Ityala aliboli, abakhe babonana bayophinda babonane futhi #StoryTime

The year was 1992 and I was with my dad in his White Chevrolet Commodore going to town. When we got to town, I am not really sure where we were going but this old man came in front of us, smiled with excitement ... he called out my dad's name "Edz yhooo Mkonqo Edz mfondin yhoo ntanga". My dad was a karateka/judoka okay. The next thing I saw were flying kicks gishiya-gishiya-gishiya iTayma ikhaba lotata umdala imbamba ngeWashing ikorobha ngaye fast wakhawuleza wabokoboko uTata wabantu..
