Eugene Khoza

As cheesy as that sounds, it was my mom. My mom used to, she was a nurse. She's retired now. She had four kids. I was the third one. What she would do every month end was she would come to school and pick us up. Pick one up. So we had a roster. So every month end, one child gets a turn to go to town with her. Oh, damn. But she made a point to come before break. At school.

Go to a principal's office. Did your mom have a car? No. Okay.

So you're getting in a taxi. Yes. That's why she has to pick one. No, no. Also... It's what's going to happen in town when we get there. What's going to happen? You'll see. Okay, sorry. And then she would come to school and then talk to the principal and then I'd be like, there she is. And then she would come to my class. Would you know who she's coming to fetch? Of course.

No, no. We're not at the same school at the same time.

No, no. We're not at the same school at the same time.

So she'd come.

So she'd come.

No, no, no. You're all at the same school and then your mom would walk in. You just see her head past those big windows at school and then they'll be like, Eugene, your mom is here. And I'd be like, oh man, my mom. take my backpack and we're out. And then we would get, then we'd high five each other in the passage there. Then we'd get in a taxi and then off we go to town.

Then when we go to town, the first thing she did was we go to the park. Then we sit at the park and then she'd say, think of anything that you want, that you want us to buy today. Think of anything that you want. Then I'd be like, bye. Yes, yes. Yeah, I want that one. Beggar. Ninja tightly. Yeah, I want that. Okay, okay, I'm done. She's like, you're done. Sharp. Then we'd go.

and buy all the things that I wanted. And then I realized how many things I passed going to the things that I wanted that were insignificant at that point. Then you buy all the things you want. And then now we're doing groceries. Now we get to the nuts and bolts of it. Now she buys groceries for the whole house.

And then what she used to do for all of us was she would buy a slab of chocolate for all of us and a tub of one liter ice cream for all of us. That was ours to do as we wanted. So that's what she did. She showed me abundance. And my mom had a concept, when it's finished, it's finished. I've never struggled with loss, with loss of anything, especially finances.

We've done things with cars and had fun and made money and lost money and do whatever. I've never struggled with that concept at all because she taught me when it's there, it's there. When it's not, it's not. But as long as you're here, you can always make it again.
