Someone is stealing Vigango from Kenyas south coast beach towns and villages around Shimoni, Diani, and Tiwi, near the historic Shimoni Slaves Caves. Who can it be? Kigango (Singular) / Vigango (Plural) - Mijikenda cultural and memorial totem effigies placed on tombstones of departed, respected, and revered, spiritual elders.The Kigango Oracle is an adventure story set at sea along Kenyas southern coast. It recounts the tale of Kanze, a young Digo girl with special powers. Kanze and her younger brother, Kombo, wake up one morning to find the Mijikenda cultural totem removed from their Grandfather Menzas grave in the family cemetery! The Mijikenda believe that once an erected Kigango is removed, misfortune and curses befall the descendants of the ancestor whose Kigango has been disturbed. Kanze, her brother, Kombo, and their friends Kibibi and Katana, set out to find Kanze and Kombos late Grandfather Menzas Kigango, which has been stolen by village youths and sold to Clark, a European collector, who intends to smuggle it to Europe. The spirit of Kanzes grandfather, Menza, through a magical Kigango pendant he gives to Kanze in a nightly visitation, helps her to retrieve the Kigango as well as other Vigango in the village.
