South Africa is another strong possibility. The Methodist Church of Southern Africa is widespread, and the red uniform is common there as well. The residential setting, with a simple house, a yard, and a maize patch ('mealies'), is characteristic of many townships and suburban areas around Johannesburg, such as Soweto. As a major economic hub, Johannesburg has numerous large multi-story parking garages associated with shopping malls, offices, and airports where someone might work wearing a high-visibility vest. The combination of township-style living and formal urban employment is very typical for the region.

Zambia presents a plausible alternative. The climate is suitable for growing maize, which is a staple crop. The use of large water tanks for residential water storage is also common in Lusaka's residential areas (compounds). As the capital and largest city, Lusaka has modern infrastructure, including multi-story parking garages at shopping centers like Manda Hill or EastPark Mall. The church uniform, while most iconic in Zimbabwe and South Africa, is also found in related Methodist congregations in Zambia. The general visual evidence is consistent with a life split between a residential compound and a job in the city center of Lusaka.
