I knew that my colleagues were as miserable as me.  The money was never enough, for some like me, I never looked forward to the day.  It was doomsday. At the Amandwandwe gates, on payday there would be hordes of vendors collecting  their debts as most of us lived on the  twin evils of chikwereti and chimbadzo! Only last month, John a colleague  saddled with numerous debts had donned  on a  Jim Hendricks  wig. The surgical mask did the rest as he bacame unrecognisable.
