Only today, I just cannot explain the passion I witnessed in a young girl of about 20 who is the chairperson of a group of co-operative farmers. At first, I flatly refused to meet her, reminding her of the lockdown and she told me that to remember that we are in the food production sector and therefore responsible for the survival of our people and country just like the police and the doctors. I asked her what was it all about and she told me that they needed a business plan that will be relevant to the delivery of food the households door-to-door to reduce the long queues at malls therefore reduce the chances the decades spreading. I asked her being so young, is she not scared to be contaminated? She shrugged, looked straight into my eyes and said "Tata(old man), I can take care of myself, my group and my country. This job is for young people like me. Just do your part and I will do mine, okay?
