Activist Boniface Mwangi is known for his vigor in demonizing social evils especially against the government and by our 'MPigs'. But the dude wants to run for office as an MP for Starehe constituency in Nairobi. In simple terms, he also wants to become an Mpig!!

Is it a case of 'monkey see monkey do'? We are watching from a safe distance to see what becomes of him if at all he succeeds in his ambition to become an Mpig.

Anyways, away from his activism Boniface is a professional photographer. He also runs an organisation called PAWA254, which he started five years ago after selling his three cars.

He's been the president at PAWA, but it seems like he is stepping down. He doesn't want to be a 'Mugabe'. Or so it seems.

And as he preps to immerse himself in the dirty game of politricks, he is left with just a few days at the helm of his artistry organisation.

He has bid his 'baby' a goodbye in a heartfelt post on his social media pages.

Reads part of his post:

"I was born poor. I spent my youth running away from poverty. All I wanted was to make it and by 27, I made it or so I thought. l married a beautiful wife, owned three cars, a successful photography business, a modelling agency and substantial shareholding in a media company. Like many people from dis-advantaged backgrounds, I felt the need to prove myself by owning as much as I could. ‘Things’ instead of ‘substance’ defined me.

I had an awakening when I realized that the real fight was not against the lack of material things, but the system that propagated poverty. In taking my stance, I sold the cars and started PAWA254.

I am currently serving my notice at PAWA254, January will be my last month as team leader. l am confident that the succeeding leadership team will continue with the good work, and take PAWA254 to new heights... Aluta Continua!"
