 NBPC: Africa: Open for Business
When I was a teacher in Uganda in the early 1970s, I would travel the 200-mile distance from Kampala, the capital, to Fort Portal near the Congolese border by bus, and then take a taxi for another 10 miles or so to the school.
The most direct route from Kampala to Fort Portal was via the town of Mubende, so I would take the Mubende bus early in the morning and hope to arrive in Fort Portal about six hours later.
Invariably, however, the overcrowded bus would break down and we would idle — men, women, children, live fowl, a goat or two, and produce — for hours beside the potholed, dusty red road until another bus came along, or the driver or a mechanic from the nearest village got the bus going again.
