Ghetto dances: I made the most of it like there was no tomorrow

Ghetto dances: The long walk back home and I bumped into Rasta

With Onie Ndoro I found Baba VaTata hovering by his gate. To say gate would be respectful. It was more like a soccer goalpost as all the wires and some angle bars were all missing. Because of that, it could not be a gate. Baba VaTata had witnessed everything. “Hehehe, my friend, I see you […]
