Kenya’s Boldest Voice

Years back, way before Tunoi allegedly grew a cool Ksh 200m richer, we had the ‘face me by force’ matatus. There was no specification on the number of passengers they could carry. It depended on the size of the passengers and how far back the vehicle could lean without pulling off a ‘wheelie’. I tend to think the kondas preferred lean people, because you could stack them like wood.
Those pieces of work (the mats) encouraged conversations between travelers since you would be seated facing each other. If you were Team Mafisi back then, hitting gold was easy- slip a few ndururus to the conductor to be placed across from the beauty who just had a swim in Lake Vaseline.
