Guka's radio — the first on the ridge — and the nights the whole hillside sat outside the house to listen.
The story
“He bought it in 1963, the year of independence, so he could hear it happen. After that, every evening, people came up the path and sat in the yard while he turned it up. The whole ridge came to hear the news on Guka's radio.”
How it came down to us
Njeri was a small girl in the yard. She told it at Guka's memorial, and her son Brian wrote it down.
