Leaving Villeria


We lived at the address in Villeria for four years. The road remained unpaved and the African rainstorms turned it into a muddy stream. Tired of the long commutes to the city, my parents moved us closer to its heart, Sunnyside Pretoria. Our new address was Water Street, nowhere near water, but perhaps a good omen. With this move, our current nanny quit as the commute was too far. We had a few short-term nannies, but none worked out. The word was out - we were a large family, lots of laundry and sheets needs changing every Monday.  Pre-warned of the waiting workload, Linah Makokolo, arrived with a recommendation, came to meet us and stayed for the next eight years.
