SIGN, SIGN, EVERYWHERE A SIGN

nov09-Tsholot carepts 001Here are some signs that you won’t find anywhere else in the world
except in AFRICA. I have seen a few of these. This list is from a friend in Uganda.

In a restaurant in Zambia:
“Open seven days a week and weekends.”

On the grounds of a private school in South Africa:
“No trespassing without permission.”

On a window of a Nigerian shop:
“Why go elsewhere to be cheated when you can come here?.”

On a poster in Ghana:
“Are you an adult who cannot read? If so, we can help.”

In a hotel in Mozambique:
“Visitors are expected to complain at the office between the hours of
9.00 am and 11.00am daily.”

On a river in the Democratic Republic of Congo:
“Take note: When this sign is submerged, the river is impassable.”

In a Zimbabwean restaurant:
“Customers who find our waitresses rude ought to see the manager.”

A sign seen on a hand dryer in a Lesotho public toilet:
“Risk of electric shock-Do not activate with wet hands.”

In a Botswana jewellery shop:
“Ears pierced while you wait.”

On one of the buildings of a Sierra Leone hospital:
“Mental Health Prevention Centre.”

In a maternity ward of a clinic in Tanzania:
“No children allowed!”

In a cemetery in Uganda:
“Persons are prohibited from picking flowers from any but their own graves.

In a Malawi hotel:
“It is forbidden to steal towels please. If you are not a person to do
such a thing, please don’t read this notice.”

A sign posted in an Algerian tourist camping park:
“It is strictly forbidden on our camping site that people of different
sex, for instance a man and woman, live together in one tent unless
they are married to each other for that purpose.”

In a Namibian nightclub:
“Ladies are not allowed to have children in the bar.”

And the prize goes to…

On the walls of a ‘butchery’ (a shack with a bloodshot, sweaty, short
Kikuyu with an axe) in Kawangware, SW of Nairobi, Kenya.

“We sell all meats…….goat meat, sheep meat, fish meat, chicken meat, beef
meat….”

oh no Mike, The award goes to the one I was with Nombty and Dumi on the way to the christmas party last year.
A work truck was driving in front of us and the slogan was
Swazi roof builders: Our erections last longer.
