It has never been a 'HAPPY JAMHURI DAY' for this family.In an attempt to wipe their name off history books the family of the man who took over from the late Dedan Kimathi and drove Kenya to independence in 1963 is in agony.

Kenya's Biggest Betrayal | Tuko TV - His second born son has survived three murder attempts, seen his first wife killed through poisoning and witnessed his elder brother suffocated to death. This is all because of a gift from Kenya's first president, land.

This is the story of Field Marshall Baimungi!He was killed in cold blood by officials of the very government he served diligently. Kenya’s first Minister of Lands as well as powerful Meru politicians are accused of being behind the troubles bedeviling Baimungi’s family.Their father is among scores of Kenyan freedom fighters whose stories remain untold, those who trooped into the forests to fight for their country only to lose their land, future and lives.

President Uhuru Kenyatta during his visit to the family a few years back, promised Baimungi's family he would deliver what his father Mzee Jomo Kenyatta had promised them. The wait is still on.

Africa’s colonial overlords brutally stripped it of countless cultural treasures. Now, the fate of these items is being hotly debated in Europe and Africa as well. Some say the pieces should be returned, while others have reservations.European museums proudly present art and cultural artifacts from all over the world. But until recently, many of them have never considered their own complicity in the brutal ways in which the pieces were acquired. Only slowly are they starting to include the people to whose ancestors these artifacts once belonged in their decisions, although European colonial overlords pillaged and looted them in the first place.The issue of restitution is taking on a new urgency in Germany, last but not least because of the controversy surrounding Berlin's Humboldt Forum, which is home to non-European collections. It's estimated that more than 1.5 million artifacts from all around the world are held in storage at Germany's ethnological museums. The Linden Museum in Stuttgart alone holds 60 thousand pieces from Africa. How many of them were stolen? And how do museums address the fact that their colonialist collectors had blood on their hands? This documentary takes an African perspective on some examples, including valuable bronzes from Nigeria, an ornamental prow of a boat from Cameroon, and what is known as the Witbooi Bible from Namibia. What do the people in the African countries where the pieces originated think about all this? What are the views of researchers, museum directors, artists and curators? What emotions arise when the frequently painful past is stirred up and examined? And how significant is the issue in the context of problems such as poverty, hunger and corruption in former colonies?

We are happy to welcome Bevin Magama to 'Africanus Talks' to discuss his passion for professional storytelling and writing. Bevin travels extensively around the UK and internationally conducting themed storytelling workshops alongside his own live performances. In both schools and workplaces, Bevin's wealth of knowledge about 'Storytelling' as more than just an art form, but a cultural backbone much needed within Africanus communities is exhaustive. Bevins skills allow him to use storytelling to challenge bullying in workplaces, conflict resolution, while still creating a safe environment renowned for being fun, building confidence, improving literacy and oracy in schools. We hope you enjoy this introspective interview from our brother Bevin Magama!
