An interview with Teacher Chikwava has revealed a very touching and painful story. The Science teacher is the father of a 24-year-old son who lives with epilepsy and is both deaf and unable to speak.
Because of the responsibility of caring for his son and the need to provide for his family, he has been cooking and selling sadza at Copacabana for the past two years as a way to earn a living. It is his way of trying to make ends meet despite the difficult circumstances.
