Dignity in labour. Many of the drivers own THIER own house. Teacher cannot afford cement

Most private schools pay between 25 & 50k per month. If he works dilligently for 12hrs/day that is 36k

Hmmmmm, COMRADES are still speechless over this challenge

Are you the only rider plying that route? 6k in two hours? Nah.
