Local cinema owners in the coastal Kenyan city of Mombasa are testing their TV installations to make sure that their compatriots will follow the upcoming world cup due to start in a few days in South Africa.
Alex Wingi is one such owner in Bangale village. He says: ‘One thing is that my customers whom I have been showing the previous games are waiting to see if my new set ups will work. I hope they will.’
Alfred Sanga aged 22 is among those who are following on a daily basis whether Wingi's cinema set ups for the Dstv is functioning: ‘I am happy to watch the world cup through Dstv because we can not travel to South Africa’, he says.
