- Christmas celebrations started early for the 1,670 stateless Shona people and 1,300 stateless people of Rwandan descent who were awarded Kenyan citizenship recently. The Shona people came to Kenya from Zimbabwe and settled in the country and were never recognized as citizens until recently. Take a look;

Weldone Kenya Zimbabwe loves you.
One Africa, one people , together we are stronger.Thanks to the government of Kenya for granting my fellow brothers and sisters in Kenya citizenship.
Zimbabwe to the world 🌎🌍.
Karibuni sana
No African person or person of African descent should ever be "stateless" in Africa...Periodt! These borders that we "confine" ourselves in are just pegs for marking territories put there by our colonizers when they were dividing the land of Africa among themselves ........ don't let them separate us and pull us apart! Let's learn to respect, accept and accommodate each other as Africans and as black people PLEASE! I hope our gvt leaders wake up to this fact!
I hope they enjoy there new life as Kenya citizens.
Great power of the almighty God demonstrated. Thanks Lord the wisdom you poured abundantly to your people in Kenya
Oh My Word!! The do not even sound Kenyan. The accent is more Zimbabwean than Kenyan. Well done to the Shona community for preserving their language for over 5 decades. Salute
It’s now diluted shona. It doesn’t even sound shona anymore
@@victoriayoung5263 really. Do you perhaps have a link where they're conversing
@@victoriayoung5263 That may be so, but the bigger picture is that they're no longer stateless and can now access all the services indigenous Kenyans can. Sometimes when these things happen, there's a small price to pay in terms of losing a little bit of your heritage. As a Kenyan, I'm very glad to officially have them as one of us and I do hope that there's an initiative among themselves, or between them and the government to officially document their journey so far.
Their english accent is actually sounding bery 100% Kenyan when I listen to them as a Zimbanwean Shona. I could not hear them speaking Shona here in this clip. Curious to hear them speaking in Shona.
One Africa. 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪❤🙏🙏🙏
We welcome you again .we love u too kenyans❤
Thank you God
The Shona Are Children of THE MOST HIGH AND if you bless them you WILL BE BE BLESSED.
Thank you Jesus!
I felt a lump in my throat on hearing Kenyan leader recognised Shona people as Kenyan citizens. In the past all we heard were nothing but atrocities of Africans towards each other in extreme cases even genocides. Now they have culture, wealth and dignity just like any othe developed country. The Chinese saying is when you have food and able to cloth yourself you will then understand fame and shame. 衣食足而知荣辱.
So does it mean that Shona is now an official language
The moment they were recognized as a Community in Kenya, by default, their language becomes one of Kenya's languages. That said, Shona and Swahili are very close, so its a language similar to many Kenyan Bantu languages. It fits easily.
Na Kenya kuna siasa nyingi, lakini karibuni sana.
Nosizi Dube is not shona ,the name and surname is zulu ,swazi, and ndebele, NOT shona.
My collegue is 100% shona and is dube. My totem is tembo andanother name for it is Dube and im shona, and some people of my totem use the totem to be their surname which is Dube
Why didn’t they return to Zimbabwe 🇿🇼.
Maybe they liked it here or they were just used to it and Zibambwe is not a walking distance.
Coz Africa is home.
your ancestors lived in in sudan before being in southern Africa why did they not stay there ?
This question is senseless. This is the like the 3rd generation and they were born in Kenya which legally qualifies them to be citizens, where would they to go after about 5 decades.
I didn’t hear one shona word they spoke! But they’re from the Mwazha Church I believe or Vapostori.
Ava vakazvarirwa kuKenya but their parents came from Zimbabwe just like the Malawian community in Zimbabwe they can speak Shona or Ndebele
They are speaking swahili if u know u know kiswahili as Kenyan language
@@blackjewbreedlove2638wahawa kazaliwa kenya.....sounds so similar even in language
With Uhuru Kenyatta we have had corruption but also more tribes have been acknowledged as Kenyans from Shona, Nubian, Bajuni, and Vumba community more than Jomo Kenyatta, Moi, and Kibaki my Tribe is Luhya from western Kenya.
Bajun are kenyan citizens by everything. They are not immigrants. They are cross breed at the coast
@@eddyrandu3127 I know they are but they were not acknowledged until last year.
Ridiculous. They are living there since the sixties and had no papers. Can't even open a bank account?
