African Traditional Wrestling Tournament, Mar 20 2010 @ Kinyanjui Technical Training Institute
Traditional wrestling was a very important feature of life in ancient Africa. The sport was immensely popular in Egypt, Nubia, West Africa and in many other parts of the continent before the colonial era threatened it with extinction. Despite this long period of lag, the sport’s unwritten memory somehow faltered its way into independent Africa. In some parts it simply never faded, for instance among the Nuba people of Central Sudan, where African wrestling remained a widely practiced activity despite colonialism and Sudan’s long civil war
Several efforts are today being pursued to restore the sport’s popularity across Africa. In Kenya, SYDI (an NGO registered in 2008 to help address the socio-cultural & economic problems afflicting Nairobi’s marginalised youths) has come up with the idea of popularizing African wrestling as part of its fundamental campaign to use sports as an avenue for addressing the numerous problems facing Kenya’s young people. This tournament is the first step.
The tournament will involve a team of wrestlers from Kakamega, the Kivuli Bull Wrestlers from Nairobi, and a team of Nuba wrestlers from Sudan.
VENUE: Kinyanjui Technical Training Institute in Dagoretti, Nairobi.
DATE:Saturday 20 March 2010, from 1.00 – 4.00 PM
