DIGNITY IN LABOUR: Meet Mr. Nartey the corporate water melon hawker.

This is not new to me because Ghanians are very clean, they truly know the definition of the word called "Hygien" have you been to their markets and see how they sell their meets, and edible stuffs?
They cover everything to avoid flies petching on them.
The man on the picture is a Ghanian water melon seller, Daniel Nartey, he dresses like
that all the time to hawk water melon around Madina in Ghana's capital, Accra to make a living. When asked why he
dressed on suit?
Hear what Daniel said;

"My pastor always says dress well no matter the job you do, so I decided to wear a suit. Some laugh at
me, others encourage me and are willing to help me"

Daniel says his dressing gives him an edge which helps him make 100 % profit after sales "I make 100% profit. I think it is because of how I dress, people notice me easily and want to buy from
me,"
The 25-year-old is a primary school teacher and sells watermelon during weekends and when the school is on vacation. He is saving up to buy an oven and wants to one day own his own snack bar.
