NABALANGA, Uganda (AP) — His father died when he was a little boy, his mother when he was a young man. His grandparents, save but one, never made it to old age either. His wife is gone now, too, in the ground with four of their children, so forgive Yafesi Nakyanga’s surprise that he is still breathing.
Long past an age when the farmer could make out a visitor’s face, much less still bend in the fields, Nakyanga is still living at 86, part of a swell of the old in the land of the young.
