Shisha Bar. Note the chairs are all positioned outwards facing the road. Cafe culture as a ‘step-up’ from low level milling?

There are a lot of these tower buildings with exposed brick. Presumably they just don’t have enough money to finish the exteriors.

Very popular for older men to mill around on seats outside their houses watching the road, something to do and a way to pass time. You see it even down quite dirty, dinghy alleys. Presumably if you lived on one of these streets your movements would be watched like a hawk by these people, they would have a sense of almost all of your comings and goings. An incredibly communalist practice (observational milling) in that way

Sometimes in the poorer parts of these cities the ‘street children’ will run after you shouting “hi hi hi” and “frangi” (white man - lit. Frank) if you say to them “As-salamu alaykum” they laugh and make excited giggling noises and then spin around and run off to tell their friends. Occasionally they will bring their friends back to see the frangi and this can create small crowds of children orbiting around and encircling you as you walk

That is a cafe in the bottom right corner. Interesting design choices in places like this - they had a high end bar table and some TVs and modernist decor and expensive fairy lights and glossy menus but the cafe was also covered by a plastic sheet and had a lumpy dirt floor and was built into the bottom of a building that looked like it had been shelled out

The Main Street - stalls and vehicles and people everywhere. Don’t know if you need a license to set up a stall or if it’s just a free for all. If you do need a license the local authorities are handing them out very liberally. It’s a real obstacle course - Stalls arranged haphazardly with no real schema to it, goods for sale just sort of dumped in the middle of the road

Communal area outside block of flats. There was a lively atmosphere, people talking and laughing and enjoying themselves - it would be wrong to say people seemed to be totally hemmed in by the environment, they were making the most of it and seemed content enough. Fountain on the bottom right apparently had been broken for a while

AFRICAN SOCIAL OBLIGATIONS Author Theodore Dalrymple, working in Rhodesia as a Doctor a few years before its fall, describes the African Conception of Social Obligations: “Unlike in South Africa, where salaries were paid according to a racial hierarchy, salaries in Rhodesia were equal for blacks and whites doing the same job, so that a black junior doctor received the same salary as mine. But there remained a vast gulf in our standards of living, the significance of which at first escaped me; but it was crucial in explaining the disasters that befell the newly independent countries that enjoyed what Byron called, and eagerly anticipated as, the first dance of freedom. The young black doctors who earned the same salary as we whites could not achieve the same standard of living for a very simple reason: they had an immense number of social obligations to fulfill. They were expected to provide for an ever expanding circle of family members (some of whom may have invested in their education) and people from their village, tribe, and province. An income that allowed a white to live like a lord because of a lack of such obligations scarcely raised a black above the level of his family. Mere equality of salary, therefore, was quite insufficient to procure for them the standard of living that they saw the whites had and that it was only human nature for them to desire—and believe themselves entitled to, on account of the superior talent that had allowed them to raise themselves above their fellows. In fact, a salary a thousand times as great would hardly have been sufficient to procure it: for their social obligations increased pari passu with their incomes. These obligations also explain the fact, often disdainfully remarked upon by former colonials, that when Africans moved into the beautiful and well-appointed villas of their former colonial masters, the houses swiftly degenerated into a species of superior, more spacious slum. Just as African doctors were perfectly equal to their medical tasks, technically speaking, so the degeneration of colonial villas had nothing to do with the intellectual inability of Africans to maintain them. Rather, the fortunate inheritor of such a villa was soon overwhelmed by relatives and others who had a social claim upon him. They brought even their goats with them; and one goat can undo in an afternoon what it has taken decades to establish. It is easy to see why a civil service, controlled and manned in its upper reaches by whites, could remain efficient and uncorrupt but could not long do so when manned by Africans who were supposed to follow the same rules and procedures. The same is true, of course, for every other administrative activity, public or private. The thick network of social obligations explains why, while it would have been out of the question to bribe most Rhodesian bureaucrats, yet in only a few years it would have been out of the question not to try to bribe most Zimbabwean ones, whose relatives would have condemned them for failing to obtain on their behalf all the advantages their official opportunities might provide. Thus do the very same tasks in the very same offices carried out by people of different cultural and social backgrounds result in very different outcomes. Viewed in this light, African nationalism was a struggle as much for power and privilege as it was for freedom, though it co-opted the language of freedom for obvious political advantage. Of course, the solidarity and inescapable social obligations that corrupted public and private administration in Africa also gave a unique charm and humanity to life there and served to protect people from the worst consequences of the misfortunes that buffeted them. There were always relatives whose unquestioned duty it was to help and protect them if they could, so that no one had to face the world entirely alone. Africans tend to find our lack of such obligations puzzling and unfeeling—and they are not entirely wrong”
