He's not Kenyan, he's a comedian living in the UK and originally from malawi. I have relatives in these international schools and they stufy Swahili as a subject that is being examined. My f*cking ex is Italian but she speaks fluent Swahili because she learnt Swahili in a school offering British curriculum. Daliso was in Kenya in 80s. That is not the current situation in Kenya. The journalist and this channel should get their facts right and do some research on the topic before yapping. 🚮
This is called bad mangement because it is only in Africa and other black countries and communities that are happening, are you tell us that the authorities don't know what is going on in those private schools.
Kenyans behave Posh in England.. see why their country is in turmoil
It is wrong to force people into learning a different language and drop their pride.
Now is Gen-Z in control get rid off all you despise. Ruto is a mess especially when he rolled out a red carpet for a monarchy known for killing and looting. The earlier he’s thrown out the window the better.
Just a minor correction mysisterHe is actually Malawia.His name is Dalitso Chaponda son of aprominent Malawi politician.He lives in the UK.
😢Latin, i puke.
These kinds of schools are common in Nigeria, too. "British International School," "American International School," "Turkish International School."
No one is erasing anything if you ever been in Kenya you’ll know they prefer English and English is their national language
I don't learn kiswahli too and I'm high school student in Nairobi
BLACK PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID
Right now its mandatory to learn swahili in all international schools in kenya.
😂😂 we Can’t be colonized twice 🇰🇪🇰🇪✊🏿✊🏿
That's crazy
The problem with this guy and his channel is that he always looks at rich Kenyans and he assumes that the whole country is like that. Go to the countryside, slums and to eastlands where the real kenyans live. Rich Kenyans don't even consider themselves as kenyans… Wacha ujinga bro leta unono yako pahali wakenya wako
Gobezz🎉🎉
This is the most stupid thing ever.they should not given any licenses to operate.
Kenyan's u must wake up swahili must speaken all Africa 🌍 so that we shall love one and another as sisters and brothers
not only schools but also parents contribute highly to this
I know of a parent who says that she will only take her children to schools where students speak English and not Swahili
Nah , you can't force schools to teach certain subjects . That's mental , stop being emotional . Then why are u talking in English right now if "we should have a language we all communicate in " . It's called a free market . If a school woke up today and said they won't teach algebra it's up to them as long as they produce students that pass major exams
Omg this is colonialism at its finest. How is the education ministry not on top of this. This is low hanging fruit that should have been fixed years ago.
Because Kenya they are not proud of their own especially when it’s come to Swahili, they been bullying others in EA for not speaking good English. They see themselves British and that their own country proudly problem. 😅😅 we keep our Swahili with those who love to use it or learn it or teach their people. ❤✌🏽
inform yourself he's from malawi stop this not kenyan and all the international schools in kenya teach swahili as a main subject
No wonder when I watch any kind of Kenyan interview no once I ever come across anyone speaking in a full swahili without mixing with English. I used to think it was done on purpose not thinking they can't even speak it fluently. Kudos to Tanzania because even political matters are mostly addressed in Swahili. Love Tanzanian❤
I don't really mind which language is used, even Swahili is a mixture of Arabic, Hindi and local African languages, it is written in latin alphabets and has adopted English vocabulary. As long as there is communication the language doesn't matter
If you only knew the reason why Swahili is watered down in Kenya. It has nothing to do with "Posh" schools, it is more of what the language contains.
He's tripping
You should speak it too😢
FUNNY Why you choosing now to speak a language that it's been forced on you? Or There is man with a gun behind the camera… ķkkkkkk
Nowonder former President Moi Son,Gideon Moi can't speak fluent Swahili.What a shame
I studied in Italy and I had to give an exam on the "Roman Empire". It had nothing to do with my degree but it was a requirement. My degree was in Italian language so we can say I was fully integrated within the Italian culture.
Fastforward to today. I live in the UK and I met two Kenyan ladies in BurgerKing sometimes back (I knew they were Kenyan via the flag bracelets we wear). After exchanging pleasantries and learning they were from Nairobi, I switched to Swahili. They were not having it. Apparently they were daughters of a minister in Kenya (I wont say the name) and they claimed they do not speak Swahili.
I asked them where they were born. When they said Kenya and even studied there, I was not having it. I bid them goodbye na nikajipa shughuli. This is not just a travesty to our culture and identity but a shame to anyone who would ditch their own culture to imitate another one.
Some Kenyans here don't want to speak English or their mother tongue. They claim they have lived here for 5 or 10 years and have forgotten. But when they go to India, they never speak with an Indian accent. Go figure.
Why is only in Africa?
So sad 😢 colonialism is not yet finish 🙃
You arr not helping since you are also speaking in English I haven't heard one word of kiswahili hili from you sare saana
Thank you for the information our sister..it’s a wake up call
All those international schools behave the same
I studied in Malaysia and a subject in Malay language was a must in every university there.
