Nomcoba (Dingeni Mhlongo, 10?) and Shaka (Khumbulani Cele, 12?) in a hut.

Shaka and Nomcoba flee into the night with their mother.

Shaka and Nomcoba cross the Savannah with their mother. Nomcoba, exhausted from the long journey, is carried on her mother's shoulders and then also supported by her brother. The two children, as always, are dressed in a kind of loincloth, but Nomcoba's loincloth only covers the front part.

In the new village Nomcoba is helping her mother with a sheep to slaughter, when a group of boys arrive to harass and mock the woman. Shaka, finding himself nearby, arrives and threatens the leader of the group with a spear.

Shaka fights with the leader of the group of boys who had annoyed his mother, he is stopped by a woman before he can kill him. The loincloth leaves Shaka exposed from behind briefly a few times

The boys' revenge is not long in coming, while 2 boys hold Nomcoba back, others hold Shaka while he is beaten by the group leader.

Nomcoba runs desperately while her mother carries the dying Shaka in her arms.

Shaka (now recovered), Nomcoba and their mother leave the village. Until after a long and tiring journey they reach a new one.
