I loved interviewing this 80-year-old man,a traditional healer with six wives. He only spoke Sukuma, so every question involved a lengthy discussion and translation, first into Swahili, then English. When did you get married? How many children do you have? Each involved a spirited debate with the audience around us, and references to key events like who was president at the time to help jog his memory. When it got to grandchildren, everyone just laughed and gave up. Katy Migiro
