If you are lazily driving in the Nairobi gridlock and then this hawker suddenly emerges swinging his ware, a panga, you can easily release a few drops of liquid urea into your biker, thinking finally you’ve been cornered by Nairobi thugs, and you are about to be offered a free throat surgery.

Again, a thug on a mission can disguise as a hawker to conceal his activities, while still selecting his target. Pangas shouldn’t be hawked, at all.

To other related matters, Maasai hawkers always walk around armed with a panga. Have you ever seen any such moran fight anyone? They are very polite guys and rarely get into any altercation etc.

In fact, Maasai are the only cattle-loving pastoralists who don’t engage in banditry.

So if these guys never use these pangas, why carry them? Why forever walk armed with a weapon you’ve never used and will never use?

Great afternoon my fellow Hoof-Eaters!!
