A leap into the unknown is a journey of young man whose quest was to find job in the nearby city. He journed from the rural area in search for a better opportunity for employment. His name was John Nkuna who was the first born of three siblings. In an African culture the first born is regarded as a bread winner after the demise or the death of the father. John immediately after the death of his father was left without a voice but to follow in his father's foot steps of providing for the family. He took a bus to the big city which was about 398 kilometers from his rural village. Upon arriving in the big city John met his home boy by coincidence and his name was Sipho employed as a security guard in of the supermarkets in the city. Sipho was renting a room few kilometers away from his workplace. His friend John told him that he was blessed to have met him since he didn't know where to go and how to approach life in the big city as a first timer. Sipho invited John to come stay with him until such a time that he had secured employment. John thanked Sipho wholeheartedly and promise never to disappoint Sipho. The two gentlemen sat under a tree just to device a plan to help John look for a job. Then Sipho went back to work after taking John at home. John settled very well in Pretoria. In no time Sipho found a job and the first thing he did was to buy his home boy something to appreciate him.
