Binyavanga Wainaina makes radical resolution for 2017 after suffering mishaps in Kenya and Germany

Gay author, Binyavanga Wainaina, has decided to make radical decision after he suffered misfortune in Kenya and Germany.

Sometimes in June 2016, Binyavanga Wainaina narrated how he was beaten silly by a racist taxi driver in Germany. The gay author travelled to Berlin in April to seek medical help; he suffered stroke in 2015.

Binyavanga has been struggling to get his lover, who serves in the Kenya Navy, to travel to Germany to meet him. His attempts failed to yield anything since the navy doesn’t allow servicemen to travel to Europe.

He was forcing to ask Kwani Trust Board to finance his trip to South Africa where he was set to meet his lover. But the board also refused to bulge to Binyavanga’s demand.

Binyavanga was compelled to make radical resolution following recent developments; he has resorted to settling in South Africa, a country he praised for having equality for all human beings.

 “I am finally, not coming home to Kenya to live after my stay in Germany in April. I will continue to live in south Africa.That is a country with big dreams for all its human beings. Kenya would rather see me dead, than live and love,” Binyavanga wrote on Facebook on New Year ’s Eve.

He also said he was taking time off Facebook because of the frustration he was suffering as a result of Kwani refusal to finance his lover’s trip to SA.

“Now. I am going off Facebook for that month that Kwani? denied me and my lover. We still have not met.”
