Banele continues to sleep on the couch, while Zanele (his youngest sister) cries loudly. Dad has reprimanded her and taken away the cellphone she was playing with. Dad is tired and trying to keep calm as Zanele’s crying gets louder and other siblings warn her that she will wake the baby. Dad, angry, instructs one of his step-sons to fetch a belt, threatening to use it on Zanele. The scene plays out as Zanele struggles with her emotions of anger and love towards her father in the presence of Banele.
