A picture worth a thousand words. Walter's store.

A store that might once be lively turned into an abandoned store with nothing good left in it but shrubs and condemned shelves.

I feel there was a major breakdown in the business that couldn't be recovered.

Mr Walter who is a retired civil servant could not believe what happened to his store where he sells all kind of provision after the end Sars protest.

His knees couldn't hold him as he was already an old man. He fell to the ground when he got to his store to discover that some hoodlums took advantage of the protest and broke into his store, it was supposed to be a peaceful one to help stop the killing of innocent people by the people who are supposed to be protecting lives but then it turned into a violent one that instead of helping the situation it only led to more lost of lives and properties.

His retirement money was used to establish that store that was what he used to keep himself and his family going as his pension money will come just once in a while.

Mr Walter knelt in front of his store and cried until his lungs could no longer accommodate the pressure of air that passes through it.

Mr Walter was rushed to the hospital so he could be stabilised? When he was finally discharged from the hospital Mr Walter would wake up every morning and to walk to his store and sit in front of it for 4 days but then he stopped going there since it would always be a waste of time and that could cause more harm to his health as he was old and vulnerable to high blood pressure.

So someone advised that Mr Walter should request for Grant from the government just so he could bounce back on his business which he did.

Picture worth a thousand words

But this is almost 3 years that his request is yet to be considered, leaving the store at the mercy of grasses and flies and still full of hopes that the government will give in to his request someday.
