Social media recently came to a standstill when a photo began trending of Kenya’s women volleyball team, Malkia Strikers, hugging after a beach volleyball game. In the series of photos, the Strikers are seen in various poses donning their sports kits: black biker-shorts, some with bikini bottoms and sports bras.
Many Kenyans on social media critiqued the photos: while some felt that the uniforms were ‘exposing too much’, others held the opinion that the attire was ‘sexy and perfect for the beach’.
