Into a zigzagging maze, the aisle shape-shifts
Rounding a bend, a voice sings morning greetings
Onto a pair of bright smiling eyes, another pair gazes
The one is spellbound, the other unknowable...
Sabastian Sawe has broken the men's marathon world record in London.
The Kenyan is the first person ever to run a marathon in under two hours in race conditions — his time was 1:59:30.
Yomif Kejelcha of Ethiopia, making his marathon debut, achieved the feat 11 seconds later — 1:59:41.
Fittingly, like London buses, you wait an eternity for one, then two come along at once 🚌
Remarkable.
Kenya's introducing camera-based speeding fines.
Sounds simple, right?
But when you factor in matatu culture, informal transport networks, economic pressures, and decades of roadside “chai”… traffic enforcement is a much bigger story.
I break it all down in this short post.
Jirani kalazimishwa
Kashikwa kinywa kwa fosi kapanuliwa
Pilipili kali katiliwa
Meza usiteme! Kashurutishwa
Hii ni halua meza, kimasomaso kahadaiwa
Mbona nisile nikitakacho?
Kwa nini nile uamuacho?
Jirani alia taabani kajipata
Machozi yamtiririka ja maji mferejini
This is last time am saying anything political. From today hamtaniskia nikiwasumbua tena. Let me keep quiet and watch on tv like other Kenyans. Because am almost going crazy out of being too concerned for people who don’t care about themselves. This is also your country. Do what you can do to save it.
Kenya is my second home.
My Ministry has immensely grown through the support of my kenyan Family.
I stand with you as we celebrate this great son of Africa @RailaOdinga .
I had to do this for Kenyans.
A tree has fallen. The rumble of its fall reverberates through all of Kenya and echoes throughout Africa! The crush of its fall has flattened hearts with heartbreak! An ancient tree is fallen!
