After women, fear mechanics😂

Wamaku's wife left two weeks ago to her home in Tanga. This was after a physical exchange with one of the foreman's many girlfriends. I use the phrase 'physical exchange' to make it appear two sided but really, the wife gave the girlfriend a beating of a lifetime. It was like using her as an example. That whoever messes with her man would get a share of that. But do Tanzanian women scare easily? No.
One of the foreman's city girlfriends heard of the incident- you know how fast word spreads in the 255. She called the man who used it as an opportunity to get pity and convince her to come over to Morogoro and see him. Getting laid would be the icing on the cake. Plus, now that the troublesome wife was not any close, chances of drama were very minimal. She promised to visit him the following week. Afterall, he was to hire her a car. A daladala wasn't an option for this kind of woman- classy, rich-sh and a social-media addict who had somehow convinced her 1000 followers that she was not a normal 'dem wa mtaa' but rather an actual rich girl. She wasn't. One of the tipper drivers recognized the lady on one of her Wamaku-time Morogoro trips. He said she hailed from their village somewhere in Kilimanjaro and he said that Daresalaam had a way of 'spoiling' ladies.
"This time I will stick to one woman," Wamaku often said after one of the confrontations occured. His kijiweni friends often laughed at his decisions and somewhat redemtion moments because they knew he wouldnt change for anyone. And if he did, it would be for his wife who comes from Tanga where everyone knows all the good witch doctors originate from. 
On her way to Morogoro, Wamaku's girlfriend encountered a car problem. The hired Toyota Ist developed a mechanical problem just a few kilometres after Mlandizi. Like any woman would do, she called Wamaku who, after shouting at her for refusing to tag along a driver, tried to find a solution. "Mlandizi is urban enough, I bet we can get a mechanic there", he thought. The woman however didn't appreciate Wamaku's "I told you so" and she decided to take matters into her own hands. She asked a bodaboda passing by to find her a mechanic before dusk. Long story short, Wamaku has been working full days on weeknds and four more hours on weekdays to pay for a car he had hired for a woman who he didn't even get to see in the long run let alone get laid. The woman in Tanga might have found the right mganga don't you think?

Wamaku on the Beach: The foreman's Vacation

You know those construction workers who are ever obsessed with their work and making them use their leave days is like punishing them? Yeah, Wamaku is one of them. He says he doesn't need the days and that if he needs to see his family, mamaa  and the kids will always come over. The project manager however decided that this year people will be working shifts during the Christmas holiday unike last year when every section worked in full. So Wamaku had to leave someone else in charge for the first two weeks of December and work the last two. It was either one or the other and he had to pick the days with the most overtime. Brilliant, right? Anyway, from the pictures on his statuses, he has been enjoying Mbezi beach. Although he takes the kind of photos that only 50+ year olds take. Or -4 year olds. Wait, now that I think about it, my 3 year old cousin takes better pictures. In his pictures, it looks he is trying to look like he is not taking the pictures while taking the pictures so

The foreman's predicament; A story of attempted infidelity and getting caught

Wamaku came to work with strange spots on his face and part of his neck. He was also in a  very bad mood. Anyone who knows him knows that if someone "steps in his way" on such a day, they will go home. Literally. His form of punishment for a long time has been sending people on unpaid leave. Anyone who has worked in construction for a while knows that is better than being fired. He is a thoughtful man, some say.  Source: Nation media Word on the street is that Wamaku's wife found messages of him and the new earthworks intern, Julia. He came home drunk and got out his phone to inform her that he had arrived. They had been together that evening and as they parted ways, she had told him to text him when he gets home safe- what he was doing.  His wife had heard someone stumble over the kid's toys in the verandah and she had woken up to go see. It was her lovely husband coming back from a drinking spree. He was a little tipsy and he was trying to text someone. She walked t

Lessons from the Mjengo to embrace in 2024: Happy New Year

  Working in the construction field AKA mjengo is like attending the world's most practical school of life lessons. First and foremost, it teaches the undeniable power of teamwork. Trying to build something substantial without a crew is like attempting to juggle bricks—it might work for a second, but eventually, you'll need a hand. As we dive into 2024, we must keep embracing the spirit of teamwork and togetherness. Construction sites are like giant, real-life LEGO projects where everyone has a specific role, from the architect who dreams up the design to the kagirl who cleans offices and fetches tea but somehow becomes the motivational cornerstone of the team. You quickly learn that collaboration isn't just a buzzword; it's the glue holding those bricks (and your sanity) together. Moreover, construction work is a masterclass in adaptability and creative problem-solving. You start your day with a blueprint, a plan etched in stone (well, paper), but the moment you step
