He said:
“At one time I was selling alcohol, selling weed, and selling cigarettes. In the morning and noontime I do vulcanising and shoe making, hawk pure water here and there but at night I go back to that one. My shop was close to these prostitute quarters then, they were my customers.”
Victor Thompson also disclosed that he lost both of his parents at a very young age, with his father dying when he was just 10 and his mum passing on shortly after.
