"I still remember the day he was born (November 15, 1931). It was early in the morning before the sun rose. Our mother had woken up early to milk the cows but she could not finish. She went into labour and the boy was born.

"Our mother would go to the shamba and leave me to take care of the two boys. One was slightly older than the other and they were troublesome," she narrated.
"My work was to roast mitahato (bananas) and feed them. I would chew the bananas until they were soft then feed them," she stated.
