Goodbye Bafana Page #3

---

Right! Back to work!

Let's see you breaking some rocks!

Last one on the right,

it's nice and damp in there.

Hey, you!

I'm talking to you, man! Look at me!

I'll see you, Mandela.

Mrs Mandela. Sergeant Gregory.

I'll be monitoring your visit.

-How do you do, Sergeant?

-Follow me.

Vosloo, escort Prisoner 466/64

to Booth 3.

Here please.

You speak only in English

and only about family matters.

Prisoner ready.

You have 30 minutes, starting now.

-How are you, Madiba?

-Compose yourself.

We don't have much time.

How are our daughters?

They can't sleep at night,

terrified the security will come

and bash down our door.

That is political, Mrs Mandela.

It is not! It is about our family!

There is too much harassment

from all sides, all the time.

It is upsetting the girls.

George Bizos suggests we send them

to a boarding school in Swaziland.

They'll come home on holidays.

Will you cope being alone?

When I married you,

I knew I was marrying the struggle.

Have you heard from Evelyn?

She has a job at the mines, typing.

Thembi came to visit.

-How is my son?

-He is a man now.

He has his driver's licence

and his own car.

Tell him I am allowed another visit

in six months' time.

He has to put in an application.

I will tell him.

How are our friends in Lusaka?

Oliver has been appointed

President General of the ANC.

English only!

Tell Oliver that all of us in here agree

he should escalate the armed struggle.

The people must make

this country ungovernable.

That's it. Vosloo, this visit is terminated!

-This way please.

-No, please!

-We were talking about family matters!

-Do you think I'm stupid?

Vosloo, escort the prisoner back

to his cell. Follow me.

On your feet, Mandela! Move!

Gregory!

-That was quick.

-They started talking in Xhosa.

About what?

Mandela told her

to instruct Oliver Tambo

to escalate the armed struggle,

said they must make

the country ungovernable.

Anything else?

Family stuff. Kids going off to

boarding school, that sort of thing.

When Winnie gets back to Joburg,

she's going to be detained indefinitely.

It's going to be front page news.

I'll send you a clipping.

Make sure Mandela gets it.

No problem.

Oh, one small thing.

She mentioned his son, Thembi,

the one from his first marriage,

he's got his driver's licence,

even has his own car.

-He probably stole the bloody thing.

-Right.

-Hello sweetie!

-Ladies!

-How was your day?

-Good, where are the kids?

Switch on the kettle, won't you,

make us all a nice cup of tea?

-What do you think, James?

-About what?

-Her hair!

-Oh! It's nice.

Nice? Please, it's stunning!

Wait till Jan sees it,

you're in for a busy night, my girl.
