Unhappy hotel workers smile through third hand smoking

Despite her educational limitations, Maria Mogale (not her real name), a 34-year-old employee at a campsite in the Okavango Delta was determined to grin through smoke-filled rooms as she served her customers, including those who smoke cigarettes. She dreams of a future where she runs her on travel agency, and a campsite in the Okavango area. With all that she and fellow employees envisions smoke-free tourism resorts in the country, and hopes the law could be enforced to realise this.

The job has sustained her since she was 20 years, having not performed well in her Form 5 examinations.
