“I’m not stealing from somebody. I’m working for myself. I risk for my own reasons. Just, I’m stranded. …That’s the only job I know, which I can do.”

“Since my father died, all my family, they put their hope in me…. that’s not the life which I wished (for) before. You know, living in a country where you are not free, especially in terms of those documents…I didn’t know it would be that difficult to me, like that. So, I have to go back there and complete my studies, and if it can happen, come back again, with all my documents, which can make me free.”

Darren Munenge

“When I’m on the outside, I like visiting my friends. We like to go play snooker and other games. Just having a good time with my friends. That’s what I like doing when I’m outside, because I’m free. I wish to have a prosperous life and forget that I grew up struggling.”

“There is no work. Even if you go looking for domestic work, sometimes, they ask you for ID or a passport. You don’t have a passport. You’re just a regular person. You came from the bush, you’re a nobody. Once you are here, you encounter other hardships. We are still here, but the hardships are real.”
