What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to cement my house because the type of soil we have around is of bad quality and so it's costs a lot of money to buy and transport good soil from other areas every now and again. I also plan to buy chairs so that I'm am not humiliated when I have visitors.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is that I plastered part of my house using money that I saved in merry-go-round.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship I have faced in life is lack of sufficient funds to feed and educate my children because I have a large family and I lack a reliable source of income.
