Svig:"woah woah woah hold on a minute, Jaco is

Javas:"yes"
Svig:"how f**k so?"
Javas:"they...they confiscated all the drugs, the money

Waiting for Svig was the longest wait of our lives. Gerrit o

Svig:"anyone care to enlighten me about what happened?"
he had a scary look on and his voice was hoarse and calm
Javas:"uhm ta....the police just budged in here and

Svig:"so everything was just in the open?"
Gerrit:"everything was in the room over there"
Svig:"dammit" o ralo a tshi khou dzungudza thoho o

Svig:"do you have any idea what this means? There is no

Police2:"we didn't know, no one knew at the station,
there is a new detective, he don't discuss his plans, he just do everything
alone with his team"
Svig:'this is what you are going to do, make a plan, i don't
know if you have to kill the station commander or steal the docket or bribe
your way into it but one thing for sure, i want Jay back"
Police1:"but boss that guy keep the docket with
him"

you guys think" he smiled a faint smile

Those are the cameras, i have my guys watching us, so go ahead and kill me boy

Svig:"ok i am soo disappointed with Jay's team, i
thought he groomed you guys well for this, i mean it looks like no one is ready
to take over Jay's position amongst you guys.....let me get this straight, this
is not for feint hearted, this is for men, real men....life is a b**** and we
have to be tough with it, you have to live everyday expecting to die, i don't
mind dying but i wanna know that if i die now, will my business be taken care
of? Let me tell you a story, this business was my fathers, i had to take over
from him when he died, he died when i was about 15 years....yeah and i became
the gang boss at that age, it wasn't easy but i got the hang of it because my
dad had taught me the basics before he passed on. I learned to look death in
the eyes and not be afraid, death is part of every gangster's life, i was not
playing games when i said Gerrit must kill me if it makes him feel better, its
something that is gonna happen anyway.....I am not too happy about the fact
that Jay didn't teach you that"
Stricks:"don't you worry about your child and your
wife?"
Svig:"i always make sure that i give them the best of everything
when i still can, my dad did the same for me, but if i die i die they’re gonna
have to continue with life without me, at least they will be taken care of…guys
this is your lives, take risks, when you are in this kind of life, you have lot
of enemies, and i mean a lot....amaxata asi zi chomi zakho, la bantu bafuna usi
bamba nxa and as a result nathi si funa si yenze kwonke uzivikela"
Javas:"but bombing a police station is-"
Svig:"nah listen, we are doing this no discussion around
that, its about time you accept who you really are, this is not time for tears
and all that" He looked at Gerrit a dzungudza thoho, o mbo di takuwa aya

pointed a gun at me....i feel..." o mbo di bonya mato a dovha hafhu a a
vula "disrespected but i will tell you this, i am not in the mood to kill
any of my team members today so consider this your lucky day but just remember
that if ever you pull a stunt like that again......i won't even think twice
before killing you ok?" he had that scary look on
Svig:"so this is how its gonna go down, we both know
that the police stations are usually so chilled out neh, i mean they don't expect
anyone to bomb them or anything of that sort, so this is gonna be very easy...
i know you are probably thinking that this guy is insane but its all in your
heads, get rid of that fear boys, this is nothing, i am just waiting for a call
right now to let me know where exactly the stuff is being kept and after
fetching them, i will have my guys in Cape Town to take in Munro's son, and
then with that i can set up a meeting with this Munro guy, he has to know who
he is up against, i know i won’t be able to bring Jay back but i can prevent
anything from happening in the near future"
X:"eishh"
Svig:"don't sweat it, i have more guys to back us up so
its no big deal, i have been involved in some serious s***t boys, this aint
nothing"
sticks:"owk"
Svig:"pack up the machines that we’re gonna use"
Ro mbo di takuwa ra ralo u thoma u bvisa ma gidi, damn…it
felt like i was acting in some Tom Cruise movie, this was some scary s***t in
front of me. I thought about what Svig had said, ni tea u dzula no lavhelela u
fa anytime, how does one do that? U zwi kona hani u tanganedza uri i might die.
My child was still in hospital, he was not even a month old and i was supposed
to be fine with leaving him? The thought of Tshililo alone made me sick
Javas:"hey V Boy focus man" i snapped out of my
thoughts nda ralo u panga zwigidi na dzi gulu kha bege ye yavha i henefho. We
heard a ping sound from the computer, Svig oya a tolela
Svig:"good we have the location of the stuff, i will go
in with just 2 of you guys, and the rest can wait at different locations
outside...i will explain the whole process, i am gonna need a drawing board

