I finished secondary level in 1999. I started working in the very same year in October under Kasinthula Cane Growers. I proposed the girl marry in May 2000. Everything was possible that I married her. It was very sad that I lived together with her at my parents’ home only a year. Regina was lovely wife but unfortunately she passed. She was living with her only grandmother who was very old at that time. Before her death, her mother, father and sisters were all dead.
Her grandmother brought up her and managed to send her to school. She was proud that she married me as well as her old grandmother. After funeral ceremony in 2001, May 12, I advised late Regina’s old grandmother not to loose hope for she lost her only lovely granddaughter, Regina because I shall be used to come and visit them forever. I manage to assist her with very little I earn.
This old woman came home on this day complaining that she spent almost a week depending on porridge only. She also said that she is even failing to find Mk10.00 to mill her only 2kgs of maize. It was very sympathetic when she expressed that she footed almost 20 km from Eastern Bank to Chinangwa village (my home village). Her legs swelled after several hours due to footing. I felt sorry for that.
