-AGE 65 years.
+Laljibhai Rawji (75) of Mbale narrates the history of our community at Mbale, Uganda. He recalls the arrival at Mbale of entrepreneur Waljibhai Bhanji in 1906. At that time, there were 16 Indian shops including the famous Alidina Visram. Houses were made of mud and iron sheets. On arrival, Waljibhai applied to the District Commissioner Perryman for a plot to construct a house. Upon approval a mud house was built and this was used to start a wholesale business. Waljibhai used to trade with Mombasa in crop produce.  Remtullabhai Rawji was his  manager.
-JAMAT services for 31 years.

-Mbale 21 And Leicester 10 years
+There were 4-5 Ithnaasheri shops at Mbale. There also lived an Iranian called Mohamed baqir who was a hunter and a trader in ivory. He also dealt with crop produce. He built two rooms in the compound of his mud house to be used as Imambara where majlis would be held. As our population in Mbale and surrounding areas kept on increasing this facility became inadequate. The DC was requested to provide plot for Imambara. Two plots were provided and as a result of cooperation from members, an Imambara was built in 1925. Br Mohamedbaqir passed away the same year. In 1926, a building was constructed next to Imambara to give out on rent so that Imambara expenses would be met from the new building.

+Laljibhai vividly recalls an incident in 1914. Laljibhai was travelling from Jinja to Mbale in a cart.  The cart was being pulled by four men. Two wild buffaloes suddenly appeared and the four men ran away leaving Laljibhai alone. Fortunately at the same time some wild animals were howling in the nearby valley. Their noise terrified the buffaloes who went away. Laljibhai started pushing the cart by himself and the four men re-appeared and they continued the journey. The other prominent method of transport during this period was ‘machera” where people would be carried by others in a litter. The DCs used this method of transport to move from one place to another.

+Br Mohamedali Remtulla Rawji (50) speaking from his hospital bed related an incident in 1915 at Masaba Hill near the town’s water supply point. Some tribesmen had come to attack the towns people at night. Mr. Mangal was the DC at the time. The inspector was an Ithnaasheri, Br. Hassanali Manji. They did not have any junior officers (askari). The DC called Remtulla Rawji and Mohamedbaqir who owned a shotgun. The four of them were able to repel the attack by the tribesmen.
