- 2:58Speaker 1: Molly. Those were ceremonial built on snacks for brainstorming. You've
- 3:02Speaker 1: ruined the vibe door. Burst open with a loud bang
- 3:06Speaker 2: guys, guys. It's a catastrophe. A calamity, a disaster. Bigger
- 3:11Speaker 2: than my time at the time. My smart flip flops
- 3:13Speaker 2: caught fire. Oh, please tell me you didn't invent another gadget.
- 3:19Speaker 2: The fire department already has your number on speed dial.
- 3:23Speaker 2: No nil it's worse. The star of Mhlanga. Ok. The
- 3:27Speaker 2: Crown jewel of the Christmas parade. It's been stolen. What?
- 3:31Speaker 1: The star gone? This is not just a theft, it's
- 3:36Speaker 1: a heist. A betrayal of Christmas itself.
- 3:40Speaker 2: Maybe someone just borrowed it for a selfie. You know
- 3:44Speaker 2: how people are these days? Nope left behind. Was this
- 3:51Speaker 2: find the star before Christmas or it's gone forever? No signature.
- 3:58Speaker 2: Just glitter smudges. That's weird. Num num num num
- 4:05Speaker 2: sounds festive. Maybe it's a theme park.
- 4:10Speaker 2: Nick
- 4:11Speaker 1: ignoring Marley. No time to waste. This is our moment. Team.
- 4:15Speaker 1: We will find the star and save Christmas.
- 4:18Speaker 2: Sure, Nick. What's the plan,
- 4:21Speaker 2: Mr Club
- 4:22Speaker 1: Board? We have two options, my loyal comrades and this
- 4:26Speaker 1: is where you get stuck in rags on the whatsapp line.
- 4:27Speaker 1: You're gonna decide for us. We either investigate the scene
- 4:31Speaker 1: of the crime, the town hall ground zero of this
- 4:35Speaker 1: dastardly deed or question the mayor and find out if
- 4:40Speaker 1: they know anything about this ominous letter.
- 4:44Speaker 1: All right. So now you have to decide on the
- 4:45Speaker 1: whatsapp line. What are we doing? Are we going to
- 4:47Speaker 1: town hall to snoop around or are we gonna go
- 4:50Speaker 1: see the mayor himself and go straight to the source
- 4:55Speaker 1: that's up to you to decide. 0825505151. Ok. So two things. One,
- 5:01Speaker 1: it looks like we're gonna need someone to audition for mayor.
- 5:03Speaker 1: So please on the whatsapp line because it seems to
- 5:06Speaker 1: be where people want us to go. Remember we had
- 5:08Speaker 1: two options here. The options were either we go visit
- 5:10Speaker 1: the mayor or we go snoop around town hall. I
- 5:12Speaker 1: think people want us to speak to someone directly.
- 5:26Speaker 1: Where is it? Where is it? Come on guys. Yes.
- 5:28Speaker 1: So he's uh he's tapped into the idea here. We
- 5:31Speaker 1: need to find the star has been stolen and it
- 5:34Speaker 1: must be returned before Christmas. Oh, no, Nick, you have
- 5:36Speaker 1: to visit, you have to visit the mayor Trixie's selfish.
- 5:40Speaker 1: She's the only one with answers
- 5:46Speaker 1: and a little bit. Alright. We got rough him up
- 5:49Speaker 1: a bit. Hey, Thabo. Oh yeah, we're gonna totally kick
- 5:52Speaker 1: his ass morning guys. I'm intrigued. Please question the mayor.
- 5:56Speaker 1: I can't wait. Ok, so that's what we will do.
- 5:58Speaker 1: We'll do that next on the show. Uh We're getting
- 6:00Speaker 1: auditions and also for who the mayor is gonna be
- 6:02Speaker 1: played by. Remember we have a bunch of characters available.
- 6:05Speaker 1: So if you would like to be a part of
- 6:07Speaker 1: our
- 6:08Speaker 1: mystery festive season, South African Drama, you're welcome to 0825505151. Alright,
- 6:17Speaker 1: so particularly Maley and um Thabo were complaining that the
- 6:21Speaker 1: show music that I had for our
- 6:24Speaker 1: radio drama wasn't Christmasy enough. So I've gone with something
- 6:28Speaker 1: very on the nose. Is that better? I love that. Yeah. Ok,
- 6:31Speaker 1: we're happy. Alright, so choose your own adventure. You on
- 6:34Speaker 1: the whatsapp line had to decide if the four gang
- 6:37Speaker 1: trying to retrieve the star of Mhlanga, either went to
- 6:41Speaker 1: the mayor's office or city hall to go snoop around
- 6:45Speaker 1: and you chose that. We go to meet the mayor.
- 6:48Speaker 1: So
- 6:49Speaker 1: on the line, uh playing the role of mayor, we
- 6:51Speaker 1: have Tyson Tyson. Good morning, brother. How's it? How's it?
- 6:55Speaker 1: I'm super well. I'm super well. You've got the script
- 6:58Speaker 1: in front of you, right? OK. Have you, have you
- 7:00Speaker 1: given any thought to your character? How you gonna play this?
