After the Germans were kicked out of Tanganyika, East Africa became a British Protectorate and they introduced a common currency.

Thank you for that. Kind of information we need around here once in a while.

Embassy building is still there along Jogoo Rd behind Uchumi supermarket. Liberty cinema building is at Pangani shopping centre. Both have since been converted to other uses.

Ktalk kuna wahenga

Enyewe mkoloni alihama nyumba tu, hakuwai toka hapa. I’m assuming ni De la Rue walikuwa wanaprint hizi bado?

Statue ilipigwa fence na chuma kuzuia Gor Mawe hooligans. Sijui kama huwa wanaipanda bado.

Embassy ilikuwa downtown huko karibu na river road.

Eastlands cinema pia ilikuwa hapo Makadara behind the court. Used to show a lot of porn on big screen.
