		The technique varies slightly - the mbege of Kilimanjaro involves actually cooking the bananas, and relies more on grain than does the tonto or mwenge of Uganda - but all basically involve squashing bananas to extract the juice.
		In the past bananas would normally have been peeled when ripened, and this is still done with mbege; but bananas for tonto are now generally not peeled, and are trodden with the feet, rather than being squeezed by hand.
		The mixture of banana juice and grain is left to ferment, either in a gourd or in a wooden trough.

		Kgosi Tumelo Seboko presided over a case in which Lesetedinyana Lesetedi had filed an appeal arguing that his cousin Tshepo Mbege Mosieyane, 25, was not entitled to any inheritance from the late Bafi Mbege’s estate because he was an illegitimate son from a relationship between the deceased and Mosetsanagape Mosienyane.
		Mbege died in 2004 and his son could not attend his funeral as he could not afford to buy an air ticket from America to Botswana.
		Kgosi Seboko said it was disappointing for Lesetedi and his relatives who claim to have loved their uncle to come and claim that Mbege died without a child.

		Mbege is sometimes available in Moshi or other towns but even locals report having stomach problems with 'old' mbege (which is transported in from the countryside) and say it's much better to drink from a fresh village batch.

		She examines how schools can reinforce the dominant social order through national curricula based on principles of Education for Self Reliance, demonstrating how the agriculture and home economics curricula reinforce traditional power relationships, gender roles, and connections to the state.

		Located right on the boundary of the Mt. Kilimanjaro National Park, this primary school is one of the few lucky enough to have enough space for a decent sized football field which at 1,800m the tropical weather generated by Kilimanjaro's own micro-climate and seasonal rains mean the field is covered in grass.
		However, typical of Africa, the children have to share their pitch with two cows - the ultimate skill is to nutmeg one in the midst of a game - and a hut selling the local brew 'mbege' or banana beer on the sidelines.
