Date: circa December 1969
A secular masquerade (devil), Kongoli seemed to be a fun spirit, whose main purpose seemed to be for entertainment especially for the young. I took this photo at the Kenema Agricultural Festival - which took place each December in the government grounds there. There was one year when the festival was canceled due to a political uprising in the area. I do not remember whether this cancellation was in 1968 or 1969.
