In the Ngonyama Kingdom
Narrated
Prince Lethokuhle: Niyaphoxa nje akukho okunye enikwenzayo (You always disappoint, there is nothing else that you do)
Silence, they knew better than to question Lethokuhle. He is the oldest for a reason, and when their father isn't around, he is the deputy parent, so whatever he says goes.
Prince Lethokuhle: Nqobani uqale nini ukukhuluma nomfowenu kanjeya? (Nqobani, when did you start speaking to your brother like that?)
Silence
Prince Lethokuhle: Ngiphendule mangikhuluma nawe (Answer me when I speak to you)
Prince Nqobani: ayidle iyshiyele Ndabezitha kusuke kwaba ulaka olukhulumayo bengingaqondile (Forgive me Ndabezitha, it was the anger speaking I didn't mean to)
Prince Lethokuhle: Ngibuze ukuthi iyona ndlela esewukhuluma ngayo nabafowenu abadala leyo (I asked if that's the way you speak to your older brothers now)
Prince Nqobani: Chabo Mageba (No Mageba)
Prince Lethokuhle: Pho masimba mani lawa owenze ogumbini likaBaba? (Then what shit did you do in our fathers room)
Prince Nqobani: Ayidle iyshiyele Mageba (Forgive me Mageba)
Prince Lethokuhle: Akusiyimi omonile wone umfowenu wahlulwa ukuhlonipha uBaba kanye nami (You did not do me wrong, you did your brother wrong, you failed to respect father and I)
Nqobani turned to Khethokuhle and Khethukthula.
Prince Nqobani: Ayidle iyshiyele bafo asophinde kwenzeke (Forgive me, brother, it won't happen again)
Prince Lethokuhle: Nithini ke nina (what do you say?)
Prince Khethokuhle: ngizizwa ngidelelekile umfowethu omncane usekwazi ukufeselana nami? (I feel disrespected. My younger brother now stands up against me)
Prince Nqobani: Ngiyaxolisa bafo (I'm sorry, brother)
Prince Lethokuhle: uthini wena uyaxola? (What do you say? Do you forgive him?)
Prince Khethokuhle looked at Nqobani, who looked down, and then he nodded.
Prince Khethokuhle: Ndaba
Prince Lethokuhle: Nqobizitha usukwazi ukumelana kwabafowenu? (Nqobizitha, you now stand up against your brothers?)
Silence.
Prince Lethokuhle: ngithe ngiphenduleke mangikhuluma! (I said answe me when I'm speaking)
Prince Nqobizitha: kube iphutha Phunga (it was a mistake Phunga)
That seemed to anger Lethokuhle even more.
Prince Lethokuhle: Iphutha? Iphutha ukunyathela ununtu unganakile, iphutha ukushayisana nomuntu endleleni unganakile lokhu okwenzile akusilo iphutha ngizokubuza okokugcina ke. Usukwazi ukumelana nabafowenu abadala manje? (A Mistake? A mistake is tramping someone while you're not watching, a mistake is bumping into someone on your way while you're not watching what you did was not a mistake so I will ask you one last time. You now stand up against your older brothers?)
Prince Nqobizitha: ngivumele ulaka lami lungenelele ngiyaxolisa (I let my anger interfere, I am sorry)
Prince Lethokuhle: ukuxolisa kwakho kuyakushintsha ukuthi usufeselana nabafowenu abadala wena? (Does your sorry change the fact that you were able to stand up to your older brother?)
Prince Nqobizitha: Chabo Mageba (No Mageba)
Prince Lethokuhle: khuluma nobawonile (talk to those you did wrong)
