What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to buy sand, cement, timber, round poles, nails and iron roofing sheets which I will use to build a house for my family. The remaining transfers will be used to start a small business selling fast moving consumer goods.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement is having managed to get an education up to form three in high school, unfortunately I had to drop out due to various factors, but I am still proud of the fact that I was in high school.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of enough money to build our own house, we still cook and eat at my deceased mother in laws house but we cannot sleep there due to cultural practices which dictate that a married son cannot sleep in his mother's house. This is unsafe at night because we have to go sleep in our tin shack which has no door.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the evening when I am relaxing together with my family as we have a meal.
