Where calling is a calling

摘要

THE TRICK to getting on Ugandan radio is to call early and often, says Rajabu Bukenya (pictured). A phone is tucked in his shirt pocket, its radio receiver tuned to a popular talk show. Eight others are balanced on his thighs, all dialling the station's number. Soon one connects and he gives his trademark introduction. "This is Rasta Man in Bwaise who eats once a day!" Hunched on a step, beside a wall scrawled with graffiti, he has all of Kampala as his audience.
