The term is now used to refer to “someone with white skin” or “white skin”, but can be used to refer to all foreigners more generally. The word mzungu in Swahili can also mean someone who speaks English. The possessive kizungu (or chizungu) translates as “behaving rich”.
How To Get A Mzungu In Kenya
Forget about Campus Divas for Rich Men! “Get a Mzungu” is the new Facebook dating page. Earlier today as I was going through my Facebook account, I came across these two pages: Get a mzungu and Americans for Kenyans and surprised to find out that actually some of my Facebook mutual friends are following the page maybe for updates or reasons known to themselves.
Despite all the negative things we have heard about online dating, people still risk their lives and engage in this old-fashioned way of dating. If you happen to visit a cyber cafe, you will be able to tell that half of the customers actually browse the internet in search of soul mates. On a daily basis, thousands of Kenyans visit dating sites with the hopes of finding that perfect someone.
Just like other dating sites and pages so are the two. The Americans for Kenyans page allows the user to place a photo along with a piece of personal information while the Get a Mzungu, is full of uploaded photos of white men. If you go through the Facebook page, you will be able to tell how thirsty Kenyan women are; as some even comment on all the photos asking for hooks up.
