KILELESWHA

By
Im sitting in the middle of bags. Mostly empty. They should be full. I should have packed by now. Yeah yeah, what's new?
This is my last night in my apartment in Kileleshwa. This is a leafy suburb in  Nairobi. (the capital city of Kenya) (In East Afrcia) (East of AFrica)
Decided to write some sort of tribute or whatever to this place lest I forget where I started out. This was my first place as a wannabe adult going to work and all that. Unforch Im moving because it was too far from my work and I had become those lifeless people who spends 30% of their day starring out of a bus in a traffic jam. It was hurting my brain looking at what every single female is wearing and playing fashion police..or playing the game 'would I marry him if he had a really nice personality'.. So by the time I got to work..I was exhausted, every day.





 So, got a place nearer work. Its called Ngumo..Its right next door Kibera. Maybe my dream of becoming a famous photo journalist can be realized here. I can take pictures of the people throwing flying toilets. Yes, u heard me.
Flying Toilets.


So, lets talk about Kile. It sounds nice to people who don't live here. In reality its a cold, lifeless community. If you dont drive a bimma, range or merc..who are u exactly? There are millions of beautiful apartments rented out by people who think this is the life. If u cant borrow sugar from your neighbour- u are not living the life! Period. What Im trying to say, is that the people are unfriendly.

Secondly, back to the bimma thing. If you dont drive a car you will spend most of your time on the Westlands highway. Granted the matatu's to Kile are very entertaining..Classic in the morning and the semi-cute conductors sometimes forgiving u for not having 1sh, it is still a hassle. Only move to Kile if you have a car.

Also Kasuku Centre is a poor excuse for 'shops'. There's no Nakumatt or Tuskies..or any known supermarket. The kiosk on Tabere Crescent has more things than that expensivve thing they call a supermarket. And a salon which charges 500bob for eyebrows..hayi hayi hayi.

Random cute guy run-in on a walk = 0%
(they are all in the bimma, ranges and mercs)

So my advice to young hopefuls in Nairobi, do not move into Kile hoping your life will miraculously transform. Yes, so there's a swimming pool at most apartment buildings and the whole green leafy beauty blah...but your money will run out faster, you will meet a lot of posers, and be splashed with water by bimmas, ranges and mercs.

Saving Mandy

When you have influence, it is your duty to stand up for others and help others up too We had so much in common.  We were both born and grew up in the same sleepy hometown of Bulawayo, almost same neighborhood. We attended the same high school, some years apart, but both proud and loud Convent girls. At some point, we must have taken the same Parklands surburb bus from City Hall to home. Our siblings almost same age-groups; our families and friends intertwined all the way back to roots in Dombodema rural home. We both went on to study medicine, she did dentistry, I did MBChB. But eventually we both did a masters in Public Health in the same programme at the University of Zimbabwe. We both got married and set up home in Harare. Bulawayo girls stick together when they arrive in the big bad city. When I had Anashe, she had Siyabonga. We were both pregnant in 2018. Being senior medical professionals we both had access to the “best” medical care. We both had Cesarian Sections...

What My Aunt's Death Left Behind

By
This weekend we buried uNaTatji.  She was one of those women whose presence quietly held a family together. Gentle, yet strong. Cheerful. Curious. Loving. She felt like home. She was an anchor. As we gathered under the bright blue Thekwane sky and stood around her grave, it felt like more than one person was being buried. It was as though we were grieving all our parents... those who have already gone before us, and those who are still here but have reached the age we quietly fear. Something shifts when the generation above you begins to leave. You realise that the foundation you have always stood on will not always be there. You realise that you are becoming the adults. One of the hardest parts of the weekend was watching the mantle being passed. We, the children, suddenly found ourselves organising, coordinating, making decisions, carrying responsibilities that had always belonged to our parents and aunties and uncles. Thankfully, the older generation was still there, gent...

Waiting for Healing: The Quiet Crisis at Parirenyatwa Radiotherapy Centre

By
Every morning, before Harare has woken up, there is already a line forming. Not a short or orderly queue that moves with predictable rhythm. No, a long, patient, aching line of people who have nowhere else to go. I drop off my relative there each weekday at the Radiotherapy Centre at Parirenyatwa Hospital. He is battling a brain tumor. That alone is a heavy sentence to carry. But it is not the only burden he carries. Because before treatment comes waiting. And before waiting comes arriving early enough to have a chance. The Queue That Starts at Midnight There are two queues. One for those who can pay or who have been marked as priority. And one for everyone else. Both queues are unpredictable. You can wait for hours on any unsuspecting day. By midnight, people are already gathering. They sit or lie down holding their place in a tent outside the centre. Names are written down and some have made a business of queueing for others. Many have travelled from outside the capital city. Fro...
