Apparently friendly assistance changed to extortion, Lake Victoria, Kampala, Uganda

During our test of the spray bars at the shore of the Lake Victoria in Kampala, Uganda, the apparently friendly assistance changed to extortion. The guy with the shovel was influenced by somebody else who asked for each shovel of sand suddenly about US $12. That was surprising. We have got more problems after this video and it was solved soon. Our security policewoman was guarding us and there was no problem at all.
