Your story is really interesting. Can you talk about how you transitioned from your original village to where you are now? Do you still have connections back to where you were born? How does it affect the way you raise your daughter?
- mmsimanga 10y agoMy parents were both teachers. When I was born, they were stationed in my dad's home village. We just lived with the whole family. It was village of cousins. We moved to town which is 60km (40miles) away when my dad got a job working in a mine. From then I went to school in town and only spent holidays in the village. To this day we still own our own cows and our home still stands. To answer your questions, yes more than half my relatives are still in the same village. We talking a village of 60 odd people. I organise a gathering every other Christmas, we slaughter a cow (apologies to the sensitive) and talk about the good old days. Times have changed even in the village. Everyone has a cellphone even in the village :-).
