Africa-Press<\/a> – Zambia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>DEDAN KIMATHI ROAD IN LUSAKA\u2026.THE STORY BEHIND THAT NAME \u2026\u2026In Zambia there is a road named after a Kenyan Mau mauu leader and freedom fighter This is his story.<\/p>\n

Rewards totalling \u00a3500 for the capture of Dedan K\u012bmathi, were distributed at a ceremony at Nyeri today, (5 November 1956) by the Special Commissioner for the Kikuyu, Embu and Meru, Mr. C.M. Johnston.<\/p>\n

The reward in the form of Post Office savings books was divided between the nine members of the patrol, which captured Kimathi, six members receiving \u00a325 each. Tribal policeman Ndirang\u016b Mau, who shot and wounded K\u012bmathi received \u00a3150 and Nj\u016bgi Ngatia who was present and assisted Ndirang\u016b throughout the operation, \u00a375. Kar\u016bndo wa M\u016bgo the leader of the operation patrol, who took charge was presented with \u00a350. The remaining \u00a375 was donated for a bean feast for all tribal police and tribal police reservists in Northern Tet\u016b Location<\/p>\n

Speaking in [Ki]Swahili to 300 tribal policemen, who marched into position in front of the provincial office with their own fife drums and bungle band, the Special Commissioner said that since the day Dedan K\u012bmathi had ran away into the forest until the day he was captured, four years had elapsed and those years had been a great loss and trouble to the Kikuyu people.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 Today we swear that we shall not allow the Mau Mau any form of action and will not let them come back into the country. We shall try again to regain the good name of Central Province through progress and civilisation,\u201d Mr. Johnston added. The story of what happened to those rewarded by the British is retold over and over in pubs, markets and schools in Nyeri.<\/p>\n

The joy of the reward recipients was short-lived. Their neighbours and indeed many of the people they interacted with shunned them. Even small children insulted them publicly. Ndirang\u016b Mau who was originally from Kamakwa in Nyeri, decided to invest his \u00a3150 to buy a minibus. He planned to use it as a public service vehicle to transport people for payment.<\/p>\n

At night people would use stones to scratch the body of the bus with the words m\u016bthirimo wa K\u012bmathi, K\u012bmathi\u2019s shin, drawing reference to the part of the body that K\u012bmathi had apparently been shot. He would repaint it but people would scratch it afresh until its bodywork was a mass of writings all of which read, m\u016bthirimo wa K\u012bmathi.<\/p>\n

Nobody, except his family ever boarded that bus. A driver would take it to the bus park but it would remain empty all day. Touts at the bus park would shout to anyone trying to enter it, tonya \u016brathwo, meaning, enter the bus and get shot. He tried to sell off the bus but nobody wanted to buy it and it aged and rusted from non-use. He invested in a truck. It met the same fate. He decided to use the remainder of the money to open a restaurant. Again, people began painting the famous words on the wall of his restaurant, m\u016bthirimo wa K\u012bmathi. Nobody entered that restaurant, not even his fellow home guards.<\/p>\n

Ndirang\u016b in desperation at the stigmatisation changed his name so that strangers would not recognise him, to no avail. He was shunned and pointed out as a traitor for the rest of his life. After independence, Ndirang\u016b was always on radio asking the government to help him. The rest of the team that had received \u00a325 each invested jointly and bought a lorry.<\/p>\n

The lorry met the same fate as Ndirang\u016b\u2019s bus with people quick to scratch m\u016bthirimo wa K\u012bmathi into its body. They too could not find work and neither could they find a buyer for their lorry. Their children and grandchildren are ostracised till today. To date, when drunken people pass outside the homes of the people who were paid by the British colonialists for shooting K\u012bmathi, they always shout: \u201cM\u016btikire twambe t\u016bhet\u016bke g\u016bk\u016b kwa ngati,\u201d keep quiet until we pass the home guards\u2019 homes. The drunkards will walk past quietly and restart their drunken racket as soon as they pass the home guard\u2019s home.<\/p>\n

There were several newspaper reports about Ndirang\u016b Mau the man who shot my husband. See this one for example. But Ndirang\u016b was no ordinary man. He was the man who on 21 October 1956 shot freedom fighter Dedan K\u012bmathi and his life changed forever. For close to 29 years, he had remained silent, living off his years under a cloud of resentment and shame that had also been transferred to his children.<\/p>\n

He had been shunned and pilloried by local villagers for shooting the man who held a special place in Kenya\u2019s history. His children had been treated as outcasts in school and his family had lived on a small piece of land under a cloud of suspicion and shame. (\u2026) During my visit, I spotted a dilapidated and abandoned truck in Ndirang\u016b\u2019s home.<\/p>\n

The truck was buried in a mound as it had not moved in decades. It was one of the many things he bought with the reward money but could not enjoy. The community turned on him with anger and resentment, treating him like Judas. His family bore the brunt of the society\u2019s rage. His children were treated as outcasts in school and physically bullied. Ndirang\u016b Mau died in 1986. Via Evelyn Kimathi<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
