John took us to the local township called Kurland Village, we took lolly s for the children. For some reason all the kids call John Mr Kennedy, he thinks there is an American wrestler by that name, and because John has an Canadian accent the kids associate him, anyway as we were driving into the village and all the kids start shouting “Mr Kennedy have you got anything today”, he makes them line up and then we gave out the lolly's
The township has all dirt roads, it has an old section, it is rows of old corrugated iron, packing cases, cardboard etc knocked together to make shelters. The newer section is the houses that the government is building that are given to the Africans. The houses are all small, simple, single level rectangular houses on small plots, apparently the have a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living area, they are are painted pale colors such as mauve, green, etc., and many of the owners are extending them and have put up small fences. The township also has a school, church, a couple of makeshift bars, a washing block, toilet blocks, and a refuge for abused women. As townships go, this is not bad, I has seen a lot worse.
