I’ve never heard anyone refer to Harambee Stars as “handsome boys” in an introduction.
Warembo when used in reference to a team is an example of benevolent sexism.
Before I proceed, can someone, preferably in his communications department, take Waziri Ababu Namwamba’s hand, lead him to one of the black leather seats in his office, the cushy black three-seater, sit him down and tell him slowly and in a calm voice to stop referring to the Junior Starlets team as “warembo”?
‘Mrembo’ Swahili word for ‘beautiful woman.’ Certainly beauty is a wonderful and even desirable human quality, especially for women and girls, but in such a context the word is problematic because the CS uses it in a gendered way.
