I wake up every morning to the familiar sound of my alarm clock. The shrill noise pierces through the darkness, jolting me awake from my slumber. With a sigh, I drag myself out of bed, knowing that another day of monotony awaits me. My name is Zinhle Dlamini, and I am a night cleaner at a prestigious office building in Johannesburg.
As I go about my morning routine, I can't help but feel a sense of emptiness. It's been years since I lost my husband in a tragic accident, and ever since then, my life has lost its purpose. I used to be a vibrant and ambitious woman, filled with dreams and aspirations. But now, I find solace in the mundane, going through the motions day after day.
