Kwani? (Sheng for so what?) is a leading African literary magazine based in Kenya that has been called "undoubtedly the most influential journal to have emerged from sub-Saharan Africa", although that tribute might more accurately go to Transition Magazine, which was founded in Kampala, Uganda, in 1961. The magazine grew out of a series of conversations that took place among a group of Nairobi-based writers in the early 2000s. Its founding editor, Binyavanga Wainaina, spearheaded the project shortly after winning the 2002 Caine Prize for African Writing. The first print issue of the magazine was published in 2003. Kwani? has been called "the most renowned literary journal in sub-Saharan Africa". It is produced by the Kwani Trust, which is "dedicated to nurturing and developing Kenya’s and Africa’s intellectual, creative and imagination resources through strategic literary interventions".Kwani?, which receives significant funding from the Ford Foundation, has become a major platform for writing from across the African continent. It has served as a launching pad for the careers of several writers, including Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor, winner of the 2003 Caine Prize; Uwem Akpan, author of the bestselling short-story collection Say You're One of Them, and Billy Kahora, now the magazine's managing editor. Each edition of the journal contains up to 500 or more pages of new journalism, fiction, experimental writing, poetry, cartoons, photographs, ideas, literary travel writing and creative non-fiction. The seventh edition of Kwani? "is subtitled 'Majuu' – a sheng (street slang) reference to 'overseas' – and is a 570-page testament to the journal's diasporic roots."

Fursa ni mwanya, nafasi ama uwezekano wa kufanikisha jambo fulani (kwa minajili ya makala hii–tafsiri hii inatufaa).

Hebu tuambizane ukweli, kudai katiba mpya kuna dhambi gani katika taifa hili mpaka kufikia hatua ya kufungulia na kesi za ugaidi? Kwani mjadala tu wa kuidai katiba mpya una tatizo gani hadi kufikia kukamata viongozi wote wa chama kimoja kilichotajwa kufanya mjadala huo?

Alianza vizuri kutoa hotuba zenye kusisimua na kuelekeza kwa upole na unyenyekevu mwingi lakini siku hizi ni kufokafoka tu na kujihami kana kwamba ameambia anaenda kupinduliwa mda si mrefu. Au CCM wamemharibu mapema hivi.

Binafsi si shabiki wa madirisha yanayotamba siku hizi, aluminiamu na pvc. Sababu kubwa ni kutokuwa na uimara wa kutosha na pia hata yakifunguliwa yanachukua sehemu kubwa ya dirisha na hivyo kuzuia hewa.
Hii ni mbaya zaidi kwa mimi wa sehemu ya joto. Madirisha haya yakifungwa, huko ndani mtajuta...

Mtu kama huyu msomi mzuri tu kwa nini watu wanafikiri hawezi kuwa mkuu wa wilaya? Au kwa vile aliamua kujiajili kwenye tasnia ya sanaa. Naona kuna kasumba inaanza kujengeka hapa nchini ya kufikiri kwamba wengi wanojihusisha na sanaa ni watu ambao ni fyatu. Fikira hizi siyo sawa.
