Kenny Kunene is grateful to all supermarket cashiers, bank tellers, petrol attendants and pharmacists during the lockdown.
“I went to the bank last week and none of them were wearing masks - there was only sanitisers. When I spoke to the consultant, I had to keep my distance. I realised that these people are risking their lives so that we can survive, whether it's business or personal banking,” he said.
The businessman was also moved by cashiers in supermarkets who often work without gloves and masks, putting their lives at risk. “There's only sanitisers available and their bosses are not even making an effort to buy them masks. My hearts goes out to petrol attendants, security guards and other people who are working and don't have masks but interact with different people throughout the day. I realised that these people should be appreciated and celebrated.
“So we need to celebrate them because they go to work with dedication and hope to help the nation. When they return home, they are scared of ... infecting their loved ones.”
