All born again thing is comfusing, I dont even know
Where I stand.
SHE TURNS TO FACE HIM
Ever
Oh now I see what this is all about. I thought you
Understood Moses, sex is not what is going to make
Our relationship stronger, its about love, respect
And commitment to each other. Sex is such a sacred
Thing that is why it is reserved for the marriage bed
And I cant just give it away, not any more
Moses
See where the problem is. Its always about you and what you
Want, does it ever occur to you that ive got needs of my own.

TEACHER MONICA IS TALKING TO STUDENTS ABOUT THE CONCERT THEY ARE
PLANNING ON HAVING,ON THE BOARD THEY HAVE NAMES AND SOME OF THE
ACTIVITIES WHICH WILL BE TAKING PLACE,
Monica
Ok I think we have every thing covered everything on the
Agenda, what else is needed.
Amos
We just have to look into hiring a proper pa system coz
The one we have is not dependable.
Monica
Any ideas of how much that will cost, just bare in mind that
The school will have to approve, before they give out any
Money.
Amos
Ill look around and see how much it will cost us.
Monica
Great, anything else just remember that the purpose of
This function is to encourage positive living and behavior
Change amongst the pupils, it has to be entertaining as
Well as educative, in short who ever is participating
Should have a positive message and I think this will be
The best opportunity to get more students in the(psu)
Julius
So any one can register?
Amos
As long as they have a positive message and they pay the
Participating fee.
Ever
So is it only restricted to music, or they can be other
Things?

Are you even listening to your self, if Moses loved you or
Even cared about you like you say he would have respected
Your decision. His behavior only goes to prove he never
Cared about you and sleeping with him would have only madeIt worse, you did the right thing.
Ever
I pushed him away. If only I wasnt too rigid and old
Fashioned we still be together,
Gwen
Seriously
So what? You think sleeping with him could have stopped him
Chasing other skirts. You showed guts and character that isWhat a real woman should do.
Ever
And what did that do apart from leaving me heart broken
Heart. And its not like I was giving away my birth right
Its just sex.

Young people are misbehaving, that we promote drugs and
Prostitution, they know that we sell drugs and alcohol to
Minors. In short they dont want us around coz we are the agents

But this club has been here for a long time. I mean you have
The right just those same churches.
Jaylo
Sighs deeply
Am afraid its more complicated than that. Remember last year
My license was temporarily taken. Because the D.E.C people
Found 3 kilos of dagga with my door bouncer, last month I
Barely escaped with a fine, my bar man was caught selling
Beer to under age, kids. All that is well documented. Its
All piling up, just last weekend girl collapsed, she nearly
Died. Drug over dose.
AS SHE GETS A LITTLE CLOSER TO BOSCO WHO IS JUST ATTENTIVE,SHE
TAKES A COUPLE OF SIPS FROM HER BRANDY AND LIGHTS ANOTHER CIGARATE
Jaylo

Have you ever had a tumor that just grows and grows?
Bosco
No.
Jaylo
Take it from me its very annoying.coz no matter what you do
Or where you are it will still be there tormenting you and
If you dont remove it fast it will keep eating you.
BOSCO LISTERNS ON AS JAYLO CONTINUES.
Jaylo. Cont, d
With such things the operation should be done by an expert
Who is not scared to cut, some one precise. Coz any slight
Mistake in the cut. Will make it grow bigger and worse. The
Other complication is that you cant do it yourself.

BWALYA AND MOSES GIVES EACH OTHER THAT ANGRY LOOK AS WE FADE
AWYAY.
FADE TO
EXT___DAMBO HIGH__STUFF ROOM__DAY.
THE TEACHERS SEEM TO BE HAVING SOME SORT OF DEBATE,CONCERNING
SOME OF THEIR BAD STUDENTS.MONICA IS FOR THE IDEA THAT THE PUPILS
NEED TO BE GIVEN A CHANCE,BUT THE OTHER TEACHERS HAVE ALREADY
THROWN IN THE TOWEL.MONICA HAS JUST MADE HERSELF A CUP OF HERBAL
TEA,WHILE THE OTHERS ARE HAVING SOFTIES.
Monica
So like I was saying we just have to give these kids a
Chance;show them that we care that is what will help
Them change.
Mr. Mwenda
There is no way that any of these kids can change,regardless
Of how much love or care you give them.they will forever be
Violent, arrogant and disrespectful.
Monica
We need to get them involved in behavior change activities
There is always a way.
Mr Bwalya
I wonder why we keep having this.conversation. cos no one
In this room can say they have never had an encounter with
Any of those pupils in question.all we have to do is get
Them expelled and forget.
Monica
So thats your solution, expel them and forget.
Mr Bwalya
Do you have a better idea.
Monica
These kids are lost,all they are doing is trying to find
Themselves.pushing them out of this environment will only
Cause more harm than good.

Mr mwenda
This kids are out of order,I would rather they leave the
School than end up with a stub on my back or a screw driver
In my eye.bafana aba they are out control.
MonicaAll they need is hope!
Bwalya.cuts in
What they need is prison.
Monica
You made a promise to give your time to educate pupils
mr Bwalya
I know what I promised and this is not it. Why should I
Waste my time trying to change people who dont want toChange.they are kids in this school who needs help and
They are willing to co_operate. It is those good kids
Who need time and hope, not these embasiles.
Monica
So thats it, you just gonna quit on them like that
Mr. Bwalya
They quit on themselves, coz they dont care,
There parents dont care, society doesnt care, why
Should I. to be honest ive got better things to do
With my time.
Mr. Mwenda
I just cant seem to understand. What is it about any of
These unruly kids. Which makes you think they deserve to
Be cared for. Because honestly speaking. They have not
Done one good thing worth of letting them stay in school
Another day.
Mr. Bwalya
These idiots have caused more trouble in one term to last
For a life times also wonder, why you of all the members
Of stuff can still support them.
Monica
Maybe its because some of us have got hearts of flesh and
Not of stone, excuse me ive got pupils waiting.
