'Amabwera kuno amaganiza kuti "ndikhoza kukhala chilichonse chomwe ndikufuna kukhala" ndipo ndi momwe amachitira'

Ndi Loweruka usiku pa imodzi mwa makalabu otsogola kwambiri ku Nairobi. Zakumwa zikuyenda, nyimbo zapanyumba zikumveka ndipo maanja akupera pabwalo lovina kapena akucheza ku bar. Ena akupatirana pampando wokhala panja.

Koma awa si achinyamata omwe amapita kuphwando komwe amasangalala - ambiri mwa mabanja omwe ali Loweruka usiku uno, makamaka Loweruka lililonse usiku, amakhala ndi amuna achikulire achizungu, makamaka alendo ndi mabizinesi, komanso atsikana otentha aku Kenya.

Chochitikacho chikuwoneka ngati china chochokera mu kanema wanyimbo. Ena mwa amunawa ali ndi dazi, ena ali ndi tsitsi la Donald Trump, akuvina ngati agogo akuvutika kuti apeze kugunda. Magalasi ambiri a Bill Gates ndi makoti amasewera abulauni ndi akuda okhala ndi T-shirts pansi.

Ndipo atsikana? Wamtali, wowonda, wakuda ndi zovala zowoneka bwino komanso akumwetulira.

Bambo wina akuwoneka kuti ali ndi zaka pafupifupi 60, ali ndi mutu wadazi, m'mimba ndipo T-sheti yake yakuda atalowetsedwa mu thalauza lalitali. Anafika kwa mtsikana wa ku Kenya yemwe amaoneka ngati wazaka pafupifupi 25. Ndi wamtali, atavala ka diresi kakang'ono kakang'ono kakuda ndi zidendene zomwe zimapangitsa kuti miyendo yake iwoneke ngati ikupita kutali.

"Kodi ndingakugulireni chakumwa?" Adafunsa ndi mawu olemera achijeremani. Anayankha monyengerera kuti, “Inde. Mumachokera kuti?"

Posakhalitsa akucheza pa bar, ndipo dzanja lake likugwedezeka kuchokera kumbuyo kupita kumbuyo, mkono wake uli m'chiuno mwake. Amamugogoda kumbuyo mpaka kugunda kwa Britney Spears' "Ndipatseni Zambiri," amanong'oneza m'khutu lake ndipo mphindi zochepa pambuyo pake amatuluka mu kalabu, pamodzi.

Mayi wina wa ku Kenya amene waimirira pafupi nawo akupukusa mutu n’kunena kwa bwenzi lake kuti, “Langa,” mawu otanthauza “hule” m’Chiswahili, chinenero cha dziko la Kenya.

Mtsikana wovala chovalacho mwina sanali hule, koma mwayi ndi wakuti anali. Chimodzi mwa "zabwino" zobwera ku Kenya monga alendo ochokera Kumadzulo ndi kupezeka kosavuta kwa mahule.

Mbiri ya 'Kugonana Kosavuta'

Uhule ndiwosaloledwa mwaukadaulo ku Kenya, koma akuluakulu aboma ndi eni malo ochitirako hotelo amayang'ana njira ina. Nthawi zambiri imatengedwa ngati gawo la zochitika za alendo - ndipo mazana a madola mamiliyoni aku Kenya amabweretsa chifukwa cha zokopa alendo.

Koma si nyama zakuthengo ndi magombe okha a m’dzikoli amene amakoka anthu mamiliyoni ambiri chaka chilichonse.

"Kenya ili ndi mbiri yogonana mosavuta," atero a Caroline Naruk, 29, woyang'anira akaunti pakampani yotsatsa ku Kenya.

Nthawi zonse mahule sakhala “oyenda m’misewu” anu. Zambiri zitha kupezeka pazida zomwe zimatengedwa kuti ndi zapamwamba.

"Ena mwa amayiwa amagwira ntchito, azimayi apakati," adatero Naruk. Iwo amati, ‘Madzulo ndidzavala bwino, kuchezerana ndi mlendo wodzaona malo, kugonana, kupeza ndalama ndi kupitiriza ndi moyo.”

Uhule Waku Kenya Wolakwika Kwa Anthu Akumaloko

Vuto, akutero Akenya ambiri, ndilakuti “makonzedwe” amenewa ayamba kusokoneza anthu onse. Naruk ndi wamtali, wowonda, wodabwitsa mtsikana - ndipo akunena kuti nthawi zonse amazunzidwa ndi alendo akumadzulo ndi amalonda.

Iye anati: “Ndimakhumudwa kwambiri. “Zafika poti ndikamapita kokayenda, ndimangokhalira kudandaula za mmene ndingavalire kuti ndioneke wosiyana ndi ena.”

Wangosiya kumene kupita kumalo ena ake. Koma amavutitsidwanso kuntchito kwake. Munthu wina wa kumadzulo m’tauni chifukwa cha bizinesi, amene akuti anali ndi zaka pafupifupi 50 zakubadwa, anatenga nambala yake kwa woyang’anira wake nayamba kumuimbira foni mosalekeza, kuyesa kum’nyengerera kuti apite kuchipinda chake.

