Rongai workshop leyland beaver truck. This transport company has been in operation for around 70years which i think may be the oldest in Kenya. I sometimes wonder how they survived all this long using very old ex-military WW2 trucks.

but they are slow. That time manufacturers thought they were supposed to make vehicles to last for a life time. some world war one trucks are still operational . That was before planned obsolescence and consumerism took over.

Hizi ni zile zilikuwa zinachukua siku nzima kupanda mlima No. 10 (Those who live in Msa can relate).
Uzuri ni magari hazikuwa mob (KBS na Nyayo Bus pekee) so jam was not an issue.
