  A GOAN TAILOR IN MWANZA (who was this wonderful man, his name, his family etc?) In Mwanza, a town in Tanzania, there was a Goan tailor, Mr Alfonso. He made all the clothes for the Indians and white Europeans, all of whom were from England. Mr Alfonso also employed an African tailor to make clothes for his African customers. Mr Alfonso had a large house, the front of which was converted into his tailor’s shop. In the right-hand corner was his sewing machine (probably a Singer sewing machine), which he operated by a foot pedal, pretty common around Africa in those days. All the Indians and Europeans (white people anyway) went to the front of the shop to get their clothes made, such as a pair of shorts, trousers, a suit, or a jacket.

  From Mervyn Maciel: Those of you who lived in Nairobi (especially those who lived in Eastleigh, Pangani) may well remember the late Dr. A. Haq who owned the popular Radiant Health Clinic in Nairobi. Well, yesterday, his son, Dr. Abid Haq visited me from Seattle. He had bought a copy of my first book (Bwana Karani) at an exorbitant price and having read that my wife and infant invalid son had been flown out from Marsabit  late one evening and ‘accudentally’ ended up at his Dad’s clinic, he was very keen to meet me; and meet we did at my manyatta in Surrey yesterday. It was a very cordial meeting of just over two hours. I wanted him to stay longer but he was due to meet another old friend that afternoon. We covered a lot of ground at that meeting and I hope it will not be the last time I see this wonderful man. The photo below shows us both together!
