Household indebtedness is a rising menace in Botswana

I owe so much money, I don’t know what to do. I am afraid to go to work; I know they are waiting for me. It’s Payday tomorrow, but what’s the point, I still won’t have any money. What am I going to tell my family when there is no food? How will I get out of this? I feel like I am drowning…
