Wangu Wa Makeri the first female chief in colonial Kenya.
Meria, I usually take any oral story passed down after the mzungu came in with a lot of suspicion. Hii story ya Wangu wa Makeri has too many versions and all of them make her look like the heroine for rebelling against Kikuyu culture. I feel it’s like they’re intentionally divisive. Furthermore, any chief that was appointed by the colonial administration was not really a traditional chief any more IMO. I prefer to look for old old Kuyo men for these stories. One finds that even the context of what was going on is usually heavily misinterpreted.
Same with Shaka’s story.
