The photos from the event that were shared by Kalonzo, show teacher Kathambaria receiving a goat gift from Waititu, who seems to have been handing it over on behalf of the Wiper leader who is seen holding a microphone.
Other photos show the attendees, including Kalonzo, engaging in a dance that looks like the now famous ‘Anguka nayo‘ anthem dancing style.
