Finally, he left me. Arriving the stationary stand, I was bothered as I wondered what the country had become. Was it so bad for this to be happening? “Cry The Beloved Country,” I said out loud to myself. A touching book written by Alan Paton I had read back then.
Right now it’s title alone seemed to suit this moment. However, I did not rule out the thought that this man may be part of a syndicate of Con artists who specialised in targeting people with money to spend who patronised this store as well as the middle and low income.
Whatever the case may be, I still thought how sad this entire situation was. Government may have (through most of the challenges in the country caused by bad governance) turned him into whatever he has become, and when caught committing a crime, government would still punish him for what they had made him to become.
