Jali

Here is another picture I took in Jali.



Most of the people hereabouts live in villages, and for them, Jali will be a reasonably-sized commercial centre which they might visit occasionally. The majority of people are extremely poor. For many, it is not a money economy, in that they really don't have any money most of the time, and they rely on their gardens for produce and food. That is why mvula (rain) is important.

There has been no more mvula, but hopefully it is on the way.

I may be flippant about needing rain for the cricket pitch, but for many here it is a much more important.

Mingin! I'm so glad the mvulvas are arriving. It certainly been wet enough here. Do they have any Malawian beauty pageants perchance? But the huts are good as well. Hotboy

Is this connected to the Seinfeld episode about mulva?
