Ever wondered why people say there are 'jinis' in the Coastal region? To me, it has always been a mindset. In case you are wondering what 'jinis' are, according to google, jinis are; 'viumbe visiyeonekana anayefikiriwa kuwa anadhuru watu', Loosely translated to 'an invisible creature thought to harm humans'
A user on Twitter by the name Shirley has revealed that most people living there have for decades believed that witch craft, witch hunt etc do exist at the Coast.
She goes on to say that people don't announce when they are arriving or living, this is according to their culture as it is considered a bad omen. She goes on to say that growing up, there were people who couldn't wake up on their travel date if they dared to announce about there departure or arrival to anyone.
She wrote: "So I have a story from Mombasa since I grew up there. People never say the exact dates when they are traveling or coming back home. It’s considered to be some sort of “protection” from “evil eye” oh and there were stories about guys not waking up on the said date of traveling."
"You’ll ask someone “Safari ni ya lini?” and they’ll give such a vague response manake they are worried about your intentions." She continued
Other people who have lived or current live in the Coastal region joined in to the conversation and this is what they had to say:
