Sello Zuma was in a foul mood. He did not sleep well the night before and the report he got this morning from his assistant-bodyguard had only made things worse. If Madoba knew that he had suggested to his son to go seize that damn farm, there would be hell to pay now that the moron was bedridden in the hospital barely able to move his legs. What the fuck happened over there last night? The doctors said that Thembani was recovering slowly. Another two weeks and he would regain his motor function completely. Two weeks. As to what had caused that, they were baffled. Only one among them dared to advance a theory. Exposure to intense ionizing radiation.
Zuma had to call back and have that damn doctor explained what he meant and the jerk had talked to him slowly as if he was stupid. No, Mr. Zuma. Generally, ionizing radiation are high energy waves and are all harmful, even in low amounts, such as gamma rays, x-rays, and ultraviolet waves. These types of radiation cause ionization of atoms and molecules, leading to the destruction of the molecules in cells and DNA. For instance visible light is not harmful, but if intense enough can blind you or burn your skin.
Zuma leaned back against his chair. That de Vries woman had just pissed him off and no one messed with Sello Zuma, not even the South African President himself.
He turned to his bodyguard. “Cebo, set up a meeting with Tsotsi.”
Cebo grinned. Tsotsi was the leader of the most violent gang in Soweto, the largest black township in Johannesburg.
