Elijah Masinde was a Bukusu activist and prophet who was born around 1910-1912 in Kimilili, Bungoma County. He was the founder of one of Kenya's most radical anti-colonial religious movements which, not only united various communities, but also shifted their mind-set against the colonial masters.
Masinde was a passionate footballer. He even played at the professional level. He represented Kenya at the CECAFA Cup in 1930. Some people claimed that there was a time he kicked the ball, which went up and never came back. His supporters believed the ball went to heaven.
