Chapter 37: Vuishou

Bongi sets up a practice for 10 o’clock on Saturday morning. Bongi and Tiaan are the first to practice, then Liezl and finally, Zane. The atmosphere is tense, like at a boxing match. Tiaan notes that it feels like they’re waiting for the first punch to be thrown. They have two original songs but since they have about 15 minutes before the play on Monday, they have to perform two other songs. Tiaan suggests Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit, but Zane suggests Afrikaans songs. He sarcastically suggests Anneli van Rooyen’s Soos Ou Vriende Doen (Like Old Friends Do). Liezl immediately drops her microphone, grabs her bag and heads for the door. Practice ends immediately. Tiaan feels completely powerless in the situation.
