STRONG directive? No; how about a STRONGLY WORDED directive?

We captured this one in Dar’s Kinondoni District. This signpost is meant to invite the public to bring for repair their electronic equipment. The mafundi (artisans) here are good at fixing, among other equipment, BLENDERS (not “brendas”). Trust signwriters! PHOTO | AMS
