Twitter has a segment for trends. When something trends that’s to rings a bell in your mind that something is happening somewhere.
Zimbabwe has been popping on all notification bars. Zimbabwe’s unemployed youths have been trading their toes for money. A normal human being has ten toes. Five toes on each leg. The smaller toe on the further end of the leg is going for 2million Kenyan shilling if you are willing to let it get cut off.
The bigger toe or one can call it the thumb is going for 4million Kenyan shilling if you allow getting it cut off your leg. Where the toes are being sold is one of the biggest worries.
Earlier this week, 6 Kenyans were arraigned in Zimbabwe court for having entered Zimbabwe illegally. Zimbabwe’s government is now set to deport the 6 Kenyans back to Kenya. They are claimed to have entered Zimbabwe through South Africa.
What could be the reason for them getting to Zimbabwe illegally? Zimbabwe citizens have been seen raising concerns over the rise in economic levels that are making them opt to sell their toes by letting them get cut.
Could Kenyans be fleeing to Zimbabwe to get their toes cut because of money? Is our economy level as a country reason enough to make Kenyans fly to Zimbabwe for the cheaper cash?
Kenyan citizens have been reacting to the same. Some are ready to buy the plastic fake legs, some are having the option of moving in cars after getting their toes chopped since they will now have money.
The youth should be provided with a platform and a chance for employees to reduce the number of such cases and risks they are putting themselves through for money.
