[Goanet] Goan tailors in East Africa

[Antonio Menezes]

The reason why Goan tailors in the then East Africa were not held in
high esteem  was because they had little or no knowledge of English
language.  They hailed mostly from Salcete which in the pre-WW 2
period  had . very few English schools. Comparatively other manual
workers like caterers, mechanics etc. in E.A. had what one may call
the advantage of knowing passable English.
