Nervous. But excited. I can’t wait for you to meet Sthandwa.”

Sthandwa was introduced as a naïve girl who left KwaZulu-Natal to find a better life for herself in Johannesburg. On her way to the new city, the bus stops at the hostel, where she discovers that her mother had abandoned her family and was seeking refuge at the hostel. After spending her first day at the hostel, she realises how dangerous it is for her and her mother, and begins to question why her mother would voluntarily stay there.