Svig:"owk
drive straight all the way to the Russel road and then before you get to the
intersection close to the harbor turn to your left on the Goven Mbeki Avenue
road, there will be a black ford focus,
just drop everything with them and run, don't spend a minute V Boy, get there
unlock the doors and they will jump in and offload everything, i told them
where we packed the stuff in your car please, can you still see the cops?"
Me:"yes
from a distance though"
Svig:"make
sure...and i mean make sure that by the time they make a turn everything is
done and you are just running, when that's done you can slow down, they will
search your car and find nothing and you can tell them that you were not
running but you were just in a rush, your wife's friend is sick and therefore
you had to go quickly, if they wanna make sure, i will make it a point that my
wife knows and if they are persistent you can lead them to my house"
Me:"talk
later i have to take the turn now"
Svig:"sure
call me back"

businesses, i bought that car please don't arrest me" sometimes you gotta
act like this
Police
2:"you are acting clever neh?"
Me:"guys
this is not on, you just stopped me and start searching my car without showing
me a warrant or addressing yourselves in an appropriate manner to me, i can
open a case of assault, yeah this is assault, so did you find what you were
looking for since you are not even telling me what is it that you are looking
for?"
Police:"guys
i think it was just a false alarm there is nothing in here"

Me:"i
didn't run from you, i didn't even know you were after me to begin with, i was
just in a rush, is that also a crime now? Owww please wait a minute....don't
tell me that you wanna arrest me for that fact that i am black and driving a Benz...i
mean i wouldn't be surprised, you won't be the first officers to do that to
me" i wanted to laugh at my own silly statement but i didn't

might be true"

Me:"i
am kidding about the last part but seriously you guys assaulted me"
Police

transported here by your car and yeah we sort of like thought you were
dealing"

imposible. How was i gonna keep on living like this, risking my life every damn
second that passes by. Ndo dzula nda mbo di tou li tavha gosi. I wanted to quit

used to play instruments at church, muthannga asa nwi asa dahi, muthannga we

like i would be turning 31 or something close to it. I closed my eyes and cried
for good few minutes. There was only one person that i needed at that time, one
person that could make me forget all this mess, muthu muthihi fhedzi ane ndinae

Svig:"owk,
i wont hold you guys up for too long, it’s been a long night, you gotta

Javas:"owk

Svig:"well
done for tonight, i didn't think you were going to pull it off but once again
you proved me wrong.....so…" o mbo di takuwa a vheya ngilasi kha tafula ya

Svig:"we
have another problem, you see that guy Munro?" o luma mano a dzungudza
thoho "i am going to teach him a lesson he will never forget and when i am
done with him, he will wish he was never transferred here"
Me:"you
mean like kill him?" he looked at me like i have just said a very stupid
statement
Svig:"KILL
HIM.....you don't kill man like Munro....YOU TEACH THEM A LESSON.....there is
no learning in killing, no lesson there"
Javas:"so
what are we going to do?" Svig o mona-mona o ri sedza
Svig:"he
tried to act smart with me, no one and i mean NO ONE, do that to Ta Svig, so i
have just a perfect plan for a man like him" he laughed a bit "he took his family to a safe house, but
don't stress about it because by morning tomorrow, they are gonna be under my
watch and i am going to torture them while he watch"
Me:"but
you are not gonna kill them are you?"
Svig:"ahhhhh
what can i say? Munro almost got me arrested so, depending on my mood, i might
cut them some slack but if he annoys me, i won't hesitate....i want that man to
look at himself and hate himself, i won't kill him at all and a physical pain
is also not enough punishment for what he did, but watching his family
suffering will definately give him what i want" Svig had that evil look on.
Nne na Javas ro sokou sedzana
Javas:"and
what do we do tomorrow?"
Svig:"you
come here and believe me Munro will be here when you arrive, make it 13:00 in
the afternoon, i want you to have some family time in the morning"
Me:"thanks
boss"
Svig:"that’s
all for now....you’re gonna have to get fat bonuses for all this trouble"
nne na Javas ro mbo di sokou sea. U tou amba ngoho muhumbulo wa u hola wovha u
