House on fire

My neighbor’s house was set on fire at around 2am. When I was asleep I heard a knock at the back door of my house. I asked who was that and answered me by mentioning the name. I recognized the name and woke up. The man asked me to provide him with only 2 matchsticks. He told me that he just wanted to lit his cigar. Then the man left for his home almost 500m from my home within the village. Before I go back to my bed, I saw a sudden light from my neighbor’s house. Due to that burning light I saw a man who asked me matchsticks running away. Other neighbors woke and the man was caught. Nobody got injured because people tried to stop the fire. Was arrested by community police service and taken to village headman. The man is a heavy drunkard to the level that he fails to support his family. After being asked by the Village headman, he said that he set on fire to that house because the owner (a woman) was used to cater his wife whilst he is starving with hunger. The owner of the house was worried because is taking care of that man’s wife for he used to drink each and every time / every season.

My general manager informed me that there would be some visitors from America who scheduled to Kasinthula Premium Fund Committee on September 13-2007, at around 2pm for Fairtrade discussion issues. I being a Premium Committee secretary informed the general members about that meeting.
