The weather really affected camp and Barry McGuigan even said: “In my entire 63 years of life, I have never ever seen such rain, never!”
New camp leaders Oti and Richard, however, had had an excellent sleep in the comfort of the leaders lodge.
However, it was Melvin who really suffered as his hammock got completely soaked overnight. He then had to sleep in the Bush Telegraph. He told his campmates: “I woke up, my sleeping bag was wet, my clothes were wet, everything.”
The rough night, lack of sleep and also general camp life saw Melvin’s spirits at an all-time low. He was teary as he spoke to Barry, who offered comfort with a hug. He also told him: “You’ll be alright, you’re gonna be absolutely fine. We’re all here for you, anytime you want us to help you or talk to you whatever. You can do it, you’re tough as hell I’m telling you!”
But it was Oti Mabuse who really managed to comfort Melvin thought. She told him: “You are doing so well Melvin and everyone will be proud of you, I promise you. It’s ok, you’re human.”
She added: “Remember why we’re here, the thing why you and I are pushing is because this is bigger than just you and I and we constantly have to remember why we’re here, what we stand for and who is watching us. And what it means when we do well. You know what it means? That’s why we wake up every day.”
Melvin then asked her to stay with him a little longer, she replied: “I’ll stay here as long as you need, I won’t go anywhere, I’ve got you until the end.”
