Once happen in Nkandla, Makhosi and lucky fallen in love at school, they could not think of studying to succeed in life but they were doing evil things at school because of being possess (the spirit of prostitution). Both were sixteen years old and they were doing grade 10.

One day they decided to stop going to school and then they prepared a journey to Durban to look for a job. They went to the taxi rank to climb a taxi. Arrived at the rank, they met their former friend Thando, who were working in Durban then Thando told them her life story shortly, she said ,”I stopped my studies when I was doing grade seven because of no financial, my mother died so early , I didn’t know my father and my grandmother couldn’t tell me more about mother’s life.

Now I am twenty years old, I knew that my studies could be the key of my life unlikely, the circumstance of life that put me down today. I have money from the evil ways. I was selling my body and drugs in Durban streets (at butter watt) and to the bars in order to support my family (grandmother and my small sisters). I always advise young people to study hard and to be far from the friends, which influence them with the wrong teachings. For instance:”

- Alcohol,

sexual relationships ,
the use of drugs at school ... etc”

Makhosi and lucky could not hear the advice of Thando because they were infatuated. They separated with Thando and climbed a taxi to Durban.

When they arrived in Durban, they started to look for a job around the city unlikely; they could not find any one to employ them. “They failed to find someone who could inform them about the work opportunities.” They started to sleep in the parks.

One week later, Makhosi saw someone in costume; she approached him and asked,” Brother, where can I find the hotel called Butter watt?”

Then the man replied,” Butter watt is a hotel and bar where ladies sell themselves.”

Makhosi was happy to hear that, the man knew Butter watt and then she asked him again,” can you direct me there?”

The man replied,” never mind, let us go”

That man was a preacher (Eto’o) and he was going to preach at butter watt for the first time, they shared the way to that hotel/bar. When they arrived at the main door, the securities searched them because many people came to do crime there. They walked in the reception room for more information.

The prostitutes thought that Makhosi was married Eto’o because many gentle men used to bring their wives to sell themselves there. Makhosi found many gays, lesbians, and women sellers.

The prostitutes told makhosi the rules of the club. While they were informing Makhosi, preacher Eto’o opened his small bag and took the Bible. He called intention of the prostitutes before he could start to preach. He quoted the scripture from revelation 22v15, which says, “Outside the city are dogs, people who do evil magic, people who worship idols, people who sin sexually, people who murder, people who loves lies and tell lies.” These scriptures provoked the demons, which hidden in the prostitutes, they quoted wrong the scriptures; and pointed the guns to the preacher - ready to shoot. At that moment, the receptionist stopped them quick as possible. It was the big disappointment to the prostitutes.

Makhosi judged herself, and she said, “How am I here? I am lost completely. If these people shot us, I should die then who had to be in charge of my death? I did not understand Thando, now I saw the reality of Durban. Never and never again do this ... back to school tomorrow.”

It was not late to go back to school then she went to collect lucky in the Conner streets of Durban and they went back to Nkandla.

Next day Makhosi called her friends and told them the story of the preacher and the prostitutes. Her colleagues complained too much.

“I don’t want to see preachers around me,” said Lungile.

“Why, Dear friend?” Sonto asked.

“Because, they don’t want us play that game and life without sexual intercourse is like nothing.” Lungile replied...

They all looked down at Lungile, they were happy to hear that.

“I think life without Education is nothing to me.” Nomathemba said

“Me too” Sonto supported the idea of Nomathemba.

“Courage dear friend ... I was lost now I am back” Makhosi testified her fiasco to them.

“You are fooling me, I am very hot friend.” Sizani said, she tried to impress her friends wrongly (bad intention)

“You are the ground of the best players, sorry for you sister Sizani.” Makhosi said, she addressed to Sizani

Thandeka and siphokazi did sneer at Sizani,” ha-ha! Heeeee, Huuuuuuu”

“Uninteresting topic, Hell, obsessed ladies.” Sonto said.

“What do you say to us? Poor girls, country side, witch.” Sizani said. She was very shocked for her work as a student naughty who took everything easily.

“Jealous, hatred, and dog in cheep... we know ... you are hypocrite Christians.” Sizani said

“Christians of uniform, you are 666.” Lungile said

Most of them got shocked to hear the truth. Then they started to swear Sonto.

“Sisters, remember the story of that lady who had been pregnant last yeah.” Gugu referred to their last colleagues who messed up their career because of doing bad things in the school toilets.

“They were enjoying their bodies in the class room and some times in the School toilets. What about us,

Can we be like them? Does the Bible allow sexual intercourse before marriage?” Sonto questioned her friends.

“I am a Zulu virgin woman, born in KwaZulu natal, especially at Eshowe Township. I always wish to finish my metric and go further with my University studies. I hope to be the first woman President of South Africa.

God and my ancestors hear my declaration today.” Nomathemba portrayed herself to them so that they could respect their bodies too.

“The angels have the wings to fly in the sky.

The demons destroy our minds...

Do we possess demons?

Why do we join Satanism doctrine at the young ages?

Who are we? Are we demons or we angels?

The angels, demons, and jinns are the invisible creatures,

We are visible and touchable creatures.

What relationship is between demons and us?

Oh! God, Deliver our souls under the hands of Satan,” Sindiswa was reciting a poem.

“I do not get you Sindiswa. Is that Satanic poem or a song? What do you mean by that?” Nohlanhla failed to understand that recitation and then asked Sindiswa.

“I try to mean that most of the students are possess, reason why they are doing so much wrong thing at schools ... for example :”

- Robbery,

- Prostitution,

- Witchery,

- Disobedience,

- Act of killing our teachers and colleagues

-... etc, “ Sindiswa answered all the questions from Nohlanhla.

“It is too mush friends, why do you take out our secrets. Okay! We are possess, what else?” Lerato shouted.

“I was calm listening to you stupid ladies. You will show me the residence of those demons and if not, your lives will be hell today. I am not of this world. Do not put your fingers into my eyes, “Lungile got angry and then revenged.

The majority of those women took knives from their bags to kill Sonto, Nomathemba, and Sindiswa.

Nomathemba, Sonto, and Sindiswa were worried and ran that quickly for safety, shouting, “help us, help us please brothers and sisters.”

The criminals continued their way to attack them, and then some boys took stones to defend Sonto, Sindiswa, and Nomathemba.

They were panicked, trembled, and returned back as quick as possible.

The principal Ayanda rung the bell to stop that fight.

A youngest boy (Lwazi) sang a song to call people together ... singing” wozani nonke singene ndaonye, wozani nonke singene ndaonye kaJesu (We welcome all of you in the church, we are welcome you in the church of Jesus) “

A smallest woman asked publicly “is Shaka Zulu rising to life?” no one answered her, but she tried to remind her colleagues about the fight of the ancient Kings.

“When people say bad things to you because of following Jesus Christ, you are blessed, why? Because the spirit of glory is with you,

Do not be like a criminal or a person who kills, steals, and sells her body. A person will suffer for doing wrong things.” Principal Ayanda advised the students publicly, everyone got her position and changed mind.

Makhosi remembered the speech of a late African Hero who wished his people to go to school, and then she said, “Uneducated nation leads to destruction. Young people, new generation, the Mandela generation, blacks, whites, Indians and Coloureds people ... go to school.”

She continued to say,” Jesus has the key of Hades and death. Jesus left the key of heavens to Simon Peter. Education is the key of the worldly life. Why do you fight? Tata Nelson Mandela brought peace in South Africa. Jesus Christ won the death to save the entire world.

The generation of good dreams and visions, young men and women hug each other; say peace and love forever in South Africa and Africa.
