Kivulu City

Ladies and gentlemen, it has now come to light that our Kivulu Buddy Group has “upgraded” their neighbourhood from a slum to a full-fledged City — or at least that’s what the big green sign boldly claims. Naturally, we are giving Kivulu full credit for this miraculous overnight promotion, because who wouldn’t want to take ownership of a whole metropolis they definitely did not build?

So now the friendly competition begins. Kikoni Buddy Group… your move. Nsooba… time to step up. Kalerwe… we see you lurking. If Kivulu can “become a City” just by having a sign, surely the rest of you can at least advance to a Municipality, a Town Council, or — at minimum — a Trading Centre with a confidently written signboard.

At this pace, don’t be surprised if we start addressing each other as Lord Mayor in our meetings — strictly honorary, of course!
