The following points may be included in the essay, among others, but allow for the candidate's own interpretation as well: • Sipho and his family o Sipho felt unloved as a child. o His parents favoured Themba. Themba always got his way. o Sipho was punished for Themba's mistakes. o His only toy (the wire bus) was taken away from him. When he complained to his parents, they always took Themba's side. o He never forgave his brother for these childhood events. This leads to a lot of pain and anguish for Sipho. o As a young man, Themba was popular with women. He was also popular in the struggle against apartheid. This made Sipho jealous and hate his brother. o Sipho was not allowed to further his studies, yet his parents found the o money to put Themba through university. Sipho had to support his brother while he was at university. This causes Sipho much pain. o When Sipho married, Themba had an affair with his wife. There is a great possibility that Themba is the father of Thando. o Sipho's son Luvuyo idolised Themba. He blames Themba for his son's death. o Their father's funeral was turned into a political rally and Sipho blamed Themba for this. o He kept all this heartache to himself. o He could not forgive Themba or the government for his loss. • Sipho and his employers o Sipho started working in a law firm as a clerk. On two occasions, he was promised that he could complete his articles, yet it was always given to young white boys entering the law firm. o He worked at the library for 33 years. He was regarded as the most suitable candidate for the post as Chief Librarian. The post was given to a younger person who had just returned from exile. This caused Sipho to become bitter and very angry.

This causes him to drink heavily. It is in this drunken state that he actually reveals the truth about Thando's mother and Themba. o He eventually faces the truth and realises that he cannot blame Themba for his son's death or his wife's affair. o He accepts that he was somewhat jealous of his younger brother. He accepts that it was because of his age that he was not appointed as the Chief Librarian. So, it is through the constant questioning of Mandisa that Sipho is able to forgive and free himself of all pain and heartache.
