Kintampo scenes

If there is an image of Africa it is the red earth. Aside from the main roads around Kintampo, the roads are unpaved. Driving towards villages in taxis and trotros you become covered in red dust. If it is raining, you may become mired in red mud.
Football is immensely popular and played everywhere, by children and young men. Most do not have football boots, and play in bare feet or flip-flops, 'Charlie wote' as they are called. Some do manage to get a pair of battered football boots or trainers from the second-hand shoe stalls at the market or by the side of the road. I saw one man playing with one foot bare, and his striking foot in a trainer, evidently only one was fit for wear.
