I've landed on these photos of these gentlemen who happen to be players of SC Villa a big Football Club in Uganda. To cut the story short, this was during their gym time. It is sad that they are using such equipment.😔

We need a gym. Not packing concrete in tins to work as weights. It's not healthy for the boys,
