Lwanda Magere was born with super hero powers, he embodied the aspiration of the Luo people.
I wish to commend the efforts of the two writers for coming up with this interesting story about Lwanda Magere. Churchill Ochieng’ and Mela Tomaseli consulted me about this project and I encouraged them to go ahead since it was highly promising. They have worked very hard and completed this book. As creative and performing artists, they have succeeded in documenting the exploits of Lwanda Magere. This was one of the Luo legendary heroes who fought pitched battles with other tribes that resisted Luo settlement on Lake Victoria Basin in Western Kenya and Northern Tanzania. Lwanda Magere was born with super-hero powers and Every tribe has heroes in its history, but few have had children that have inspired so much hope! Sometimes heroes have become legends by playing with the supernatural and the fantastic, but often they are simply men and women who have lived through periods of change and have come to represent the desires and ambitions of their people. This is the first of a series of books that will take us on a journey among the tribes of Kenya.
