The Sanitary Complex
U-turn Journal #7

We considered replacing our Great Pride, the "Muzungu toilet", carefully moulded to the standards of muzungu anthropology (remember? Doutzen Kroes sat on it!), because flaws amply discussed elsewhere (details). Could we overdo that great achievement? We show you now the heroic attempt we made, building a brand new mahogany structure properly named "The Sanitary Complex"

Mahogany, bought before we cut Mukusu trees at Sese.

Our Sanitary Complex after two layers of linseed oil

The switch (left background) switches a 12V bilge pump pumping the tub out.

No more African sanitary surprises, as we know the real muzungu does not want any.
But our shower system is the exception. We consider allowing, in extreme cases, paying guests to
go for a shower armed with two full 5 l bottles of choice temperature.

That little yellow glue stick top has a small hole pierced in it and is mounted on a tube.
(Henceforth, the glue stick has to satisfy itself with a DuctTape cover)
The pink switch launches a pump which powerfully cleans the muzungu arsehole (wherever needed).

P.S. 1. We estimate that the 985 dollar investment in our path braking Sanitary Complex has raised the value of our dhow with $50,000/=. But wait till we carved some crocodiles in it!

P.S. 2. Of course I personally do not use this ridiculous equipment. A. Out of respect for the users, and care for their health and safety. B. Because I swim and shit in the harbour (do not move in the water after shitting, it comes after you!).