Yes but they could have been killed too by a wrong Kenyan leader.
@@gunsumwong3948 What are you even talking about. Kenyan has the largest number of Africans from other countries, mostly refugees from Somalia, South Sudan, Congo, Burundi, Ethiopia and all live in peace.
Given citizenship after more than 50 years it's pretty awful
Happy for them! Why the kenyan government don't give them citenzenship but give somalis citenzenship. Smh
They came as missionary and identify as kenyans.
We have Somalis that are indigenous to Kenya, they are found in North Eastern Kenya.
@@bellaolum9768 but some Somalis are acquiring citizenship illegally some just cross the border look for a Kenyan Somali and use their documents to acquire birth certificate after that they acquire identity cards and that's all.
@@ovidonil6822 now thats a problem because they all look the same and some have relatives across the border 🤷🏿♂️
@@ovidonil6822 now thats a problem because they all look the same and some have relatives across the border 🤷🏿♂️
@@bellaolum9768 not even relatives,Somalis as long as you are a Somali they will just welcome you. And that's what is happening in the border
There are no Shona people- Shona is a language. Five ethnic groups: Karanga, Ndau, Korekore, Manyika & Zezuru speak a language called Shona
I will never be stateless is this world NEVER maybe in Mars by in earth God forbid it cant be me
Why do they not want to be Zimbabweans?
They were born and bred in Kenya. It is the only home they know. A compassionate person can understand. Put yourself in their shoes.
They were British citizen's until Zimbabwe got independence and UK changed its laws on citizenship to exclude them... To be Zimbabwean, those from the first group would have to get Zimbabwean citizenship, then their descendents, which doesn't cover everyone.
Besides Zimbabwean citizenship comes with limitations in living in Kenya. Kenya could have opted to get them an exemption of some sort, to keep staying in Kenya until they can naturalize.
Because they are Kenyans.
Do you know everyone in the world came from somewhere?
Ask Kenya Indians why they never Returned to India...Ask the Mzungus occupying Kenyan soil who never returned to Europe Those Stupid questions...
Africa is for Africans and A Shona to me has the right to be in Kenya.!!!
They went to Kenya 60 years. You are only asking because you want to say something negative about Zimbabwe
My god! I thought Kenya was a civilised and educated country! But it seems very primitive administration! How came to happen for the people who was more than 5-decades in Kenya but still are allowed to be citizens! What a inhumanbeing, African Union must do something
Lol, from your name you must be South African or Zimbabwean....or Mozambican. Where are you from? before I tell you about Civilization and education ?
@@nairobionline you are very poor headlock! Addresse about the issue not about my nationality! My nationality makes no sense but what matters is those who were more than 5-decades in your country but still remain as a foreigner! What a inhumanbeing!!
@@ducaysane1133 Kettle calling the pot black. And its spelled "Address", Mr. Education
@@nairobionline I got you! Very outdated! Good bye
Zimbabwe is much better than Kenya no need to stay for many years without documentation
Are you sure about that? Kenya is the sixth largest economy in Africa, and third largest in Subsaharan Africa after Nigeria and SA. How are you better??
You're lying im Zimbabwean and i know Kenya is better
I hope those guys can speak shona too
@@donaldtirigu3602
Zimbabwe is better homie, infrastructure wise.
@@NYONAMATENDE
Kenya gets all it’s money from tourism and no industries whilst Zimbabwe is a very industrialized country affected by sanctions.
@@adams8189 Yet manufacturing or industries contribute 16% to Kenya's GDP and 12% to Zimbabwe's GDP.. tourism is not even top 5 in Kenya. The service sector accounts for 42% .. Our GDP is $100 Billion, yours $22 Billion (smaller than our annual budget of $36 Billion).
The next logical step is for the constitution to enable them choose their representative in the legislature under the minority groups. The same goes to other minority groups like Europeans, Nubians, etc, so that they can also feel represented. After all they don't have any region to call theirs and through which, they can elect parliamentary representatives. This is how its done in any upright, humane democracy.
We dont have to follow your views of democracy. Kenya is capable to form its own Democracy speaking as a Kenya.
You vote according to regions, not tribes
Europeans should have no influence in Kenya, they've done enough damage. Let them operate as foreigners.
You talk about "humane democracy" as if the world is fair. Europeans have deliberately made sure that Africa doesn't progress through safeguarding and exploitation schemes.
