Freeing up the storeroom

After the moving out of his children, Nhuchhe Man spends his old age on the sixth floor of his house, caring for his ailing wife, Motimaya.

Nhuchhe Man dusted off the three pressure cookers one by one, his emotions a swirling mix of sorrow and relief at the thought of parting with them. To him, like the other kitchen appliances he had bought for each of his three sons, the pressure cookers symbolised an extension to his seven-storeyed house and a ‘strategy’ for realising his dream of keeping his family under one roof until his last days.
