Activist Boniface Mwangi has shared an emotional statement on his X timeline highlighting about some of the troubles he has had to endure since the beginning of the year.
The activist has complained about losing friendships due to betrayal, losing businesses he had invested heavily, losing comrades in the streets due to protests and he complained that he attended the most funerals this year in his entire life.
“How do you cope? At the beginning of the year l lost important friendships because of betrayal. Deep, murderous betrayal. I Iost two businesses that l had invested so heavily, and the relationships that came with it. Lost comrades in the streets protests. I attended the most funerals l have ever attended in my entire life, and l can still smell the stench of bodies rotting at City mortuary,” he complained.
In the same post, he revealed that he was injured on his arm during the gen Z protests and last week he was injured again when police tried to abduct him.
He has explained that his body has too much stress and it continues to break down and he has had to be hospitalised. Boniface said he has been in and out of hospital seven times.
“I was injured in the June protests on my left arm and when it was almost healing, it was injured again as the police tried to abduct me last week. Because of the stress, the body just decides to break down.
“I have been hospitalized once this year, and in and out of hospital like 7 times in 2024. The doctors canât find anything wrong. The cure is rest. How do you rest when calls and messages of people needing help donât stop even when youâre going through the worst? l still have to try and help,” Boniface Mwangi stated.
