Exploring Inequality in Nairobi's Communities

Look at this nice neighborhood. This is a suburb right out of

Nairobi, yeah, called Parkland. Nothing but Indians

live in this section, and they will not rent to

Africans. Look how nice it is. Middle class,

suburbia. Now let's take a trip to where the

largest slum is in, in Africa, which

happens to be in Nairobi. This is Kibra.

I hope I pronounced it right, but this is home to over

1.1 million Kenyans that's living in

poverty. Look, a- as far as the eye can see,

you see nothing but poverty. And check this out.

This is one of their clinics. This is a clinic.

Y'all see this? This is a clinic. Like, it's like a shack or

something less than a shack. This is how the Africans

are living in Kenya. One point... Over one point something

million African Kenyans, while the Indians, they just

living it up, bro.

It's a sad day to be Kenyan in, in Kenya.

And what's devastating about all this is that Kenya had

its independence for 61 years,

and this, a- and y'all haven't addressed this problem?

It- nothing changed in 61 years?

Wow

The first time I interacted with an Indian was in South Africa. Isn't that crazy?

I'd stayed in my country for over 10 years, and I had never interacted with an

Indian. In my country, we have Indians. We have Kenyan Indians, okay?

I was very impressed, and I came to SA, and I realized that South Africans also

have Indian South African Indians or...

And I can tell you that I know so many Kenyans who have never

interacted with

Kenyan Indians. And it's not like there's any specific

reason as to why that has

not happened. I don't know. There's just no reason, but I guess it's,

I guess it's

just a way of life in different countries.

But I have never, ever interacted with Indians in my

country.

I came to interact with Indians in South Africa, and that's when I learned so much

about the Indian community. I used to like Indian food back at home,

but I

came to eat more Indian foods in South Africa.
