To agree to disagree

The following day, Dumisa confronted Ntshaka. "Why did you betray me, Ntshaka? I believed in our friendship." Ntshaka smirked, unapologetic. "In this world, only the cunning endure, Dumisa. You were a mere means to an end." Despite the pain, Dumisa understood he must outwit Ntshaka. Formulating a plan to expose Ntshaka's deceit to Umfundisi, Dumisa simulated sleep that night, vigilantly observing Ntshaka. As anticipated, Ntshaka revisited the pantry, consuming all the winter's store of meat. At dawn, Dumisa awakened Umfundisi, leading him to the pantry where they discovered Ntshaka, satiated and drowsy, amidst the remnants of the feast.
