Ali Manzu life story

Before coming to Nairobi in 2003, Ali Manzu had been warned to be very careful in ‘that city’. His mother cautioned him about talking to strangers.

On the day of the journey, she packed him potato chips and eggs in a lunch box and told him with so much love in her eyes: “I can’t give you any money my son; that’s all I have.”

“I remember sitting in the bus at Mtito Andei enjoying my home cooked food as the rest, probably Nairobians traveling from Mombasa, stepped out to eat at the restaurants.” Manzu narrates.

On arrival, he was shocked by the speed at which people were moving. Everyone seemed so busy. But that was nothing compared to watching a woman being mugged while everyone went on with their business. Not even her cry for help seemed to awaken the human nature in these living beings moving around.

Ali Manzu says there was this annoying habit where he had to queue for a matatu. He had never seen that in Mombasa. The preachers in River Road did not make life any easier for me. It was like a competition on who would shout the loudest. There was more madness near Globe Roundabout.

City council askaris and hawkers engaged in running battles. At first it was the City Council chasing the hawkers who would in return chase them with stones, which he found quite hilarious.

One day he decided to visit a friend from K-South music group. However, his grandmother would not let him claiming that K-South was too risky for him. She told him that Kariobangi South was the most dangerous area in Nairobi and that he would get mugged and undressed if he went there. He never visited Kariobangi South until he graduated into a ‘real’ Nairobian!
