- Molly, I have to go.
- Where are you going?
Some place.
- When will you be coming back?
- I don't know.
Few weeks, maybe a month.
- Are you going out of the country?
- Molly, enough.
It's my work.
You know I can't talk about it.
You'll hear from me. I promise.
I love you very much.
Be cheerful, my honey.
Dad.
- Wish me luck.
- Yes, good luck.
Your sixth position, don't forget.
See you next week. Thank you, girls.
Molly, Yvonne, come.
There's my mom. Come on.
- Come on.
- I'm going to my mother's office.
- Get in, I'll drop you there.
-It's okay. It's only around the corner.
You can't walk on your own.
Come on, get in.
Stop it, Yvonne. You make him crazy.
Don't move him! Call an ambulance.
- Why don't we take him?
- No, I don't want to get involved.
- Hello, Molly.
- Hello.
- Hello, Mom.
- Hello, darling.
- Hello, Molly. How's school?
- Okay, thank you.
Fiona, ready.
"Thousands of Africans
are being kidnapped...
"shanghaied away from their towns
and their families...
"to do enforced labor on the farms."
Full stop.
"South Africa will not have farm workers
with a love and knowledge of the land...
"until they are ensured of a living wage...
"education, and above all...
"the freedom to enjoy the fullness of life."
Full stop.
New paragraph.
"The farm-labor scandal brings to the fore...
"the worst features of the apartheid
cheap-labor state...
"and gives them a new
and more hideous form."
That's it. Leave three columns
for the picture. Bye.
Mom, can we go now?
In a minute. I won't be long.
The South African government today...
announced the first arrests
under the 90-Day Detention Act.
The act confers power
on the security forces...
to detain people without trial
for up to 90 days for interrogation...
and follows in the wake
of the increased underground activity...
by the banned African National Congress.
Opponents of the government fear that
the new law will provide further freedom...
to the Security Police to imprison
and harass people who oppose apartheid.
Under an agreement
between Washington and Moscow...
That's it.
Molly, let's go.
Can you drop them off
at the house this afternoon?
Oh, Jesus Christ, Diana.
No, I promised the kids.
Marge has made arrangements.
You promised that report days ago.
Now I have to work on it over the weekend.
- Yeah?
- Don't make me feel bad about this, Harold.
See you later, Saeeda.
You promised we'd get the lace today.
Darling, I may have done,
but there's no time.
I'll drop you off at the store
and meet you at the hairdresser.
Mom, I need you to help me.
The competition's on Tuesday.
Then you'll have to wait.
I'll treat you to a hairdo. How about that?
Mom, there was an accident
on the corner of Anderson Street today.
It was a Black man,
a Black man on a bicycle.
Damn, I've left something behind. Here.
I'll meet you at the car.
I went to the hairdresser. Do you like it?
All right, Molly.
- Granny, guess what?
- What?
We've got a letter from Daddy.
Thank you, Milius.
There are some things in the back.
What did Daddy have to say in his letter?
"...by the swimming pool.
-"Molly, good luck."
- Kept all the lovely tarts for Gran.
"Jude, those were excellent exam marks."
The dustbins were in the way.
Why do you always keep them in that place?
I've got some biscuits
and some oranges in the car.
You brought us a sack last week.
You know we have oranges on the tree.
Hello, darling. That looks nice.
- Hello, darling.
- Hello, Nana.
You shouldn't hang about with wet hair,
Molly, you'll get pneumonia.
