The fishermen in Mombasa have come with an implementation of a new and regular use of a condom. One of the fishermen only identified as Ngoka said it is for the protection their mobile phones while in the ocean.
"You should not be surprised when you come across any fisherman in Mombasa with a condom. It is not meant for sex but for a very different purpose that you could never imagine of."
"Tunapoenda baharini tunapatana na mambo mengi. Sisi hubeba simu na condom kwa sababau chochote chaweza tokea ama simu ikaingia kwa maji. Condom hutusaidia kwa sababu simu inapoanguka majini, huwa maji hayaingii,” Ngoka said.
Condoms have been known to be used during sex to avoid unwanted pregnancies and protection from STIs.
Fishermen in Mombasa say condom is waterproof hence protecting their mobile phones.
Ngoka narrated how bad weather caused death of three fishermen in thethe Ocean last week.
"This was after the heavy currents capsized their boat. Other fishermen were rescued because they had their phones which they used to call other people for help," he said.
