Kenyan poet beats Tanzanian rivals to win kiswahili award

A Kenyan poet is among the winners of the 2018 Mabati- Cornell Kiswahili Prize for African Literature to be feted next month bin Tanzania.
Jacob Ngumbau emerged victorious for His Kiswahili poetry work "moto wa kifua" (Fire of the coconut shell) and will take home a prize of sh500,000 during a ceremony to be held in Dar es salaam on February 15.

Ala kumbe Wakenya ikifika ni kiswahili ni wanoma than their Tanzagiza counterparts not only in English but also in Swahili.

Remember the best English is spoken in Dublin in the Republic of Ireland and NOT UK.!! Kwa hiyo usishangae kuona mshindi wa Kiswahili katika Kenya. London wanazungumza Cocky English ni sawa na Kiswahili cha Zanzibar we could term it as “cocky Kiswahili”! Mkuregenzi au Mkuu wa Idara ya Kiswahili wa BBC ni Mganda!!
