Radio Jambo presenter Anita Raey recounts being a ‘chokara’
Radio Jambo presenter Anita Raey has come a long way from being a street urchin to the top presenter she is now. The journey has been tough and engulfed with a lot of emotions.
Recently, she opened up about the journey giving a very emotional story of how she landed in the streets.
“I was so rebellious because I was raised by a very harsh mother. I started running away from home at a very tender age of 13 years and started living in the streets. I lived in the streets of Nairobi with the worst people in the society. Those were my friends. They used to treat me like I am the baby in their crew. You are the one who carried the drugs for them,” she said.
Adding:
“Then one day I was coming in with one of them, so we are at Moi Avenue, then someone hit me from the back, nkafikiri ni mwizi and I was like, anataka nini. I fell down and became unconscious. I did not have money but anyway I had drugs with me. They dragged us towards Jevanjee. They were two guys and both were from my tribe, I understood all what they were planning for me. So they raped me and that was the worst thing in my life. I was so scared and I did not have the energy to fight back.”
