From Ghetto boy to Kasi man � that�s me China

When Zimbabwean music legend Oliver Mtukuzi sang “Ghetto Boy”, he must certainly have had me in mind because that’s exactly what I am -“Ghetto Boy.” I love the sound of it even better if the Ghetto refers to Francistown, especially my beloved location of Somerset’s Extension.

I have been rising every morning from a house in Gabs’s notoriously crime-ridden Bontleng location since October last year. Prior to that I was waking up in another SHHA house at the comparatively tranquil location of Extension.

Extension is in a southeasterly direction from the main mall. To get there you can use the longest tarred street through Somerset East, which starts just as you cross the road from the silver High Court Building.
