worked at Tocotens for Gécamines. The company gave us a good wage. They provided a home to each family. They provided school for our children. When we had another child, they gave us one more sack of flour each month. After Gécamines left, we had no wage. We tried to dig in the mines. I had to go to Lubumbashi to sell the ore, but I could only earn ten percent of what I earned before.
