Kenyan Musician Takes Campaign To Tanzania To Save Albinos

Tanzania has been in the spotlight lately following the killings of people with albinism in the country, thanks to the superstition playing ground in Kikwete’s territory that some body parts from the albinos are capable of healing and bringing fortunes to users.

Tanzania has tried to protect albinos, with culprits who were found to kill albinos in 2008 handed a death sentence by a Tanzanian court early last week.

The government of Tanzania has also banned all witchdoctors who are believed to demand the body parts of the albinos.

And now Kenyan veteran singer Nonini has made a move to help Tanzania protect albinos against perverts who kill them for superstitious reasons.

Speaking to the Pulse, Nonini says that he intends to take his ColourKwaFace Campaign to Tanzania in a bid to educate the public on the need to stop killing albinos.

Nonini’s campaign aims at enabling people with albinism get access to sunscreen products.
