*Wheels of Steel* In 2007 ngo June kuqanda ngangihlezi emlilweni having lost all hope... Amagetsi ayehambela I sign but what I loved ayele time-table. Umama wayefake imbiza yodaka emlilweni epheka inkobe ezazizaba ngumphako wami.... I heard tried temporary teaching, ukubhala amabhuku and novels, tried selling sweets and konke nje kwaba yize..... Nothing came out of it. Now usisi wami who had stayed e Rusape for some time wayethe kule gap le business so lowo mphako engangikhwezela umlilo ukuthi uvuthwe yiwo esaziwauthwala ntambama sisiya estimeleni. Umama wayethe imbiza yomdaka ayihlobisi ukudla and strangely I discovered later on ukuthi she was telling the truth. Abakwaziyo u 2007 ilizwe lalingena ku serious poverty, no food emagrosa, very high inflation, joblessness and hopelessness. People where trekking to SA in droves and buses ayekhwela daily. Uhulumende because wayengela control emabhasini that much, introduced night trains to Harare and Vic-falls. Now kwakumele sisheshe ngoba istimela sasigcwala sisiba lama standing passengers. Fortunately we had secured ama tickets ethu through some friend owayesebenza e NRZ...... ************************ Finally around 5pm sasuka sayagada ikombi lodade, bidding farewell to the City of Kings..... Engangilakho was a small satchel with my clothes, izicathulo I had one pair yonaleyo esenyaweni, also I had a huge pile of hope that we will make it big. Our plan of action kwakuyikuya woda I garlic, track the the Eastern Highlands Mountains and jump the border to Mozambique, sitshaye I barter trade and get fish and rice and shuttle it back to Zimbabwe, re-package it and make a cool profit. Our capital was so low udade wangitshela ukuthi it's enough for only one bucket of garlic.... But with faith, hope and the fact that ukudla kwakuku short supply, sasilokulithemba ukuthi we will hit the jackpot.... *To be continued......let's react and see how it goes*
