'Cota'
Cota is a very hard-working young man and believes in taking up roles in the community which may sometimes be overlooked. He is a street vendor who operates in Okuryangava. Building a name for himself over the years, he has managed to become well-known in his location as the got to guy for quick need which include onions, tomatoes, chips, sweets, sausage and other daily required small items or those desired by anyone walking by his stand. Cota mentions that he enjoys what he does because he has learned so much from being a street vendor than he would not have if he worked somewhere else. "Not every day is easy but I remain very grateful and continues to look forward to expanding my “tuck shop”, he said.
