"The biggest hardship I have faced in my life was losing all my money that had got from the sale of sugar cane. I joined politics and spent every cent that I had, things turned out negative and I lost the seat for area counsellor. I am now finding it difficult to pay for my family's needs like food, clothing and education. "
