“I knew with my body size I Mjengo was not an option because I had no strength to lift stones. I had to hustle doing odd jobs,” said Mbusi.

Daniel Githinji Mwangi, popularly known as Mbusii said that having struggled to look for a job he decided to sell soup in the slum.He further went ahead to also look for theater job when it dawned on him that by selling soup he was not able to sustain him and his family.

“ I thought within myself and decided that I wanted to make a living from acting in the theater. I used to make at least 200 or 300 bob which was a very big boost to me by then.It is there that I met Robert-Radio Ghetto presenter who approached me with an offer of doing traffic updates,” said Mbusi.

 
I did that job for six months then I was demoted to a messenger.Mbusi said that the move was so humiliating to an extent that he felt he was like a president being demoted to the position of a chief.

 
In addition, he said that he did that job for two and a half years and he was being paid three thousand shillings per month.

 
“It was hard to survive on such a meager salary owing to the fact that I had a wife and a young child to take care off. My friend Lion used to give me some few shilling like 30bob as a tip,” added Mbusi.
