The Nandi leaders concluded that they would give Lwanda Magere a beautiful woman from there clan to marry. They selected the most beautiful girl and sent her to Lwanda.

One day it happened that Lwanda Magere fell sick and because his first wife was away, his second wife from the Kalenjin community had to find medicine for him. Lwanda instructed her to cut his shadow with a knife and instill the medicine.

She was surprised when she saw the shadow bleeding. During the night, she secretly left Lwanda's home and went back to her community where she was received with joy. She narrated to them that Lwanda's shadow had flesh and was the point of his weakness...

The Kalenjins broke into war with Luos... When Lwanda tried to escape, one of the Nandi warriors remembered that Lwanda had powers in his shadow, he went to a hill, threw a spear into Lwanda's shadow. He fell down, died and his body turned into a smooth stone.

The war between the Kipsigis (Msingi wa Kiswahili Darasa la 4 ) and the Luo ended when one Luanda Magere had his shadow speared.

If the Kenyan Defence forces, or even the Americans ever accessed this technology then the al Shabaab would have already been defeated.

We know from the narrative that Luanda Magere did not protect his shadow. What does this mean? Perhaps he had grown too complacent to care?

In any case, this story has much more than we have cared to appreciate. But History has to be rewritten in order to accommodate non-Eurocentric narratives, and the African perspective or version can only be investigated and written by us.
