Sunday evening in Harare

TOP del.icio.us

Driving to meet some friends for dinner last night, three things caught my eye:

  • An old aged pensioner couple, walking down the road together. Her clutching her TM specials discount circular tightly to her chest. Him in his baggy jersey, pyjama bottoms and slippers.
  • A massive triple story wendy house, barreling down the road, strapped precariously to a bakkie, its platform clipping tree branches as the truck swerved to dodge potholes.
  • A man gets out of a kombi, and then waves after it with a sigh of frustration when it turned from its normal route, down a side street to look for more customers – the same side street the passenger was now left to walk down.
