A city businessman had to contend with public stares after buying a female mannequin.
Dave Kibe had bought the dummy for his boutique in Embakasi. He was received by suspicious looks from commuters as he boarded a bus at a Commercial stage.
“I persevered the stares but the worst happened when touts teased me, asking me to pay fare for my ‘wife,” he told The Nairobian.
“Sometimes I find them deflated, so I take them to the nearby station to be filled. Other people mistake female ones for sex toys.” This comes after a shop owner at Westgate said that soldiers had sprayed her mannequins with bullets during the terror attack, probably mistaking it for ‘the white widow’.
