My day yesterday 31st August, 2024 started with the sweet voices of South African high school students who did a great job on a song called "Uzozisola". It's actually an old song, but these students revived it with their unique creativity.
I also tasted a strange fruit which I haven't seen before. I don't even know the english name. How did I get here...? And why did I have to taste that..? Let me tell you...
My sound system was on a timer. I usually set it to turn on and start playing at 5 am. This helps me wake up on time.... Some days I stay up overnight...(I know it's crazy 😉). But yesterday, I woke up a little earlier than that and I played that song on repeat. I'll talk about the meaning of that song someday in the future. But the vibes it was giving was just so real that morning.

Most of my clothes no longer fit me..., looks like I have added some weight and I need to visit the gym 😀.
I went out to buy some fabric yesterday morning to give to my tailor to sew.
I'm not a flashy guy who likes excessive fashion, but I like getting quality clothes that will last me a very long time, it could be expensive though, but what I am really interested is the durability and quality.
While I was there, I saw my textile vendor eating a strange fruit.
It had some hairy things on its skin. I asked her what it was called, but she said she didn't know the English name.
However, in my local language, it's called 'Mfid nsen.' I was curious to taste it, so she gave me some. And I tried it. It was sweet

I tried searching for the name using Google Image Search. Unfortunately, I got a bit confused because I saw many fruits that looked similar, but their leaves didn't match the fruit I was searching for, so I couldn't find it.
Are there any pomologists or botanists on this blog...? Maybe you can help identify this fruit.
I learnt it helps in heart cleansing. Well, that's not scientifically proven..., but traditionally, people use it for that. I also heard it works.
I hope to get more details about this fruit soon.
Returning home, I met these guys below 😀. This is part of the culture & tradition in Africa. In my local language we call it "ekeong". This is a masquerade.
I think they were also have some good time yesterday 😀.
Feel free to mention the name of this fruit below...
