Tingolwenkosazana ? In a small village of ELuthulini at KZN, there lived a 15 year old Tingo  who lives with her parents who are King and Queen of the village.The princess wishes to be a model one day, that's her biggest wish but her father doesn't agree with that. [In the royal house,Tingo is speaking to her mother] MaRhadebe:Tingo pass me my jersey,I have  join the other women. Tingo:Ma,have you spoken to dad about my request?he must have thought about it r.n. MaRhadebe:Yes, I have but you'll hear from him now okay? I'm gone. Tingo:bye then. [Next day Tingo goes to school with her friend Zintle.] Zintle: Friend, have you spoken to your parents about this modelling thing? Tingo:I spoke to mom and she doesn't seem to have a problem with it but I haven't heard anything from dad, and I'm afraid he might not agree. Zintle:Why wouldn't he agree, I mean it's your biggest wish and besides you're princess buddy. Tingo:Bro,you don't understand,if dad has decided then that's it. Zintle:Ohh, sorry friend. [In the royal house,the King and the Queen are talking] MaRhadebe:Baba,kunodaba ebeng'fisa siluxoxe la. Bab'uMthimkhulu:Yhini MaRhadebe khuluma?

Tingo went running to her room crying, with a broken heart,but she didn't give up,she wiped her eyes and told her self that no matter what,she is going to be a model,a successful one at that.As she was still speaking to her self she received a message from the modelling agency,they wanted her modelling videos and her pictures,she quickly sent some pictures and one of her videos to them.After a week of waiting,she received a message from the modelling agency again,this time they were actually accepting her at the school as they saw so much potential and talent in her. [Tingo speaking to her friend Zintle] Tingo:Ohh my,Ohh my,Ohh my,Ohh my,friend awaz'lutho haaa. Zintle: Tingo yhini?ubab'wakho uvumile yhin? Tingo:Cha,kepha I got good news.

Tingo kept begging her father to agree but he kept saying the same thing, so there was no way she could go to this school without her father's permission but she finally found a way. Tingo:Ma,ngyakcela i know awjwayele ukwenza lokhu kepha this is for me,my dream ma. MaRhadebe:Usowenzeni manje Tingo?Ufunani?

MaRhadebe finally agreed to the plan,they carried on with their plan but there was just a lot on their way.Bab'uMthimkhulu was planning on getting Tingo married to a  wealthy prince on their neighbouring village,a 24 years old prince. [Bab'uMthimkhulu speaking to Bab'uNgwane, who's also a king,the Prince's father] Bab'uMthimkhulu:kuphilekile yhini mfo wa kithi? Bab'uNgwane:Haa,kphilekile mfo wa kithi,ngiwumqemane kunjani k'wena?
