Moving From the Country to the City

"I'd never seen a building with tiles. I'd been living in a village in a round hut"

"I'd never seen a building with tiles. I'd been living in a village at home in a round hut with a thatched roof."

Walter Mbauya moved from the Zimbabwean countryside to the city when he was eight years old. He travelled from his home village to Harare in 1939 and he thought he was just going there for a holiday - 60 years later he's still there, but dreams of returning to his village to retire.
