No one can know how many tons were shifted by hand, first from the large ships to the smaller boats and lighters, then onto the beach, then up the sand to the town, all by the men and women of Zanzibar.
Hakuna hata mmoja anaweza jua tani ngapi zilihamishwa kwa mikono, kwanza kutoka katika meli kubwa kwenda kwenye boti ndogo na mitumbwi, kisha ufukweni, halafu juu mchangani kuelekea mjini, yote hayo kwa nguvu za wanaume na wanawake wa Zanzibar.
