Kenya's first athletics gold was by Seraphino Antao,and guess, he was not a black kenyan!!!
That is correct, Antao (who was a sprinter who won gold in the Commonwealth Games of 62), is of Goan descent. Goa was a Portuguese colony on the west coast of India, and Antao appears to be Indian in his pictures in this very interesting link:
Kinaitwa Kiswahili, siyo Swahili. Tumia mkono wako.
portuguese were the first europeans to settle in kenya,had their base at fort jesus,mombasa.The arabs,persians(refer to themselves as shirazi"s,in east africa),and turks led by Mir Ali Bey had settled earlier.
The famous Maasai conquered the interior of kenya in the 1700s.
The original inhabitants of kenya,some bushmen tribes,were assimilated or driven to extinction by the current ïnhabitants.hence there is no "real" or "pure" kenyan, its a community of immigrants,each arriving at its own time.
All kenyans apply for citizenship at 18,and get an ID Card.A kenyan birth certificate is not considered a proof or guarantee to citizenship even to africans.
Up to about 5 years ago only whites,asians,and people not of kenyan african background could be allowed IDs registered in Nairobi.
Williams, I'm genuinely curious where the Masai tribes "came from." Tanzania? This is all quite fascinating. Any insight on the history behind this?
