The 'Passion' of the Zezuru

Growing up in a small village in central Botswana back then, the grandest pieces of household furniture were wooden sideboards and wardrobes made by a Zezuru man, Rra Kurasha, a stocky man with a long beard and clean-shaven head.

He peddled furniture around in his old Peugeot van. The Peugeot would be stacked high with furniture, making it creak as it swayed from side to side as Kurasha slowly shifted the gears and drove around the village to collect arrears and sell more furniture.
