Why I quit brewing ‘changaa’

Most, if not all illicit brew narratives end in tragedies. People have lost sight and lives after taking illegal hooch prepared in the most unhygienic conditions in the world. Families have broken, breadwinners lost, pupils and students forced out of school... into early marriages. But whenever the brewers and sellers are asked why they do the illegal business, the answer has always been, "I do it to get something to feed my children". And is it the only thing? 

So when I heard of a woman who, out of her own volition, decided to exit this club of illicit brew sellers, I decided to go after her, armed with a lot of questions.
