“I have been into the tailoring business since 2005,” Robert Hakizimana starts as a way of introduction. Below, in his own words, is his typical day: I wake up at 6a.m, prepare breakfast then have a shower. I organize my room after having break fast then set off for work at Nyabugogo.
"I have been into the tailoring business since 2005,” Robert Hakizimana starts as a way of introduction. Below, in his own words, is his typical day:
I wake up at 6a.m, prepare breakfast then have a shower. I organize my room after having break fast then set off for work at Nyabugogo.
By 7:30a.m I am usually at my place of work. Straight away I do some sweeping and cleaning up of my work area. During morning hours, I mostly deal with men’s clothes. Business usually picks up about mid-day. I always find time to have lunch regardless of the many customers.
I continue with tailoring until 6:30p.m when I close shop. I sometimes visit friends but make it a point to be home by 8:30p.m since I hate moving at night.
I bathe as soon as I arrive home. Then I prepare supper while listening to music. I sometimes wash my clothes at about this time and also carry out some ironing.
By 9:30p.m I make sure I have finished everything, pray and then go to bed.
