Explanation


Though they are rarely used, recently I have seen quite a good number of glove vendors in Muthurwa Hawker's Market and others who display and sell their gloves to the Matatu and other passengers on the traffic jam along Jogoo road; something I never saw before.
The teens consider wearing gloves whose fingers are cut a "cool" thing; so that only the palm of your hand is covered.
