Describe yourself in five words
Determined, no nonsense, patient, kind-hearted, sociable

What's the best piece of advice you've ever received?
I have only received the worst piece of advice

What's the most ridiculous thing you've ever done?
I was a young geography teacher at Eveline High school. I was invigilating a geography class and I sneaked out of the class when students were in the middle of writing their final O level exam. I had to go and get a pen in the staff room. From nowhere the deputy head, a Mr Shoko passed by the classroom to check on me. Within 3 minutes I was back and he asked me where I had gone and yet I was aware that students sitting exams should not be left unattended. Sensing danger I lied that I had gone to the loo to change my soaked tampon. He was tongue tied and he left. Talking of taboo. I hope he won't read this wherever he is

What is your most treasured possession?
My brain and my voice

Unwanted pregnancy

What's your biggest vice?
Spitting saliva after eating plain foods like bread, buns, scones

What were you like at school?
Very quiet and responsible but somehow playful. Very disciplined and friendly. Other students called me tete (auntie) and approached me for advice. I was also very neat and attractive

What are you doing next?
Going upstairs. I'm on punishment since April 2008. My husband said I haven't been performing very well so I have to give him a dosage every afternoon. If I complain he says I have to respect conjugal rights. I wish I was one of those unreasonable feminists. I would tell him it's my right to refuse. I hope he won't read this
