It was then that she realized that she allowed her temper to get the best of her.
‘’HAKE UTLWI HANTLE PHETHA HAPE, ORE BADIMO BARENG?” with her eyes popping out of her skull she asked. This time around her grip on Dibusengs hand got tighter, it was so tight it was like Dibuseng was being held by those strong construction general workers. ‘’Itjhuu’’ Dibuseng said with fear written all over her eyes. She saw how angry the Queen was because of what Gogo said so she didn’t want to give the Queen more reason to get angry. Especially in the position she is in.
‘’Heeee thonga lam
Ndi laulele
Haoooo Thonga lami
Ndi laulele
Heeee……..”
‘’HEEEE MOLEKO TOWE WA MOSADIMOHOLO NKARABE KE BUA LE WENA O TLOHELE HO NHLODIELA’’ The Queen interrupted while Gogo was singing. ‘’Ngwana enwa nka o pepisa a hlaha empa badimo bare ho nna ho tlameile hwa etswa mokete nakong ya beke tse pedi moo ngwana enwa atlo bolawa. Badimo haba hlakisi hantle hore ngwana enwa otlo etsang empa ba bua ba tiisitse difahleho hore ngwana enwa ha a tlameha ho phela’’ Gogo said politely… ’’Le ha nka o hloya jwang kapa jwang nkeke ka o lakaletsa taba ya mofuta o tjena. Ketlo o thusa o pepe mme ngwana wa hao o motshware ka matsoho’’ she continued. Crying uncontrollably she said ‘’ HAESALE KENTSE KE O BONA HORE HA O MPATLE, HA HONA BADIMO BA BUILENG TABA TSEO KE MERERO YA HAO YOHLE MOLOI TOWE WA MOSADIMOHOLO”. Gogo just kept quiet with a tear rolling down one of her eyes.
‘’Bitsa Mathabo atle atlo re thusa’’ Gogo said to Dibuseng. There was a terrible silence in the room when Dibuseng went out. After a short while Gogo broke the silence “MaDitheko, ekaba wa tseba hore ke le rata jwang wena le lelapa la hao?. Na wa tseba hore ke le tshireleditse hlaselong tse kae?. Empa ho lokile, ketlo tlameha ho bua le Morena ka taba ena ke ena ya tla nkang qeto’’. Still drowning in tears ‘’Gogo ke ya o kopa se etse jwalo, wa tseba Morena o dumela haholo jwang ditaelong tsa badimo. Ke eme dikgwedi tse robong ke emetse ngwana enwa, ke sasanka hohle motseng batho bohle ba bona hore ke lebeletse ngwana. Ba tlo ntebella jwang ka mora hore ba tsebe ngwana waka o bolailwe?. Ketlo fola neng ke phela hara batho ba ntebellang ka kutlwelo bohloko?’’ the Queen asked.
The end

The girls who went ahead of the envoy to tell Ntswaki the bad news got to the river but there was no sign of her. They looked around, up and down the stream but Ntswaki was nowhere to be seen. When they were all ready to give up, one of the girls saw grass moving as though something is hiding there. They got curious and they decided to go and check. They were all scared but curiosity got the better of them. They got there and they couldn’t believe what they saw with their eyes. Ntswaki was not there, they only found a full bucket of water. The girls were Nthati, Lerato and Maipato. They were her childhood friends but their characters were very different from hers. I will tell you more about them at a later stage. “Jonna mme weee!!!”, Lerato whispered. They were now worried that something bad might have happened to her. “Eseng Ntswaki o ipolaile lona? Mohlomong hona le motho ya fihlileng a mo phethela taba tse?”, Nthati asked with her eyes wide open and sparkling as though she was abou...

It was a very glorious day for the Ditheko Kingdom. ”MONNA MAHLOMOLA BONA MONA, TSAMAYA O KENELLE MOTSENG MONA O JWETSE SETJHABA SOHLE HORE NGWANA WAKA O HLAHILE EBILE KE MOSHANYANA. O BA MEME BOHLE HORE BATLE BATLO KETEKA LENNA LE BA LELAPA LAKA. DIJO LE JWALA DI TENG, BA TSUBANG KGOMO YA FATSHE LE BONA OBA JWETSE HORE KE MANTLETSENTLETSE” The King sent his envoy. “Ho lokile Morena, ere ke kgobokanye mahlana aka mme ke etse jwalo” The messenger replied and did not waste any time, he went around to gather around his crew to carry out the task at hand. They took a drum with some sticks and composed a song on the spot. That was one of Mahlomola’s best qualities and that made the King very fond of him. He is very creative, you could give him a simple task but the outcome is going to be something beyond your imagination. “HO TLETSE MONYAKA HO TLETSE MONYAKA… KWANA BORENENG KWANA BORENENG… RE TSWALETSWE MORA RE TSWALETSWE MORA… BORENENG HA DITHEKO BORENENG HA DITH...

Back at the house preparations had already started. The King was so happy about the arrival of his second son into this world, he was boasting in pride amongst his council men. “Ke entse ngwana monna thaka ntatae, Kepi ntho etlo le tjhekelang baradi Mosenene sedula mokoting hae kgore Bosiu le motshehare o dula ale malala a laotswe Lepe se rathang pakeng tsa mangwele Tsena tsohle le di botse baradi lapeng Ha osena baradi o botse mosadi mma bana Mohlomong a ka o phethela palenyana” He said, followed by a brief chuckle. Pacing up and down praising his newly born son with excitement written all over his face in capital letters. Having a son meant a lot to him because it meant the ancestors where in his side. They had many sleepless nights desperately praying for a child. They struggled conceiving a child for so long that they no longer had the luxury of praying for a child of any specific gender. The fact that he got a boy made him very grateful that he felt he had t...
