Excerpt: Fridays, however were different, because, apart from the kiosks, which closed in the afternoons, other vendors came out around four, and set up their baskets or platters on the footpaths along the shops, and especially close to the Aga Khan School, in the main street. The Mwanza Ismaili community, who had a large population in East Africa, administered the school. His Highness the Aga Khan is their spiritual leader and they had a system of schools all over the country. As they did not have a separate Jamat Khana, a community hall, where to gather for Friday prayers, they used the school hall. It was here the vendors spread out their stuff and did a brisk trade in all kinds of home cooked foods.
They sold roasted peanuts, chickpeas, as well as roasted dry peas.
