“Jana nilikuwa kazi ya mjengo alafu huyo mzee akatupea hiyo kaluvu. Ilipofika saa kumi na moja ndiyo maneno ikawa mbaya, tukaanza kukimbizwa hospitalini. Tuliyefanya kazi naye alienda kuketi chini ya mti akaanza kuniambia anahisi joto sana,” one of the sruvivors recounts. “Nilichukua maji nikamumwagia kichwani.
