Mampara of the week: Sibongile Mani
Noughts for her comfort
Little Miss Piggy, what did you find? Ten thousand times more money . . . were you that blind? Did you not pass your maths tests at school? Or did you think that we were all bloody fools? Do you not know how to read a nought? Or were you super confident you wouldn't get caught? Did you do the right thing and go to the cops? Or snatch up your handbag and rush to the shops? Did you really think nobody would see? When you flashed your bank card and embarked on your spree? Did Mama and Papa not say: tell the truth? That if you steal from others you'll be bust by a sleuth? Are you ready now to spend time in jail? And with all that lovely lolly, will you get bail? Do you think it's cool to be Mampara this week? Or is it a hidey-hole you now need to seek?..
