- Self - Narrator: After a few years of service, dressed like barbarians in the centers of civilization, these fantastic rickshaw boys can usually make enough money to acquire a new modern wardrobe, return to their native kraals, purchase a few wives to work for them, and in the fairy book fashion, live happily forever after. Perhaps they're not nearly as foolish as they look. And it is here that we most reluctantly say farewell to Pretoria and Durban, wonder cities of South Africa.
