Meet Gitau, British Rasta soldier who speaks ‘sheng’
British Army’s Lance Corporal George Gitau prepares to serve food to KDF and British soldiers after a joint training session at KDF School of Infantry in Isiolo on October 7.
For Lance Corporal Gitau, the culinary department is his area of expertise. But being an expert in the kitchen does not make him any less of a soldier.
Despite being a British soldier, he maintains that his interactions with his peers in his hometown remain the same.
He has been deployed to South Sudan, Cyprus, Germany, France, Poland and other UK nations.
At his hang-outs in Maringo, Nairobi, they call him Georges. In Queen Elizabeth’s army, he goes by Lance Corporal Gitau.
This is the story of George Gitau, 30, a Kenyan serving in the British Army, but who is also a chef and a Rastafarian.