Iye anati: “Inali vuto lalikulu. “Alendo ambiri odzaona malo ndi amalonda amene amabwera kuno ali ndi ndalama zambiri, ndipo akabwera kuno amaganiza kuti ‘ndikhoza kukhala chilichonse chimene ndikufuna,’ ndipo ndi mmene amachitira.”

Uhule Umasintha Kudyera Ana

Kugonana pofuna kulipira kuli kofala kwambiri ku Nairobi, m’mphepete mwa nyanja ku Kenya, makamaka m’matauni atchuthi a Mombasa ndi Malindi, moti ludzu la uhule lachititsa kuti ana azidyera masuku pamutu ambiri. Kenya tsopano imadziwika kuti ndi imodzi mwamalo padziko lonse lapansi okonda kukopa ana ogonana.

Mu 2006, bungwe la UNICEF linatulutsa lipoti lonena za kuzembetsa ana ku Kenya ndipo linasonyeza kuti atsikana pafupifupi 30 pa 12 alionse azaka zapakati pa XNUMX amakhala m’mphepete mwa nyanja ankagonana mwachisawawa pofuna kupeza ndalama.

Ndipo ndi alendo akumadzulo omwe akuyendetsa malondawo, malinga ndi malipoti. Amuna ochokera ku Ulaya amapanga oposa theka la makasitomala.

Lipotilo linati: “Alendo amene amadyera masuku pamutu ana ndiwo ali pachiwopsezo chachikulu cha ziphuphu zimene anthu ambiri a m’deralo amachitira. "Ndikofunikira kuti akuluakulu omwe adachita zachiwembu osati ozunzidwawo aziyimbidwa milanduyi."

Ku Mombasa, anyamata achichepere aku Kenya, otchedwa “anyamata a m’mphepete mwa nyanja,” amadziwika kuti amakwatirana ndi akazi achikulire achizungu, nthawi zambiri alendo odzaona malo a Kumadzulo amene amapitako kuti akagone. Mofanana ndi akazi anzawo, anyamata ameneŵa amapatsidwa ndalama ndi kutchuka kokhala “chibwenzi” cha mlendo wolemera wa Kumadzulo.

Mahule aku Kenya Akuyembekeza Kupulumutsidwa

Koma zenizeni zomwe makonzedwewa akutanthauza kwa atsikana ndi abambo aku Kenya nthawi zambiri amakhala osiyana kwambiri ndi zongopeka zomwe akugulitsa. Ena sali mahule enieni, koma anyamata ndi atsikana osauka omwe amakhulupirira kuti “msilikali woyera” wolemera adzabwera kudzawapulumutsa ndi kuwapatsa moyo wapamwamba wa Kumadzulo.

Ngakhale pali nkhani ya apo ndi apo ya banja lomwe limakhala paubwenzi wachikondi, wanthawi yayitali, mbali zambiri, ndi waku Kenya yemwe pamapeto pake amavutika. Kenya idakali gulu losamala, lachipembedzo, ndipo amuna ndi akazi omwe amalowa mu "ubwenzi" ndi alendo nthawi zambiri amasalidwa.

"Kwa alendo, alibe nazo ntchito," adatero Naruk. “Maganizo ake ndi akuti: 'Ndikhoza kugonana nawe, ndikhoza kukupatsirani pakati, ndikhoza kukupatsirani kachilombo ka HIV ndikupitiriza moyo wanga. Bola ndikupatsa ndalama, zili bwino.’”

Iye akufotokoza nkhani ya mnzanga wina yemwe ali ndi zaka 23 anachita bizinesi ndi mwamuna wina wazaka 45 wa ku Britain ku Kenya. Anamupatsa vinyo ndi kumudya, ndipo bizinesi yake itatha anabwerera ku United Kingdom, kumusiya ali ndi pakati. Naruk akuti bwenzi lake silinawone mwamunayo kwa zaka zambiri. Kukumanako kunawononga moyo wa mkaziyo.

“Anayenera kusiya koleji, ntchito yake ndi kubwerera kwawo ndi amayi ake,” anatero Naruk. "Sanachire, ndipo mwana wake sadzawadziwa bambo ake."

Ndipo ngakhale anthu aku Kenya ambiri amavomereza kuti palibe amene amakakamiza atsikana ndi anyamatawa kuti azichita zinthu ndi alendo odzaona malo a Kumadzulo, sakusangalala ndi mbiri ya kugonana kosavuta komwe dzikoli limakhala nalo - ndipo amaimba mlandu chifukwa cha khalidwe la "chiwerewere" la alendo omwe akubwera. Pano.

"Zili ngati, chifukwa ndinu mzungu ndipo muli ndi ndalama mutha kuthana ndi zonsezi, ndipo zili bwino," adatero Naruk. "Koma sichoncho."
