“It’s Not My Fault”
After teaching yesterday, one of my students came to me at break time and said her friend was sick. So I went back to the classroom to find Fungile lying on her desk, with her head buried in the crease of her elbow. “Unani sisi?” I asked. (What’s wrong?)She didn’t respond.“Uyagula yini?” (Are you sick?)She
