One of the local score boards In Stone Town for all the football matches that captivates most of the world. Near Darajani vegetable, spice and food market.
Near the Seyyida hotel, in Stone Town. I love the contrast and the collision of the ancient and the contemporary art.
One of many black board notice boards throughout Stone Town, on which anyone can write anything (as long as it is not offensive). This notice reads: We do not want a Union; it is not serving us. (Tensions between the mainland and Zanzibar is rife - according to Zanzibaris, all that Zanzibar is - what she makes, such as spices, clove oil etc - is taken to the mainland, used there and exported from there and little of the profit makes its way back to Zanzibar). Covert political opposition in its prime! This board in in Jaws Corner, the liveliest of squares in Stone Town due to its bustling street side coffee bazara, its central location to watch football matches and also close to tour companies and internet cafes. The notices here get noticed.
