- [Tourist] There are the chains.
- [Tour Guide] Yeah, they are big chains.
Be on the hand and also on the feet.
This is for feet and this is for hand.
(chains rattle)
(eerie music)
- [Tourist] We real, real quick.
(giggling) So, we're going to the Former Slave Market.
- Yeah, this is-- - Stone Town.
What's your name?
- My name is (speaks in foreign language)
(speaks in foreign language)
Yeah.
(speaks in foreign language)
- Is that right?
- Castro.
- Can I call you, oh Castro.
Can I just call you Castro?
- Yes, good.
- Just Castro, Castro.
- Castro is--
- Nice to meet you, Castro.
- Nice to meet you, Mitch.
- Okay man, Brad, Brad.
- Brad.
- Right, nice to meet you Bright, Mr. Bright.
- Brad.
- Brad.
- Yeah, brad.
- Oh wow.
- All right.
- So now we are going to start our tour.
Here is slave chamber.
- The slave chamber, yes.
- This where the slaves were being kept in this slave trade.
- Right.
- So all there (mumbles)
- Yep.
- So this the place where they used to keep a slave,
to keep the slave, right.
This area, this room's where more than 50,
so after renovation or after closing this area
we used on the slave market side,
the missionary, they saw a tiny chamber
and they lived on these two for memory sake.
- Mmhmm, okay.
- So in here, this is for men, and that is for female.
- Okay, yep.
- In here they use to keep not more than 50 men.
- 50?
- 50.
- 50?
- 50, five, zero.
- Wow, that's crazy.
- So they stay here for two up to four days,
waiting for the market day, that were
being enacted twicing a week.
- To the rest of the world.
- Yeah.
- So they would get led out twice a week.
- Yeah, when they sent them from (mumbles),
they have to keep them here before selling them.
The market would open twice a week in a week.
For instance, if they came here maybe today,
which is Thursday, and the market member
will conduct open in Saturday or Sunday or Monday,
they'd have to wait until the day.
- I see, to get released.
- They may bring chain in their hands, and the feet.
Food, they were given food once per day,
no enough water, and also they didn't give them
permission to go outside for urinating or defecating.
They do all activities in this part.
So this and this side, and they sit here and urinate here.
There was poor ventilation as you can see,
that was the regional window for that here.
And this window were expanded to our ventilation,
during the (mumbles) activities.
There was no light like this one,
it was so dark, although this area was so high
sun beats it so high, better nowadays
because of the first this area to the existing market,
the British missionaries, they construct, they check
the hospital on the top of this chambers.
So that's why they destroy those other chambers
and they left only these two
to be a memory for slave chamber.
Also, they no give enough food, no water,
no permission to go outside urinating,
or give them any bucket.
Or to all they been changed.
So most of them died suffocation, of hunger, thirsty,
disease like diarrhoea, cholera and other so ones.
- Wow, that's crazy.
So they weren't allowed to go,
some of the guys that weren't allowed
to go to the bathroom that had to, on the floor here.
- Yes, so here (mumbles)
This is the place, is the place
where the was the main entrance.
So after enter they put them inside,
they take all of them inside, they put a guard here
to take care of all slaves.
And this was the way to go to another chamber
that's here along there nowadays.
That's where the (mumbles) by the missionaries.
- Oh my God, this is hectic, this is hectic.
And there, the chains.
(mumbles)
- On the hand, and on the feet.
This is for feet and this is for hand.
(chain clinks)
- Wow.
This, wow, can't believe it mean.
- Can't believe it, this is nice thing
these English people do (mumbles).
- And the only windows they had were those three,
or just like the middle one.
- [Castro] Only the window on original.
These other two are (mumbles).
- [Brad] How did they breathe in here?
- [Castro] Ventilation was very very poor.
- This man, Castro, has done a really good job
of explaining the history, the history
- Of a former slave market
- The slave market's is basically, real quick,
the slaves, African slaves were kept
in those chambers over there and about twice a week,
they were released--
- Over here.
- Brought them over here, this church was not there,
this was a market.
They were brought here to be sold to the Arabs.
- [Castro] The same can though to be,
this was the same kind of tee where
those slaves were being tied.
- Tied and then whipped and then ,
the ones that cried were the weak ones,
they were sold cheaper.
The ones that didn't cry were the stronger ones,
they were sold more expensive.
And then, but that was for the Arabs,
the Arabs would buy
- The men tall, they were tall,
those women they owned they mate them unwillingly.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Wow, okay, thanks Castro.
- Thank you, mister.
- I really appreciate it, man.
- You're most welcome once again.
- So if you come here to Zanzibar
and check out the former slave trade,
look out for this face.

State University of Zanzibar and also,
I'm working as a run tour guide
