Your newsagent is wearing a Yorkshire T-shirt â.. nothing too surprising, especially if you are in Leeds. But David Ujemba is an 18-year-old shop worker in Kampala, Uganda. He knows nothing about cricket and has no idea about Yorkshire.
Most Ugandans wear imported second-hand clothes â.. huge bales arrive daily from the UK, US and other developed countries and are known locally as â..mivumbaâ... David bought his T-shirt for 4,000 Ugandan shillings (£1.25). Although he knows little about its origins, David is proud of his Yorkshire connection as he goes about selling newspapers in a suburb close to Lake Victoria.
