Mathare FC permanently bans their diehard fan over viral video threatening women

Mathare Women Football Club has permanently banned a fan following the emergence of a viral video clip in which he is captured promoting Femicide.

The Club, in a statement, said that the fan named Ronaldo will no longer be allowed to attend its matches or enter its premises.

The ban also stops him from associating himself with the team in any other manner.

“After video footage emerged yesterday of one of our fans, insulting and giving irresponsible remarks that promote violence against women, we have decided as a team to permanently ban him,” it reads.

“Mathare United Women Team will not tolerate characters like him, who promote violence not only against women but against any human being,” it adds.

In the video, three men are seen insulting some women holding placards in protesting against Femicide in an undisclosed location.

“We are going to kill, you women are going to die, we are going to slash,” one of the men in red pants is heard saying.

“You know how men have suffered; it is because of these women. This is bunge la mwananchi bwana, inatuguza. I cannot take you to Pizzaa and eat my money…,” another man yells.

Activist Boniface Mwangi weighed in on the matter while calling on President William Ruto to speak out about it even as he urged other men to support the calls for an end to women's killings.

“This is why we as Kenyan men should speak boldly and loudly against,” he said.

“These two men hatefully tell these young ladies, “We are going to kill you!” As a man and a father, these men don’t speak for the men I know,” he said about the video clip.

On Saturday, various human rights defenders and civil Society Organisations came together in various parts of the country to protest the increased cases.
