| Gully .. Cassava Piece |
Mavado's "gullyside" Cassava Piece in St. Andrew was described in a recent news report as scavengers paradise. The Gully that Mavado sings so often about where he was raised and still visits very often is a tributary to the Kingston Harbour. Kingston harbour is being described as the second largest dump in the Corporate area and the garbage comes through Cassava Piece gully... the gleaner report indicated that...
The harbour, lined with garbage, is home to items such as plastic bottles (which top the list), old appliances, tyres, plastic bags and raw sewage mixed with a high stench. Many would wonder where the garbage comes from, so I decided to rove the Corporate Area gullies. The first stop was the Cassava Piece gully, the one dancehall deejay Mavado sings about. Mavado was not in sight, but the garbage that residents of the area dump inside the gully should make him sing another tune.
