- Coconut
- The mountain was big and now it´s disappearing.
- My name is Almeida.
- I´m a handyman.
- You can use the coconut to cook. You can use it to make biscuits.
- It can be used to make curry, milk
- The coconut milk is a good thirst quencher.
- The fruit of our sacrifice here we are going to eat with our families.
- I can prove myself. I´m not officially married but I have my lady.
- I have my daughter and I have 2 of my brothers under my care.
- My daughter is going to start school next year
- but my two brothers already study.
- And where do they get a uniform and notebook? It´s from this.
- Instead of carrying single coconuts,
- we, or our clients sometimes use a sack.
- They put the coconuts in the sacks, sew the sack and then put it in the car.
- Now, when things are like this, sometimes we call our families.
- We are not marginal people, those of us that come from here.
- Because this is a job that requires a lot of strength.
- Whoever didn´t eat, whoever was out all night drinking, won´t survive this work.
- They take the coconuts to Maputo, Beira, Nampula to resell.
- So, the profit of their work is not equal to ours. I´m not a merchant.
- I said at the beginning that I was a transporter
- a facilitator to load the client´s cargo. So, for example
- We could get a woman that bought, say, seven thousand coconuts.
- To load them in the car by herself, two or three at a time. She can't handle it.
- See, we load the coconuts five at a time.
- So if there are five of us, the first 100 coconuts that we count, we already have 2500 coconuts.
