Kwani? (Sheng for so what?) is a leading African literary magazine based in Kenya that has been called "undoubtedly the most influential journal to have emerged from sub-Saharan Africa", although that tribute might more accurately go to Transition Magazine, which was founded in Kampala, Uganda, in 1961. The magazine grew out of a series of conversations that took place among a group of Nairobi-based writers in the early 2000s. Its founding editor, Binyavanga Wainaina, spearheaded the project shortly after winning the 2002 Caine Prize for African Writing. The first print issue of the magazine was published in 2003. Kwani? has been called "the most renowned literary journal in sub-Saharan Africa". It is produced by the Kwani Trust, which is "dedicated to nurturing and developing Kenya’s and Africa’s intellectual, creative and imagination resources through strategic literary interventions".Kwani?, which receives significant funding from the Ford Foundation, has become a major platform for writing from across the African continent. It has served as a launching pad for the careers of several writers, including Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor, winner of the 2003 Caine Prize; Uwem Akpan, author of the bestselling short-story collection Say You're One of Them, and Billy Kahora, now the magazine's managing editor. Each edition of the journal contains up to 500 or more pages of new journalism, fiction, experimental writing, poetry, cartoons, photographs, ideas, literary travel writing and creative non-fiction. The seventh edition of Kwani? "is subtitled 'Majuu' – a sheng (street slang) reference to 'overseas' – and is a 570-page testament to the journal's diasporic roots."

Katika kila kona ya mazungumzo, swali hili linaibuka: Kizazi cha zamani kilikosea wapi? Au ni kizazi cha sasa kinachopotea? Wazazi wetu, waliotangulia na kuishi kwa misingi ya maadili thabiti, wanawalaumu vijana wa leo kwa kupoteza mwelekeo. Wanadai kuwa kizazi cha sasa...
Na ukizingatia Watani zangu Wahaya kwa 99% ni Waganda na Boby Wine nae ni Mganda nahisi labda ni Ndugu kwa jinsi walivyofanana. Ni kama hata Mimi pia Watu wengi wanavyosema kuwa nafanana mno na yule 'Mjanja Mjanja' wa 'Kiimani' Tanganyika Packers Kawe.

Ni wazi kwamba Tundu Lisu ni mwenyekiti Mpya wa CHADEMA. Wakati huo Mbowe anakwenda kuwa mjumbe na mshauri wa chama.
Mabaraza yote yamesimama na Lisu siyo kwa bahati mbaya, wamesukwa kufanya hivyo. Kitendo cha Lema kujitokeza mwishoni ni mkakati wa chama kupata attention zaidi ya umma. Leo hadi...
Tunamuombea apatikane akiwa salama. Lakini naomba nijibiwe maswali haya:-
1. Kwa zaidi ya miaka 2 sasa amekuwa anaishi Nairobi huku akaunti zake za mitandao ya Kijamii zikishambulia mambo ya Serikali. Je ni nani anamlipa kwa kazi hiyo?
2. Ameweza kuwachukua na kuwatafutia makazi vijana maarufu...

Mpaka hii leo nafikiria, tena critically, ilifanyika vipi hadi John Pombe Mgufuli akafikia hatua ya kuwa Rais wa Tanzania?

CCM hakuna mtu anawanyima usingizi kama Lissu. Hata siku ile Lissu anachukua fomu CCM walipata taabu sana. Wanamjua Lissu kuwa si mwepesi wa kukubali ujinga kwa lugha yoyote ile. Wakati ule maridhiano yakiendelea, Lissu aling'amua mapema kuwa kinachoendelea kwenye maridhiano ni danganya toto tu...
