I pity us.
In the 1940s , the colonial government introduced destocking measures in the Pokot country to reduce the number of cattle.
However, the Pokot, under the leadership of a blind prophetess called Chepusia who gave them charms against the white man, resisted the exercise.
The Pokot valued their cattle so much that they rejected the money that was being offered to them by the government to get rid of 10% of their cattle. But, the government was equally determined to implement its destocking measures.
One way of pushing the measures through was to curtail the influence of prophetess Chepusia, whose charm incited the Pokot to resist.
The Seventh Day Adventists Church was in the very early days of doing eye cataract operations and used to operate a mobile hospital in the area.
To prove to Chepusia that the white man's magic was stronger than her charm, they took her to the hospital where her cataracts were removed, and she was able to see again.
Next, with the Pokot having refused to accept the money that was being offered to them to get rid of 10% of their cattle, the government came up with a different tactic.Individual Pokots were to slaughter their excess cows then take the tails to the police station at Kapenguria as a confirmation.
But the Pokot were clever. They were simply cutting off the tails of their cows and taking them to the Police station as confirmation of slaughter.
The police and the administration received so many tails that they almost believed that the destocking campaign was becoming a success. Little did they know that they were being fooled by the Pokots.
The reality only dawned on them went they went on a patrol in Pokot villages. They discovered that the Pokots still maintained huge herds of cattle but with no tails.
Because of this, the District Commissioner and Inspector Mike White, the officer in charge of Kapenguria police station, decided to conduct regular in the area.
But there was something strange. During patrols, they always found stick barriers laid across the path by the Pokot. Investigations by the Special Branch revealed that the sticks were to put a curse on the District Commissioner and Kenya Police officers in the area for overseeing the destocking campaign.
They sticks had been laid there by the Pokot under the instructions of Prophetess Chepusia, who advised that the White man would be forced out by calamities in a short time period.
According to Inspector Mike White, within a week or ten days of the patrol, the District Commissioner was kicked in the chest by his horse and suffered several broken ribs and flown out to Kitale. Then, two European Police Officers leading a General Service Unit team in the destocking campaign went down with a severe illness that they had to be hospitalised. White himself went down with sand-fly fever and was taken to Kitale Hospital. Only the District Officer remained in the camp.
While recalling the incident, White posed this question "So, does African Magic really exist?" "Perhaps," he replied himself.
