A taxi driver in Eldoret who has worn dreadlocks for four decades says no amount of money can make him shave his hair.

The 54-year-old Fernziel Mwanga, who was born and raised in Turbo, Uasin Gishu says that his hair which has now grown to more than 1.5 metres is his pride even though dreadlocks have been associated with negativity.

Despite people who wear dreadlocks being stereotyped as criminals, Mwanga says his is an African hairstyle that everyone should be proud of it.
