In This Town, They Burn People For Being Witches (#70) 

So Tommy goes to a town, visits an upstairs restaurant where he's told by one of the patrons that he is an African, and the waitress at the restaurant gives him a tour at a quarry. African hospitality is special.

I just love the platonic friendships that seem to happen naturally. It's so refreshing to see the genuine interaction and that's why I like this channel.

Need to give context to "witches" stories in Kisii. Kisii is the most populated area in Kenya p/sqm, and as a result land is very scarce. As a result, many Kisii emigrate and build homes away from their villages, unlike most Kenyans who have both a city and rural home. The US Marines is full of Kisii villagers, who settle mostly in Dallas and Atlanta, which is mostly because of scarcity of land, and not easy to live in areas where other communities live. Land disputes are very common due to population pressure, and people will use any means to get land, including accusing old women of witchcraft so that they can disinherit rival families of land.

Sue was lovely ! The people of Kenya seem so friendly. I would love to visit. Also, you are super close to 100K Tommy! Congrats 👏

can you imagine in the US, someone serving you lunch, then ripping off the apron and give an entire tour of the area? Wow, she was charming

Thank you Tommy 😊 Sister Sue took you to her local sda church,the river where she got baptized, and you both talked about the Bible and loved that. Looking forward for more videos. 😀

Sue is awesome! Love her energy and friendly demeanor. Felt like I was there taking the tour with you guys.

Your videos are so real, it is a joy to watch. Thanks for sharing your exciting moments with us!

What an awesome village, everyone was so incredibly friendly. I hope they don't think they would be treated differently everywhere in western countries. Just like each town in Africa is different, each town is different elsewhere. There are bad and good people, videos like these make me confident we all have more in common than we are different.

Tommy u should visit the carvers and shop of the Kisii Soapstone . Their Soapstone is shipped all over the world ! I enjoyed your video as always and I’m already looking forward to seeing the next one !

I like how Suez explaining everything clearly, she may transform her career causes she very fit in tour guider, your video is great you keep my day,have a good journey, wishing from🇹🇿🇹🇿

My kisii uncle used to "sacrifice" bulls down by the lake. Everytime a bull was sacrificed, a curse was removed from our family. I think that's all I'm allowed to say. 😔

I could sit and have a long conversation with the guy wearing the full brim hat under the shade. He seems very personable. 😊

Tommy gets in to these place very illusive. You bring us unseen parts in a different light my man. Thank you

Good video. Very educational. Nice people. Thank you, Thomas.

This girl is so friendly, whether genuine or with expectations I hope you made her life better in the end..😎

Your videos are really amazing. I'm hooked, man. You blend in very well with the locals. Awesome content.

I like sue, she did everything to show you around and give you content, Im pretty sure she had never even gone to that quarry judging by how she decided to sneak in a photoshoot while at it.

I tell you , a white dude came the other day and kept pestering the village populates with witch questions.😂

You were so spot on with the Kenyan Showers Explanation!

I could watch your videos forever man! I'm learning so much about Africa and it's culture! Looking forward to seeing much more of your travels Tommy!

As other kenyan youtubers view clean streets, road projects, you go the culture and people way and lasting. Intelligence.

Almost hitting a 100k , thanks Tommy

Tommy. My guy, my guy. Hope all is well. Upload more regular, I enjoy your adventures.

100k soon! Let’s make it happen!!! Edit: 99k now!

I like the ‘irony’ displayed in going to school and speaking fluent English. It reminded me of Ngugi wa Thiogo and Fanon. Ngugi holds that ‘language is one of the Europeans pathologies and tools of dominance in the African context.’ Then Fanon presents an ‘egotistical assumption of the Africans with a mastery of European language. Such that an African who can speak English well is deemed learned or civilized.’ Learning and speaking any European language fluently is excellent, but that doesn’t qualify one’s education. The mzungu struggles to talk in the local language while the man was displaying his mastered language. Nevertheless, the content and hospitality are outstanding. Such hospitality can only be found in Africa, thanks to Ubuntu.

Tommy dude wazz up.... Man you giving us what we signed for... Thank you

The burning of witches was just land inheritance disputes... The children had to find an 'effective way' to cut short the lives of their parents or guardians who maybe hold on to the generational land for too long.

Very chilled out town. Btw the shower head has a heating element. The switch on the head is for regulating the power. Then the more water goes through the slower it will heat.

I'm fascinated by your ability to learn new languages.

It's time to give Tommy a Swahili name! His Swahili is seriously improving even his pronunciation sounds more East African.

I am from Narok county and my favorite Kenyan President of all time was the late President Daniel Toroitich arap Moi. Most Kenyans loved him except parts of Central and nyanza. May he rest in peace.

am sorry you were not covered for the past two weeks I too fell victim to corrupt police who are not man enough to take me to court instead took me to a mental institution to be touched using psychicstrict drugs...I want justice

2:18 We know her... Sue: Oh you know me! They know me! I'm happy now we all know Sue 😁

Another great video, really enjoy seeing your adventures in Africa.

Informative, no African news channel can match Tommy’s capacity at illustrative journalism. If You agree smash the like button.

Mr. Sbbatical, go to Manga Hills Kisii, find the small lake at Manga. Ask about it. Great scenery. A good place for some content. Enjoyed!

Sabbatical to 100k! let's go fam

Am kisii, am totally blown away watching a vlog about my home place for the first time!! It's like watching yourself on a big screen somehow 😊

I love watching your channel all the way from NC, USA and i was excited you were in my home area in Kisii. I wish was there to take you around. There is witchcraft in Kisii for sure so those people you talked to did not open up but not as bad you would think. Unfortunately there are some occasions where very old elderly women have been mistaken to be witches and been burned alive :( Very sad. People claim that the witches dig up freshly buried bodies and take some body parts to use in their witchcraft. How true that is, is up in the air.

