“Wee Jisaidie Nasaidia Huyu Mzungu” Former Nation F.M Presenter Complains Of Racial Discrimination In Popular Supermarket

Of late there have been many cases of alleged discrimination against black people and some of them have really gone viral and have caused uproar and has led to some people losing their jobs. The most famous case was the one where Ruto’s Pilot pushed a policeman and the one where one of Domino’s big bosses was caught on camera cussing out his employees for being sloppy in their jobs.

Now Former nation F.M presenter Chito Ndlovu has come out complaining of racial discrimination, this time done by a fellow African.

Read his story below:

” Today I faced my first ever form of racial discrimination in Kenya at a super market the one that claims to be all Kenyan all the time yes that one…
So here I am ready to get my products priced, I notice a beautiful white lady behind me with her colored aka point 5 kids who keep jumping all over making joyful noise, I carry on with my business give my shopping to this amazing young lady at the till her name is Mary she was amazing, very polite and efficient.

After I pay for my shopping I quickly started sorting out my change, at that moment I noticed there wasn’t any person to help put the stuff in the plastic bags but heck, sometimes they ain’t there and I can do it by myself but this is what grossed the African in me, I had barely even picked a plastic bag when this young man comes over and starts packing the white ladies shopping and my shopping was way more than hers there is no way he couldn’t notice it and so I look at him and tell him politely, “this lady and I aren’t together”, because I assumed he thought she was my wife, and he looks at me and says “wee jisaidie nasaidia huyu muzungu” the Kenyan/Zambian/Zimbabwean in me just entered in Freedom fighter mode…..(For those who don’t know, I was raised in Capetown,South Africa at one point in my life and I attended a school where we were only 2 black kids and 2 colored kids in the entire school and even then I remember my encounter with racism, one Boer kid called Christopher asked me how my dad could afford a better car than his dad and my dad is black(I won’t tell you the make you might think I am bragging), I just remember thinking my dad pays the same fees as your dad whats wrong with you and yes I whooped the kid for saying that..

Now back to today when I heard that statement I immediately called his manager to express my dissatisfaction and asked if this is how they treat their customers? also because I am of color does it mean I wont get good service?..Mary (remember the till attendant) came over and told her manager she recognized my voice from radio at that point you should have seen the look on the managers face it changed faster than Duale against Waiguru, he immediately started apologizing, he has even offered me a 20K shopping voucher just to say sorry for the unfortunate incident I accepted his apology but I am thinking of whom to give the shopping voucher to.

My issue is do we really look down on our own skin color we treat each other badly because we are of color…That’s sheer nonsense we are all equal you can’t treat me less….”
