Description
The discussion features memories from Shelina and Mehboob Allibhai, siblings who lived in Uganda before their expulsion in 1972 under Idi Amin's regime. They share detailed recollections of their early childhood experiences, schooling, and family life in Kampala and the village of Kikwanda. Shelina mentions her challenging experience of staying with an aunt for education, while Mehboob recalls various childhood escapades, including a harrowing robbery at their family shop.
Their anecdotes reveal a loving, disciplined household with a strong emphasis on education and community. They also recount moving to the UK amidst the chaos of their expulsion, arriving with little more than the clothes on their backs. Transitioning to life in Wales, they discuss their initial struggles and the role of community support in their integration.
