Thobani Madlala who is in Grade 10 at Mpophomeni High School, really enjoys Science and particularly likes his teacher Mr Olurunda who is from Nigeria. He and his dog, Snow White, live with his mother Virgina and his sisters. Sindi likes Snow White, but Boni is frightened of her, even though Snow White has lived with them since she was a puppy. Snow White loves jumping and climbing and sharing Thobani's supper, particularly when there is meat on the menu.
