Four days of boom for fishmongers of Lwang’ni

Strolling along the lonely edges of Lwang’ni Beach on Friday morning, Mr Dalmas Otieno makes a measured dash towards our crew, hoping to get some business for his Lakeside Adventure Tours – a boat riding venture.

A measured dash because in my village they say he who races against himself is as fast as a neutered dog. Otieno is the only boat operator on duty this early. And his dash is informed by a deep-seated bitterness. And for a good reason.
