Additional Road Hazards

I mentioned previously how what we might call a hazard, Malawians just call the road.  There are other a few driving hazards other than the actual road itself.  The Malawians call them Mbuzi, Ng'ombe, and Nkhuku.  We usually call them goats, cows, and chicken, but on a few occasions we've referred to them as "Watch Out", "Slow Down", and "Did you just hit something?".  Whatever they are called at a given time, they are everywhere and completely unrestrained.  Going to Mangochi, Kateri took out two guinea fowl at once, and on the same trip the Sister's car was temporarly detained by a herd of cattle that decided the other side of the street was a little bit greener.  The minibus trips are usually accompanied by a fairly consistent  honking of the horn or swerving when goats just don't feel like moving out of the way.
