Eventually, the two men settled on Shoba paying 70,000 rand, which is equivalent to about 3,800 US dollars.

Then they discussed how Musi was going to carry it out.

Shoba told Musi that Zeho was having trouble getting a job because of the pandemic.

People just weren't getting their makeup done during that time.

So she was struggling financially.

So they came up with the idea that they would set up a bogus job interview for her.

Shoba said that he would pick her up and then drop her off with Musi and then he could do his part and take care of the rest.

So Shoba actually got a new phone number and started messaging Zayho pretending to be a woman with a job for her.

The interview would be a job where Zayho would teach others how to do their own makeup during the pandemic.

They agreed to meet at a local McDonald's on May 29th, 2020.

But then the fake interview lady told her that at the McDonald's, she would be getting into a silver Jeep that would pick her up and take her to another location.

But this really sent red flags for Zayho.

She wondered why this job interview would be at a McDonald's anyways and why she needed to get into the car with someone instead of just driving to the secondary location herself.

So she was really sketched out by this and ultimately decided not to go in for that job interview.

But it's not like she told the person that she wasn't going to show up because she was sketched out.

She just decided not to go.

So Musie still went to the McDonald's and waited for her there, but then obviously eventually realized that she was not going to be showing up.

So he told Shoba and Shoba became pissed and they realized that they needed to come up with a more solid plan.

So they came up with a new plan.

This time Shoba would reach out to Zeho himself and arrange a time to meet up to talk about everything that the baby would need.
