When you think of a successful politician, you see a potbelly.
FITTING IN: Potbellies have maintained the signature of wealth in Uganda. A rich man in this city must have a potbelly to prove it. And that is how I have suffered in this city as a slender handsome man. All my awesome facial features have been lost to the audience; they want the potbelly… It is on this note people that I have decided to seek for the sellers of potbellies.
The mafuta-mingi culture never left Kampala. You know, the image of a rich man in Kampala has always had a potbelly somewhere in the mix. In Uganda, wealth must be felt and seen, and it must be seen on someone’s body. We know you are doing well, when your body is bloating all out.
My late grandmother was never convinced that I was satisfied until she could touch and confirm that my belly had formed a balloon. That is why potbellies have maintained the signature of wealth in Uganda. A rich man in this city must have a potbelly to prove it. And that is how I have suffered in this city as a slender handsome man. All my awesome facial features have been lost to the audience; they want the potbelly. Mbu, apparently the potbelly also serves other functions, it can serve as a pillow, or even a play toy for the kids.
It is on this note people that I have decided to seek for the sellers of potbellies.
