The Japanese manufacturer of this car may not imagine that the boot can pack in a few passengers. These cars ply the route between Butiama and Kiabakari.

I was riding in the car of Hon. Nimrod Mkono, our member of
parliament, at Butiama on our way to the Butiama Hospital to wait for
the arrival of the First Lady, Mama Salma Kikwete, when bystanders,
having seen the MP, waived the driver to stop.
Hon. Mkono told his driver to stop the car and said, tongue-in-cheek, "It is an election year, the voters are the
waheshimiwa [the honourables]. He mockingly gave each of them a
shikamoo, a greeting normally given by a young person to an older person and we left.

With the First Lady's entourage was a friend of mine and press photographer,
John Lukuwi. I first knew him as an employee of the Department of
Information and had asked him to develop a copy of a photograph taken at one of
Mbilia Bel and Tabu Ley's concerts in Dar es Salaam. When I
told him I intended to ask Mbilia to autograph her photograph for me, Lukuwi
made an extra copy that I carried to the old Kilimanjaro Hotel, knocked at
her hotel room which was opened by Tabu Ley and I had the photos
autographed by her.
