MATOPENI

"Welcome to matopeni
where hope of the people
is found in the mud
here, we raise happiness
above the misfortunes of life
knowing that one does not need
a brick house to be happy
and that he should never give up
when stuck in the mud
but to stay real, true to ones self
as he pursues his dream"..
(Mutinda)

'Even as you pursue a better life, you can still afford to smile while being in "matopeni"..' (Mutinda) "Matopeni" is a Swahili-word literally meaning: "In the Mud". Yet it also refers to the typical African grass-thatched mud hut..
So no matter what Mud you are experiencing in your life today.. -Remember to smile :)
