The moment the DJ played the ‘KASONGO’ song during the Kenya vs Gabon match and the packed Nyayo Stadium erupted (VIDEO)



Monday, March 24, 2025 - Football fans from all walks of life packed Nyayo National Stadium on Sunday for Kenya’s World Cup qualifier against Gabon, which ended in a 2-1 defeat for the home team.

However, the match was not just about football - it became a platform for political expression.

At one point, thousands of fans broke into chants of “Ruto Must Go,” signaling growing frustration, particularly among Gen Z Kenyans, despite the formation of the broad-based Government.

A standout moment was when the DJ played the iconic Kasongo hit, igniting a stadium-wide singalong.

The 1977 classic by Orchestre Super Mazembe has recently gained popularity as a protest anthem.

Originally about a woman seeking reassurance from her husband, Gen Zs have repurposed it as a rallying cry against President Ruto.

The match reflected more than just Kenya’s loss on the pitch - it showcased the deepening social and political grievances of an increasingly vocal generation.
