This was under the pragmatism paradigm and used a questionnaire and interview guide to collect the data for the study. This study employed a mixed method design using an explanatory approach.

Qualitative data from interviews were analysed thematically while quantitative data was analysed using SPSS V23.0 and descriptive statistics were generated to interpret data using means and standard deviations.
