“We have a supermarket for staff.  if a staff is going home, and don’t have what to cook at home, they can come to the supermarket and pick what they want at a subsidised rate. So you only pay some little money at the end of the month. No profit, but to help the staff. It’s a welfare arrangement,” he says

Nobody in the whole of Africa has it. I’ve done my research. Kenya did something. It was a two-story building. I also went to Ethiopia. The altitude is about four.

This is 30 feet high. 30 meters. Which I want to show to you. And we are having six of it on this building.
