THE BOYS OF THE STREET
Boy 1 - siphanela
Siphanela mother died 3 years ago. After she died, it was just him and his father.
Then his father married again.
From the first day, his stepmother did not want him. She would say, "This is not your house. This is my house."
She wanted to remove him completely, so she made a plan. She paid a man to make a FAKE DNA paper. She took that fake paper to his father and said, "See? This boy is not even your son. His mother cheated you."
His father looked at the paper. He looked at Lunga. He did not defend his son. He kept quiet because he was scared of his new wife.
That night, the stepmother opened the door and said, "Kik. Go to the street. You are not part of this family."
So siphanela left with one plastic bag. Inside was his school shirt and his mother's photo. He started sleeping under the bridge near the taxi rank.
Boy 2 - Sima
Sima was different. He had a mother who loved him, but he started following the wrong friends.
Every day after school, he would go to the corner with his friends to smoke drugs - w**d, and then stronger things. He would come home with red eyes, stealing small money from the house.
His mother cried many times. She begged him, "Sima, you are killing yourself."
One night he came home high and broke the TV. That was the last time. His mother, with pain in her heart, said, "I cannot watch you die in my house. If you want the street, go to the street."
She kiked him outside, not because she didn't love him, but because she didn't know what else to do.
So Sima also ended up on the street.
