This is a story that takes place at the (Mbare)flats where a lot of people from different places stay. This is the story of their lives, their culture, how they hustle for money; this story is fun, saddening, and makes people look hard on who they have become. This is the story for us blacks, the story of city life, and the story of how our culture has changed.
