Generations: The Friends’ Intervention Does Not Go Down Well

Mpho, Mbali, and Tracy had a meeting in the morning. Tracy told them about how Nontle treated Zikhona the previous day at a work function.

Tracy told them that Nontle was being mean to Zikhona all the time. They decided to go and visit Nontle.


 

 

When they arrived, Nontle told Zikhona to offer her friends tea and muffins, but they said that they were fine. They told Nontle that they came to talk to her about the way she treats Zikhona. Nontle told everyone that Zikhona would be useless without her.

Tracy got mad and told her that she is emotionally abusing Zikhona. Mpho, Mbali, and Tracy told Nontle that she should try to respect Zikhona because she is always undermining her.

Zikhona told Tracy that she is fine because she did not want to upset Nontle. Nontle was happy to get positive feedback from Zikhona, so she went to talk to her mother about it. Ayanda told Nontle that she should apologize to Zikhona for her recent behavior.
