Eleven pages written by Debra Ngwenya in nine days, which nobody had ever asked her for in four years.

Thirty-four days, and an independent external review, free of charge, requested from a telephone number printed on page three of a letter dated the fourteenth of March.

One rigid-frame chair, fifteen and a half inches, axle forty-one millimetres forward, delivered on the ninth of February 2024, invoiced at four thousand eight hundred and sixty dollars, paid for by the family at a cost of nothing.

Eighty-one dollars and ninety minutes of a maintenance man’s Monday, on a three-eighths-of-an-inch strip of metal.
