"Banna ba Mmathubudukwane ba tshaba masimo"

We had just 'scooped' one of the greatest tales of our time about the veteran's memories of the war and we leave the yard with a smile of contentment. Suddenly, three skinny boys on a donkey-cart appear from nowhere, forcing us off the road. The boys smile naughtily and whistle as they drive on. Less than a minute later our car gets stuck in the sandy road as Sename tries to negotiate the treacherous terrain.

Sename tries by all means to drive out of the sandy 'trap' but to no avail. We try to use stones and tree branches, but the car will not move. We look around hoping that some 'able-bodied men' will come to our rescue.
