I lost a lot of things, but I am very happy that I am back. I thank God. In the last attack, they burnt down my shop. It was worth R1,200,000 . If I could have that money in Nigeria, I’d be a big man. I could not get anything. I came back empty-handed, except for some of my clothes and shoes.A lot of people are crying over there; they want to come back.
