This sign, photographed in 1970, shows that at least until that time, occasional uses of Arabic script to spell Swahili words could still be found on public signs. ASP stands for Afro-Shirazi Party, the ruling political party at the time. "Hapana nyama" means "There is no meat", a sign of the difficult economic times under the socialist regime ruling the island during the years following the 1964 revolution. The door is the entrance to the meat market. November 1970.
