Lubumbashi Street Cafe

At that time (1973), Lubumbashi was one of the major cities outside of Kinshasa. Things were a little run-down but it was a chance to experience something different. This area of Zaire contains the country's major mineral deposits so it was always a very contentious issue as to who was exerting control here. There was a foreign exchange rule that visitors had to spend at least 20 Zaires/day ($40 US) because of their need for hard cash, and that was a lot of money for a poor Volunteer! Photo of a sidewalk cafe in Lubumbashi during that particular trip.
