Mariam, the beautiful, intelligent and chic Sumu La Penzi girl has an uncanny ability to dig out money. Things have gone fairly well so far, but she made a grave decision when she set eyes on Hans. The white diplomat who has been in the country for work was an easy prey for Mariam’s tentacles.
‘Rangi ya thao’ The color of money is blinding and even the best of us get lost in its pursuit. It’s easy to reach a clouded perspective on someone when all you drawn to is their money. Mariam should have known better. But how could she? He is white and a diplomat. He smells like easy money.
He already offered to feed her ‘children’s home’ and committed by sending sacks of maize to Mariam’s house. Mariam couldn’t say no to that kind of generosity. But, big mistake, a ‘no’ may have saved her today.
This week, the mistake finally catches up with Mariam as she is escorted by police to answer charges she has no idea of.
How will Mariam get out of this?
