This is Bakari Hamisi Mpili, the town keymaker of Kizwiani. The other day I went with Dickson to get some keys made in Kizwiani, the market area near Mbagala, and I met Mr. Mpili , who has had his shop there for 20 years and counting. He and his shop completely fascinated me, and he was kind enough to let me take some photos, which I now share with you.
