Does anyone here know the reason that so many street names in Sunninghill, Johannesburg are of Kenyan towns, places and even people? They have Bogoria, Diani, Nanyuki, Naivasha, Kikuyu, Kilindini, Kisumu, Malindi, Nakuru, Mungai, Ngobit, Tana, Thika and more.

Once again a terribly dodgy character has been made the object of public sympathy. He will now milk this for all it is worth, even though he is as tainted as those harassing him. His tentacles stretch back to the 1990s when he was a bagman for another crook. And so it goes.
