It is nice to see the different spellings and terms used for sandals; “Chale Wote” and “Togota” are the terms I grew up with for those rubber/foam slippers.
Although I am of Nzema descent, we’ve always used “Mpaboa” to refer to any enclosed shoe or sandals.
I’m now in the states and this site helps me keep up on my Ghanaian vernacular!??
Hi kofi Kofi), we are happy to be of help. Thank you.
