He also reminded the other learner that he had told him to stay on the farm and to have someone named Jackie clean the laundry.

Tebu's conversation didn't stop there. He playfully scolded his friend about being hungry after school and asking for food. He then added:

"As ek met jou praat dan praat jy met Brian. Wat doen jy met Brian? (When I talk to you, you talk to Brian. What are you doing with Brian?)"

Switching topics once more, Tebu says:

"Sê vir Thabo hy moet die mielies uitpluk. Dis nou die winterseisoen, my broer (Tell Thabo he must pick the corn. It's the winter season now, my brother).
