Who the hell is Makmende?

Tuesday, 23 March 2010

Cooler than Shaft, badder than Chuck Norris, Makmende is an ass-kicking character played by Kevin "K1" Maina in the 1970's-themed Just-A-Band video that's gone totally viral.

Makmende was a term used in the early to mid 1990s to refer to someone who thinks he’s a superhero. For example, if a boy who’s watched one too many kung-fu movies on TV decides to unleash his newly acquired combat skills, he would be asked “Unajidai Makmende, eh?” (Who do you think you are, Makmende?).

But is there anything Kenya's first superhero can't do? Well, not much, as you can see at the Makmende site and on his Facebook wall.
