Imagine, if you will, that it is a time of Kings and Queens and prodigious battles of grandeur- in the Victorian era. Dream even further, if it pleases, that it is these times, in this one (the 21^st century) in South Africa’s ghetto residential locale. Two Lords are at the height of an epic war, with each other. To surpass all clichés, their duel is for what else, but, the hand of a maiden- the fair lady, Princess Squeeza. Lord Guluva of Extension 8, and, Lord McLova of Zone 9 are scheduled to be in a bout to the death, and the victor marries her. May the best of the Lords win. On this day, they clash…
