Banele | Self-regulation, Expectation, Presence/absence, Gaze, Bathing, Support

Sihle is holding Banele wrapped in a blanket against her chest. He is asleep. This is the first time that Sihle, Banele’s older half-sister, has been allowed to hold the infant during filming. Mom arrives and preparations begin for giving Banele medicine and a bath. After protesting the medicine, Banele settles. Sihle and Skhumbuzo help in preparing the bath and Banele seems to seek mom’s gaze for a while before she returns the gaze and talks to him.
