Chapter 5 - NEW LIFE OUTSIDE THE ARMY;

As soon as I finished my military service I returned home to my father and mother and my siblings. Of course my relatives were very happy to see me back home but in my heart I was wounded and I wondered why I was not even employed at a government institution. Dady. telling me your time is coming don't despair I stayed at home for two months and decided to move to the gold mines life of mine is very difficult but since I had training I persevered and moved on, All we had to do was search for gold in the rubble that was being dumped from the mine. Sometimes we would jump over a wall at night and enter a mine to steal gold which was very dangerous but because it was a search you had to fight and put fear aside sometimes when you find gold your partner sees you ready to kill you to take the gold. be very cruel I remember very well in 2014 summer night we went into the mine we were five men luckily I got a piece of gold my colleagues wanted to snatch me the gold I had to put humanity aside and fight them one hit me with a stone on the head and head started to bleed then I knew these wanted to kill me and we were very low where even if you were killed there it is not easy to find a hand I had a hammer and flashlight I hit one of them with a hammer on the back and crying so much saying he killed me I had to run up to the wall to jump out and thank god I managed to get out and that night I sold the gold and at dawn I left and returned home the gold I sold 900,000 Tanzanian shillings. When I got home I denied the matter in my heart and after a while I told my father and father advised me not to go back to the mine. In 2015 I got a job at a mobisol solar company.
