I Am Not a Witch Page #4

It will rain, I can assure you it will rain.

I mean, it was a simple instruction.

Teach the girl a, b, c, cl.

And we agreed.

Then you go in there.

You deliberately bring her there and

she doesn't do anything.

In front of that white man.

You know the man has paid us.

Why did you do that?

You want me to throw you back in there?

- No.

- Go back to where you belong.

Let's go home, you know what I'll do to you.

- Let's go home.

- Next time I'll do it right.

- Get out!

- I promise!

There are so many witches that would want...

to live your life.

Appreciate everything I have done for you.

- Baby I'm sorry.

- No, you're not sorry.

What's wrong with you?

There's nothing wrong.

- You want me to throw you back in there.

- No.

Go back to where you belong.

Brisky Japan, I just came from Lusaka.

My friend take it easy this is my last supper.

If you give trouble I will write you

using a marker.

The rap is colour purple,

listen to this girl.

Have you ever heard a girl who raps like this.

Mic check one, two, three to the four.

My flow is a race, on your marks let's go.

Alrighty, that there is hip-hop artist,

Brisky, marvelous as always, ever so flawless.

But now believe it or not

we do have in our studios,

a witch.

Her name is Shula the witch.

She's just joined us along with her state

guardian, Mr. Banda.

Welcome to Smooth Talk.

Thank you so much, we are so grateful you could

have us on your program.

Now, Mr. Banda a child witch.

That's unusual isn't it?

Yeah true, except we have this notion that...

a witch should be an old stinky woman

But in this case, what we have is a...

we have a child.

Now let's talk about people

wanting to use her service.

Some people might be a bit skeptical,

because they've got

Young children, they've got little pets.

Not to worry about that, as you can see

she's always on her ribbon.

We've got a ribbon for her.

So it's controlled movements.

I hear you've got a big announcement

to make on this program.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

I wanted to inform the nation

that we have...

- You brought some...

- A newline of eggs.

These are the Shula eggs.

Shula eggs?

These will just bring back

the life in your breakfast.

We do have phone calls coming through

and I'm being told...

our lights are really lighting up now.

People want to find out

what's happening. Hello, caller.

Good morning, Mr. Banda.

Good morning, sir.

I want to ask you, why is Shula...

Are you not taking to school?

Can you ask him a question?

Before we arrest you, Mr. Banda.

Is Shula in school?

Yeah, yeah.

Plans are under way.

We have plans.

The way I see Mr. Banda

is only interested in eggs for Shula.

Which means you are benefitting.

You're using her.

You are using her.

To make money.

Why are you promoting eggs?

Can you answer...

If people are going to be allowed to speak...

Freedom of speech should not be...

misused.

That's a total misuse of our freedom of speech.

To insinuate that I am doing this

as a business venture...

is totally unacceptable.

It's unfortunate that people think of it that way.

All I'm trying to do, as a Government

official, is to help this young Shula.

This is a gift that the young girl has.

- Mm-hm.

- OK?

This is a gift she has.

People have different gifts.

The government's helping.

What's wrong with us helping her?

Let's talk to Shula herself.

Shula...

You obviously must be surprised

with what's happening in your life.

How are you settling in to your new life?

He is asking...

How do you feel being a witch?

Well, I guess, like you're saying...

this can be daunting,

the cameras and all that.

Very.

This is a strange environment to her.

She's seeing these things for the first time.

So that's why you are seeing her a bit...

Otherwise she's quite a...

jovial, I mean she's quite a happy kid.

- Mm-hm.

- Yeah.

Unfortunately our young girl there Shula,

is certainly not comfortable.

I must inform also our viewers

that we're not dealing with an ordinary person.

She's a witch.

And it's very difficult for you to tell

whether a witch is happy or sad.

We don't go around scouting for witches.

They are brought to us.

- OK.

- Yes.

It's the societies they live in,

who'll say this one is a witch...

and they bring them to us.

OK.

But you said at the beginning

that, you know, she's young.

I think that's where a lot of interest

is from the nation,

that she's very young.

And yet, we're claiming,

I'll use that term, that she's a witch.

What if she's actually just but a child?

- How are you?

- Fine.

- What's your name?

- I'm Shula.

- Hello, how are you?

- Fine.

- Did you say your name is Shula?

- Yeah, her name is Shula.

- Shula...

- Yes.

What a lovely name.

- She looks sad. Is she okay there?

- I don't know.

Why are you upset?

Has she been here long?

Who put you in here?

They're not here.

Have you been here long?

Yesterday.

She says she's been here for some time.

She doesn't know who brought her in here.

Does she know why she's here?

Do you know why you're here?

No.

She says she doesn't know

why she's inside here.

I know what would cheer her up.

Why don't we take a picture together?

- Yeah, maybe.

- Would you like that? Shall we take a picture?

Want to take a picture with her?

Would you like to take a picture with me?

- You can smile, smile for the camera.

- Shula, look here.

I'll send it to you.

- Look.

- Smile.

Look at the camera!

Look!

Shula! Shula!

Open.

Shula! Shula! Open!

Shula! Open!

No.

Hey!

No.

Hey!

Hey you, where are the keys for this?

How do you forget keys in there?

Now look at what's happened,

she's locked us out.

How do you leave keys in there?

Come and try to open...

Try to open with something here.

This is open.

Come on, lift me up.

Easy, easy, easy.

Mind my suit!

Put me down, put me down!

So one of you go in.

Hah!

Shula, she's just watching.

Hey!

Open!

Shula!

Why didn't you open the door?

Why didn't you open the door?

Sit up! Why didn't you open the door?

I'm asking you why you didn't open the door.

Huh?

I'll toss you back to where you belong.

I look after you and now you're misbehaving...

You witch!

Sit properly!

Sit properly!

Sit properly!

Don't look at me!

Don't look at me!

Don't look at me, look somewhere else!

Do you see that big tree?

That's where I want you to go.

Understand? Start moving.

Welcome, welcome

We are happy to see you

What is your name?

What is your name?

Tell us now

Tell us now

What is your name?

- What is your name?

- I'm Shula.

OK.

Class, what did she say?

- Shula!

- OK.

Class,

last time when I gave you a test,

I came to discover that most of you

still have a problem

on punctuation marks.

I told you, a full stop is just like

when you are moving,

then you end, you stop.

Then you put that full stop

to show that you have stopped.

So you are showing someone

that the sentence has ended.

Welcome, servant of the Government.