- 7:04Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like Mayo Zombie is probably like a
- 7:06Speaker 1: generation's character. All right. So you're gonna be uh a
- 7:11Speaker 1: little over the top maybe.
- 7:14Speaker 1: OK. So Mayor Zondi played by Tyson on the lines.
- 7:18Speaker 1: I'm gonna set the scene for you, right? Uh OK.
- 7:21Speaker 1: So now we've realized that the star of Mhlanga is missing.
- 7:24Speaker 1: We need to find it and we've gone to go
- 7:26Speaker 1: question the mayor. So the scene transitions to the sound
- 7:29Speaker 1: of footsteps. Can anyone do that? Footsteps? Thank you, Thabo
- 7:33Speaker 1: on Cobblestones. Uh And the festive street chatter in the background,
- 7:37Speaker 1: the team approaches the mayor's office. Oli knocks on the door.
- 7:44Speaker 1: Is it me? Does everyone think it's me?
- 7:48Speaker 2: It
- 7:48Speaker 2: literally says Polly.
- 7:51Speaker 2: No guys then. Where am I looking? Are you at?
- 7:55Speaker 2: Part two? Oh, ok. There we go.
- 8:00Speaker 2: Mayor Zondi, we need to talk. It's urgent
- 8:06Speaker 2: agent.
- 8:08Speaker 2: Is it about the parade?
- 8:10Speaker 2: Because if you are here to complain about food placement,
- 8:12Speaker 2: you
- 8:12Speaker 1: can turn around right now. He's so good.
- 8:15Speaker 2: No. Mayor,
- 8:17Speaker 2: it's about the star from Langa. It's gone, it's gone.
- 8:22Speaker 2: E gone. What do
- 8:24Speaker 1: you mean gone?
- 8:25Speaker 1: The star is locked up tighter than Ugo's Kanu.
- 8:31Speaker 1: All that's left is this glittery ransom note? And then
- 8:34Speaker 1: I take out the notes and then I hand it
- 8:37Speaker 1: over to mayor.
- 8:39Speaker 1: Find the star before Christmas or it's gone. Mm. The
- 8:45Speaker 1: glitter is peculiar.
- 8:46Speaker 2: There's only one place in town that's using this much
- 8:49Speaker 2: sparkling
- 8:50Speaker 1: gli craft, Liora.
- 8:52Speaker 2: Hm. So either a kraft has stole it or someone's
- 8:58Speaker 2: trying to frame them. Either way we are running out
- 9:02Speaker 2: of time. Mayor. Do you have a list of suspects?
- 9:06Speaker 2: Anyone with access to the town hall maybe
- 9:11Speaker 2: is the usual suspect. But I suggest starting with the
- 9:14Speaker 2: craft as those people, they always see everyone's business
- 9:19Speaker 1: brilliant on with my team. Let us follow the trail
- 9:23Speaker 1: of glitter to justice.
- 9:26Speaker 2: This is going to end in glitter all over me,
- 9:29Speaker 1: isn't it? What about your
- 9:30Speaker 1: Californian accent? 00.
- 9:31Speaker 2: Oh, sorry. Oh, sorry, sorry.
- 9:32Speaker 2: Oh, this
- 9:33Speaker 2: is totally gonna end with
- 9:35Speaker 1: and glitter
- 9:36Speaker 2: all
- 9:36Speaker 1: over me, isn't it? Alright. So that means that we
- 9:39Speaker 1: have two options, by the way, Mayor Zondi, I really
- 9:41Speaker 1: thought that you are up for best supporting actor. The improv.
- 9:50Speaker 1: Congratulations Mr Zondi. Thank you. Thank you. We thought you
- 9:53Speaker 1: did a stellar job and you get to help us
- 9:55Speaker 1: pick because we're gonna pick on the whatsapp line. Now,
- 9:57Speaker 1: there's two options. Do we either go visit the Glitzy
- 9:59Speaker 1: Kraft Emporium to question the crafters or do we go
- 10:02Speaker 1: investigate the town hall records to see who had access
- 10:05Speaker 1: to the star of Mhlanga? What do you, what do
- 10:06Speaker 1: you think that we should do? I reckon we go
- 10:08Speaker 1: to the town hall and see who had access. Ok.
- 10:11Speaker 1: So that's town hall access. It's either that or go
- 10:13Speaker 1: straight to the glitzy
- 10:14Speaker 1: drafting poem we'll choose on the whatsapp line, but you've
- 10:16Speaker 1: been spectacular. Thank you, brother. Thank you guys. It's such
- 10:21Speaker 1: a pleasure. Ok. What are we gonna do on the
- 10:23Speaker 1: whatsapp line? I kinda wanna go to these glitzy people
- 10:26Speaker 1: and rough them up a little bit, you know, but
- 10:29Speaker 1: that's not up to me. It's up to you. What
- 10:30Speaker 1: would you rather have us do on the whatsapp line, please? 0825505151.
- 10:36Speaker 1: Stand by for traffic.
