Signs of the times

We don't have a long drive to the embassy, but we pass these signs daily, twice.


































I hope you will understand what Shuga dadi means, the message is clear.

As well as the Bralirwa brewery we now also have a celebration of Primus being 50 years young. We like the GUMA GUMA. I asked my colleguea and he laughed. Guma guma is an encouragement typically shouted by women at for example weddings to make the men drink. It signifies being strong, manly and all other positive things linked to being able to drink beer. It is not the equivilant to 'cheers' and therefore not very helpful for day to day life - but we still like saying it.
