The Kikoso and the bathroom - Sylvanus Mulowayi Wa Kayumba - Bog

It is difficult to explain the notion of "kikoso" which is an indigenous term for the outdoor shower in a collective dwelling. Often these types of conventional and traditional showers are made of sheets or fabrics or even raffia bags, without a door and without a roof but representing a safe place to allow all the families living in the common plot to wash up in the morning and the evening. A simple loincloth serves as a door and to check if someone has preceded you, just click both hands, one against the other!
