My So-Called Friend

Thlalefo’s family is constantly moving, and she doesn’t often get to establish friendships. At a new school yet again, she strikes up a friendship with the beautiful Boitumelo and shares the story of her secret crush on Lethabo, whom she falls for when she sees him in her taxi. As it turns out, Boitumelo is a “mean girl” – she steals Lethabo’s attention while pretending to stay friendly with Thlalefo, leaving Thlalefo to learn a hard lesson.
When invited to accompany Itumeleng to a matric farewell event, the same event that Lethabo will be attending without Boitumelo, Tlhalefo
sees it as an opportunity to find out if she ever stood a chance with Lethabo and if she did, would she go against her own rules and values and reclaim what is rightfully hers?
