Watu hawana disposable income and the purchasing power is so low. Zamani saa hii the entire villages kungekuwa kukinukia roast meat and Chapatis. Watu wa Ocha wangekuwa hosts wa watu wa jiji.
Bars would have stocked up on beers. Back then Makali (spirits) were for the rich folk unlike today where addicts buy a half of a quarter. In those days most hard liquors were imports from UK, France & Russia. .
Baada ya kula nyama na kunywa Soda we used to go the main road to watch these SAFARI RALLY cars racing in the muddy roads, some people carried radios with them to follow up with the races.
There was a kid (panjeet or white) who jumped on a safari rally in the oughts… Remember seeing it on the papers, but he was unscathed. Lucky bastard to not die after the stunt
Nimepitia my local afew minutes ago and not a single client in sight. Kitambo by midday, their choma grill would be full, and you order and have to wait 2 hours before your nyama is ready.
Money used to circulate back then. Mtu wa butchery na duka za nguo biz was top. Transport sector was also busy this week peeps going to shags and next peeps going back to major towns.
