Friday, June 13, 2025 - Yesterday, protests over the death of blogger Albert Ojwang while in police custody rocked Nairobi’s CBD, with Gen Z demonstrators demanding justice and the arrest of officers involved in his death.
Among the viral moments from the protest was a video showing
a white foreigner, commonly referred to as a mzungu, marching alongside
protesters despite heavy teargas in the air.
In the clip, demonstrators can be heard encouraging him to
chant “wantam” - a slang term urging Kenyans to vote out President William Ruto
in 2027, making him a one-term President.
The video has sparked heated reactions online, with many
saying it underscores the wide-reaching outrage Ojwang’s death has provoked,
even among non locals.
