Still his private garbage-collection suit- Mr. James Weah in front of his house in West Point Township two hours after the “day’s hustle”
From Monday to Saturday, Mr. James Weah (age 86 in 2021) leaves his one bed room zinc house in the predominantly slum West Point Township from 6am every day to tour the Central Business District of Liberia’s Capital, Monrovia. His collection tools are a large blue polythene bags, hidden in an old leather bag when he’s leaving home. His traditional ‘work uniform’ is a blue face-cap, old shirt (upper part of a private Security Firm he had done night-security work with when he was doing day-time work for MCC), and old shoes. When walking, he hops due to partial paralysis of one of his legs.

In the police cell at the National Police Headquarters, the atmosphere was tense and there was chaos all over the place with notorious criminals fighting among themselves for supremacy of who becomes the prison commander. I must admit that none of them touched me and the full respect was accorded me. Those guys even got me to another angle from the feces of maggots crawling on me. The area of the police cell I was placed in was in the toilet room where maggots and roaches have taken over the place and that was deliberate psychological or mental torture. Again, the masses knew their leader and I was relocated after hours of having those maggots walked on me.
