Wonderful examples of ingenuity on the streets of Kinshasa are homemade carts with sturdy vehicle tires and push/pull bars at the front and back. In these are transported across the city a wide range of items and containers. These carts are handled by one or two men, or a group of young boys--often they are barefooted.
In addition to these examples we also observed loads of rebar, furniture, car parts, scrap metal, cardboard cases of soda pop, bags of vegetables, cases of fruit, stoves and road sand.
Only one's imagination and determination limit the loads they carry.
