The name of the place is Kirua Vunjo. When the earliest emigrants came and settled on the slopes of Kilimanjaro, they found a well-secluded place to hide from their persuaders and suitable for animal keeping and farming. They did not come as one but different people, with diverse backgrounds, sharing only one similar motive; survival and survival of their posterity. Obstacles to this were many. As they wrestled with indigenous wakonyingo, they hunted and were hunted by beasts as they continued to live and adapt to the profound hostility of nature. In the cause of this, emigrants and natives blended and a new progeny was born.
Half a millennium later, the people of Kirua Vunjo continued to define their presence within a wider and modern world. Drawing advantages from unsurpassed access to local historians, archives and events that have shaped Kirua Vunjo, Dr. Assey paints an intriguing and compelling portrait of this poorly understood locale.
This book journeys from the earliest known times. Alluding to the contribution of Kirua Vunjo and its people to loco-regional and the wider world history, it emphasises the urge of being vigilant wielding wisdom gleaned from experiences of the past for the betterment of the future.
