The monkey and the coat hangers! Sounds like the title of a very cheesy detective series doesn’t it? Or perhaps a pervy erotica story? These metallic creatures are sold by the robots all about Joburg. They’re basically rust held together by varnish and hope and bring much joy and tetanus to the folks who buy them.
The seller of these branched out recently and has started selling coloured coat hangers as well. I must say they look very pretty strung up together. At one point he used to put the coat hangers right in the middle of the pathway, but I used to just mow them down walking. The traffic there is just too thick to step into so as not to disturb the delicate balance of brightly coloured plastic wear!
p.s. Don’t you find the monkey creepy looking? Those empty eyes!! If I woke up and found one on top of me trying to suck my soul out I really wouldn’t be that surprised!!
