1.    Here Tinotenda is eating some sweet potatoes from the same plate as his mother Tsitsi and Rudo.

2.    In shops or bottle stores people just share the same containers and share the same toilet.  The same applies at home.  Here Rutendo is selling in the bottle store full of scuds (plastic containers for traditional beer) and soft drinks.  Mr. Tsiga is sitting with his mug of chibuku (traditional opaque beer) and Tonderai is being given a bottle of a soft drink, after Tendai has tested whether it is cold or not.  Netsai is going to the toilet while Sekai is coming from the toilet.

This description was handwritten by the artist.  The original is tucked into a pocket at the back of the painting.    (28” x 35”)
