The Journey Of Samkelisiwe Nzama

All the houses absolutely, almost all the house we down. There was only one house left. My grandmother home was coming to an end. My grandmother lived with two of my cousins, two boys. One was twelve years and the other one was six years old. My mother's younger sister has left them with my grandmother to lie with a man, which she knows has two children with.

My two cousins were what my grandmother had, but the older one has tended to have become a problem. He was now involved into crime. At the age of twelve, it got me thinking that clearly, we all need mothers touch at any age we in.

I was once told the older one has stolen one for his class teachers' phone and has been suspended. My two cousins were not performing academically well and most of the time they failed at school. Well, that was because they lived with my gram other that could not read nor write. Their mother was with other men in the other side of the town. She could not care less what the children were up to.

Well, we came in this hut, after a long trip and it was not pleasing at all. They were like literally holes around the wall; we could feel the wind coming in. My heart just shut down. My grandmother told us again about the older cousin again that he has burned one of the houses in the yard and has no reason at all. It was clear that the demons have played around with his soul.

One of the most shocking things she mentioned was that, he poisoned my grandmothers drink, whole he left him in the house accompanying my aunt only visited her for two nights and left without....

My grandmother told us that when she came back, took their drink that was on the table, were she left it. She could see green small kind off things floating on top. She picked up the glass and looked at the bottom of it and it was green dense. She told us that she than realised that her drink actually poisoned. And the only person who was left in the house was my cousin.

He was then asked why he did all that, he mentioned that, they were a lady who lived down the mountain who said she must poison my grandmother, he told us that the lady even said she must burn my grandmother into the hut that was finished even. My heart felt like stopping, I could not breath for a moment.
