Sphesihle ends the call with Ruri and heads straight to his brother's house.
He rings the doorbell.
The door swings open and …..
"Daddy!"
Sthelo shrieks with excitement, launching herself at him. Sphesihle scoops her up effortlessly, pulling her into his chest, squeezing her gently before tossing her into the air. Her laughter fills the house, loud and carefree.
