At the coast, the Chonyi don't let the dead sleep

“You will hardly ever find educated Chonyis investing back home as they fear this tradition"

Among the Chonyi sub-tribe of the coastal Mijikenda, an exclusive tribe of wazee commonly referred to as Watu wa Mvua (the rain people) are notorious for a type of witchcraft that has made the community the most dreaded in the region.

“They exhume and eat the flesh of the dead,” says Patrick who narrated this odd practice to The Nairobian.
