A Black Politician decided to chase up his dream of going back to Africa to find his Roots and turns up in a small village.
( It just can't be a brown, white, or yellow, or even polka dot, politician, the story just wouldn't work.)
Everyone is there from miles around and he gives the obligatory speech about his ancestry.
Then declares that he is going to bring water to the village for them; ?Magambo? came back the reply.
?I will have a school build for your children and supply a teacher?. Again, ?Magambo?.
?I will put in a generator and supply fuel for it so you can have Electricity.? ?Magambo?.
?There will also be a couple of tractors for you to plough the fields.? ?Magambo?.
When he had finished they all stood up, bowed and clapped politely. He then had a look around the village with its round thatched huts, empty grain store on stilts and not much else.
?I notice there is some kind of temple on the top of the hill over there. What is that all about, it seems very grand for this area??
?Oh? said the chief. ?That is the temple of the sacred Bulls; we used to worship them before the Missionary?s converted us to Christianity.?
?Any chance of having a look at it?? Asked The Politician.
?I wouldn?t.? Replied the chief.
" Why not? Asked The Politician.
?It has been neglected for years,
Replied the chief.
and stinks of Magambo.?