The last guy wasn't expecting any handout from you Tommy. The ksh20 is given to him by the travelling company for bringing a passenger. Good content though.

Another great content bro! Keep it up. Am a Kenyan in Kenya and loves how you get to show me and the whole world the other coold side of different parts of the country. It is cheaper for us to have the Instant Showers on demand than having a tank of heated water. Cant wait for the next one.

Let's say 200k🔥🔥🇰🇪🇰🇪Kanairo

Man Tommy Im from Kisii good to know you visited Kisii. Africa and hospitality are great friends !

I really enjoy your uploads Tommy. Much love from Norway!

Love the content. Really makes me wanna travel Africa

Love your adventures Sabatical! You lead a very exciting life... something a woman really can’t do alone. I’m envious of your journeys but thank you for sharing with us!

Thank you for all you do

I think its cheaper to buy those showerhead heaters than making a heating system, thats why they have them.

98.9 k. Almost to 100k Tommy!

Hoping you will catch millions view everytime you uploaded 🙏 You will deserve it tommy🙋

What a lovely and peaceful day. Also the Mzungu! from the kind was way too funny.

WELL shit bud, you have doubled in subs since I started following you! Great Job! Keep up with these style of vlogs!

Kisii's are nice but when you hear about the witches and night runners you quickly take a chill pill

I was waiting for the lions 🦁 to jump out of the bushes at the quarry pond! The building technique those guys were using to build those houses was amazing. No machines, just good Ole elbow grease 💪!

100k subs on the way💯 i remember when u only heard 8k

Great job Tommy. Telling the untold in here

So refreshing not having a RU-vidr saying ad nauseam: OMG, subscribe, what, please subscribe, smash that bell, subscribe, and did I mention subscribe, lol ... I thank you for not using any of that crap Tommy ...

Good video. The most notorious place for witchcraft in Kenya is Kitui. You will even see posters in big cities like Kisumu advertising witch doctors from Kitui. There is even a rock in Kitui whereby if a man goes round it 7 times he becomes a woman 😀😀. It's called NZAMBANI rock. Good luck in swahili is "Kila la kheri"

Can’t wait to see what happens next :)

Thanks for footage m8! In that bad was plenty room for Sue is well ... cheers

Looks a nice chilled out part of Kenya.

😄😄 "If I was in Mombasa I'd have been accused of being a terrorist at least ## times by now" Not with your new and improved beard! 😁

Sabbatical is now at 100K🥳🥳🥳

You made it to my hometown and enjoyed typical Kisii hospitality 👏👏👏

That Kisii man using tough vocabulary to the amazement of Tommy. When he said "fables" Tommy didn't understand what he was saying for a minute lol

You’re so lucky to have met such nice people along the way despite your quest to ‘witch hunt’ ~ resolving your Kenyan shower issues is a Bonus!

100k coming your way bro💯

That kid shouting mozoongo right after that convo with the boda driver cracked me up lmao

20:14 it's quite sad to see how Uganda 🇺🇬 has become a laughing stalk around the whole East African region,

Great video as always 💯. Almost 100K subscribers. 🔥🔥🔥🔥Everybody knows you Tommy. #Masdin😅😅

Suzan has a crash to one of those quarry guys and using our boy to get them jealous or to make an impression. Hat's off Sue, you are a legend :)

Sad to see the Chinese getting so much control. Colonialism never stops.

Haha they wanted a “soda”afterwards

Another great vid Tommy stay safe 👍

Love it. You have a very dry humor and I don’t think they understood if you were joking or not about the witches. For a moment, even I couldn’t tell lol

Incase you need an Emergency baptism. This one killed me😂😂

Another great video from Tommy 🙌

Tommy is on the Soda Sabbatical ! 😂 Great videos !

Africa us a beautiful country. Every human evolved from there.

Now that you are in western Kenya,u should visit Kakamega and Bungoma.

Still in Kenya... working in quarry before.. Filipino friend here Sabbatical..

I'm hooked to your videos

suicide showers! Ahhhhhhh, nothing like adjusting the water flow and getting a shock at the same time, really wakes you up hahahaha

I love 💕 this channel

Just like here in Europe it is assumed witches (and the burning of) were all women when it is not the case there or here. Cool vids brother, thoroughly enjoyable content. Thank you

hi tommy im a kenyan and i love your chanel welcome back again come to taita its a nice place too

The sad thing is many innocent people are accused of being witches even when they r not witches. Nice vlogg as usual Tommy

The woman was trying hard to mark her territory...Introducing Tommy to everyone. At some point asking him to taking pictures

20:57 I feel the sarcasm from this side of the screen Because the male mentioned was a dictator

When people in Kenya stare at you its not like they hate they are just curious its just that there are no so many white guys in some parts of the country and most of them haven't been close to a white guy before so when they get that chance they take in as much details as possible by staring... It's not that they don't now white guys exit its just that they haven't been up close to them

Haha tommy you needed noise canceling headphones 🎧 :) And I always love your videos, tommy!

I am so glad I love Kenyan people they are so warm and friendly. The treat you like if you are their family. what a really nice place despite the poverty and how little people have.

Danke für das hochladen und deine Mühe

Everybody knows me :D

greetings from india mate 🇮🇳

23:46 I would really like to hear the conversation that ensued after her bold statement, won't you guys?

At 16:23, she said "posho meal" not pusher meal

Tommy, you need to hook up the "Everybody knows me" guy in the market in Nialy, with "everybody knows me" Sue. 😉😊🤣

Spanish inquisitors must be really jealous of this town then
