I know this man very well. I have known him to be a truck pusher even when I was in Primary school. I remember when the guys at Bubuashie use to make fun of him because he dresses like Bob Okala of blessed memory. It is very sad seeing him in this situation. He use to be one of the cleanest truck pushers in Bubuashie. His state now clearly shows that things are not the same anymore. Too sad!

Noble there will always be the poor amongst us until the end of day. All we can do is give help when and where we can.
