It was on the 13th February 2016 morning when one nuclear African family had to have one of those individualistic breakfast setting. There was a variety of what food could be prepared by each member of a family when it's their time to eat.
According to Basotho, one African tribe at Southern part of the Republic of South Africa, a family member must eat what's in the family regardless of whether one likes it or not. On the date mentioned above, the lad by the name Paballo went outside the family to get himself a nice piece of meat to make breakfast with. Remember, this is forbidden.
The father of this young lad Mr Nthunya couldn't care about talking some sense into this lad. But, the younger brother of Paballo, Mohlomi tried to talk some sense into the brother, and it did not at all go well. All this arguments between Paballo and Mohlomi were based on the principle that , " no family member eats anything from outside the family as long as there's enough food in the family".
Mr Nthunya couldn't intervene with just a simple principle like that, which the mother of the family raised the two siblings with, and in Mr Nthunya's presence.
Mrs Nthunya was at work at the factories when all this took place.
Mr Nthunya had made the mistake of encouraging that behavior from Paballo.
Mr Nthunya was digging a septic tank outside and he would push the load of soil at the top ground for the children to disperse and level properly on the yard.
Paballo and Mohlomi knew princely well their roles regarding the septic tank operation. But Paballo couldn't do none of it that day. He just misbehaved earlier on the breakfast issue and immediately left home without any excuse to their father.
He returned during midday to have lunch, which was prepared by Mohlomi who has been dispersing soil and cooking at the same time.
Mr Nthunya was furious and mad at him and gave Paballo some few punches.
This time mother of the house had arrived from work.
She stopped the harsh punishment from the husband and Mr Nthunya thought it would be wise he left for some fresh air.
Before he could get far, Paballo went to the utensils drawer and pulled the knife and gave Mr Nthunya, his father some hot speedy chase!
