Forget the weather man, matumbo can predict death, strange diseases, sunny or rainy days April 15th 2021 at 10:51:00 GMT +0300
While in some communities intestines from either cows, goats or sheep are a delicacy (also known as matumbo), this is not the case with others such as the Nandi, Keiyo, Pokot, Turkana and Marakwet.
In these regions, one can predict calamities, ranging from death, strange diseases and how the weather pattern will turn out just by examining animal intestines.
In Turkana community, the ‘reading and interpretation’ of the intestines is known as ‘akiswom ngamaliteny’ while for the Pokot and Marakwet, it is known as ‘keyeng’ or ‘marar’ while the Keiyo and Nandi, refer it to a ‘biretab mo’.
