

We went to talk to him.

He denied everything.

Look...

Let's go to my mum, she'll help you.

Do you understand?

Tupac! Tupac Shakur!

Hey, you! Tupac, my foot, okay?

You idiot. Tupac my foot!

Hey you!

Here's the fool who wanted to kill me guys.

Hey you, come here!

You're a jackal, you think you're wise.

Yoh! You hobo!

You bitch!

What have you done to our boy? Eh!

Hey you, boy! Hey, smart pants!

I'm talking to you!

I'm talking to you! Are you deaf?

Take him guys.

Let's teach him a lesson.

Filters take away...

Uh, colors.

Excuse me Sir?

Boys are fighting in the toilet.

‪

Somebody stab this dog!

Stop it!

You get out of here Thume.

Damn it! You think you're wise.

Sir?

Now you are taking our food away?

Please Sir, that's our food.

Oh.

Are you also taking drugs?

Mr. Mukwena.

One of our students, nearly got killed in the toilet.

- What? - You know they're selling drugs there.

I suggest you should call the police.

Mm.

I'll go and talk with him.

Chester? Chester?

You guys must take it easy now.

People are complaining already.

Who is complaining?

Some teachers here.

Oh... you know?

Some boys got excited.

It'll never happen again.

Relax, no more troubles.

‪

He's talking rubbish.

It doesn't matter,

whether you agreed to go out with Sonnyboy or not.

You refused, but he forced you.

You must lay a charge against him.

And where is Ken?

Well Kenny has got other things to do.

There's a crisis in the school

and he doesn't bother to come.

I propose that we set up a...

a list of all the demand we have and if Ken does not act,

then we approach the department.

First of all we need to deal with the drug selling.

Now that my job is done here,

I'm going to think about my demands at the gym.

Well, can we continue?

I'm telling you.

You'll enjoy life.

You have me, you have Satan's dog.

I'm telling you.

If you get a GTI.

GTI you sell for...

Yo! Microbus did you see?

That one, two and a half grand cash.

- Same day? - I'm telling you.

- Don't even mention a Dolphin. Yo! - Mm.

The fish with no bones.

Brother to BMW convertible.

That is five grand.

- What's the most money you've ever had? - Me? Aaah!

R200.

Shame, 200?

Girls will beat you.

Yooooh!

That won't even pay for their hairstyle.

That's why Hazel didn't hook you up.

You don't live large. You must have lots of money.

Hm-mm.

- Me, I live large. - Mm.

Yoh!

That's what I'm talking about.

Things just happen for me.

I don't have to do anything.

You're bad man.

I'm a dog.

Seriously, I'm a dog.

Sissy, good news.

You are not pregnant.

But, it's still your choice.

Whether you lay a charge against him,

or you don't.

Hello Mr. Nyembe, I see you are busy.

Yes girl. What can I do for you?

We've got problems at school.

Mm. You know?

The school is trouble.

Since you chased away Mthembu.

I don't understand it anymore.

Mm. I agree with you.

We really need to work with parents to sort things out.

- Mm. - That is why I came to talk to you.

To help us fix broken doors and windows.

You want me to fix the school?

- Yes Sir. - Ey...

Hold here! Don't be a coward.

Take it. It'll give you power.

Are you scared?

I told you, you're a coward.

Watch me, I'll make you a movie.

Take this car back to the township.

You get out, out! Out! Out! Out!
